Dude. Those things can be awesome!
I'll go leg press over 500lbs, do my squat routine, and deadlift - and then end my leg day with a few sets of the adduction machine (the one where you move your legs apart)
It gives shape to your quads and is one of the easier exercises - I've gotten past the stares I get while using it haha0 -
I'm with you, I was in a military gym getting looks from the dudes that walk around with their puffed arms out. You know the ones I'm talking about...big upper body with chicken legs?0

Do you do it with or without your purses?0

The darn adduction machine is always broken at my gym.... :grumble:0

Nothing sexier...lol!!0

Isn't there a cable machine that will do these exercises just as well for the men (and women)?0

You know you feel guilty when you have to post about it with a Saved by the Bell "Come at me bro" meme.

I hear wearing high heels makes your butt look more perky.0

Does this burn calories? Only asking for research purposes.0 -

You guys have me laughing on the floor!
1. I brought my favorite purse
2. Left my heels at home
3. Don't feel guilty unless I am wearing really short shorts and I am free-balling it.0 -

um...
yup a billion.
sadly the calories that come with satisfaction of being self-righteous adds about a billion and one.0 -
Love the look of speed skater glutes. If I still lived in a country where speed skating was a viable sporting option, I probably wouldn't bother with the machine.0

Yeah that's me!
Nice sweater.*
Hey, at least you're not hearing this when you're not wearing a shirt.0 -

No shame in using those machines I have my degree in exercise science and getting certified as a ACSM personal trainer. You need to strength train those muscles they are stabilizers and are important to work and many men often neglect those muscles because they don't want to use those machines so kudos to those who are real men and incorporate a well rounded workout.0

Yeah that's me!
That's called the Sharon Stone machine.
Yeah. I use it with the weights maxed. It's suposed to help where I injured my hammy last year. I don't know if it does or not.
And Whierd. No. I leave my purse in the lockerroom.0 -

I do point 3 on purpose. Then I make eye contact with the ladies, and bite my lip and lick my nostril.0 -

I am pleasantly surprised that you took it as a joke! You are not half bad.0 -

ohhai. I'm going to need to know what time you work out and where. You know, for research and science and stuff.0 -

I sometimes do an occasional set or two on the adduction machine, with my body tilted forward (straight back), just so I can extra target that upper part of my outer glutes. Or I do other things to target them, but that machine sure is an easy thing to just throw in with everything else. I don't care what people think. It's my booty/thighs, not theirs. Lots of bikini competitors and fitness models add it in, and it's also an aspect of some of what Bret Contreras recommends. Obviously it should not be the main focus. It's just an extra thing to add at the end of the work out. And it's not a replacement for major compound moves and variations. I don't do the inner thigh one, it's not necessary.0
