ab machines?

i think its immature to be jealous of ab machines which is obviously your case. You have no facts whatever so ever, you are going on a, " I work hard 3 hours a day in the gym" basis, which I think is a little ignorant. I mean, try it first, or talk to people that have, and then make your decision by that, otherwise I am sure you are a very mature person, I really did not mean to insult you, I just think that its an ignorant perspective to assume that there could be a machine out there to help you get a more defined six pack.

How do you infer that I am jealous of a machine?
At what point did I say I work hard 3 hours a day in the gym?
I took no personal insult from your last post. However, you said my opinion was immature so I am responding.
In your profile you state that you are a personal trainer. Yet you believe that a machine like this can give you a leaner look. You also believe that I can have leaner arms by bending them several times a day (which everyone does anyway):

There is no truth to any of it. And there are three other people on this thread who agree with me.
But that's obviously not enough for you. So, by all means, order this machine. Good luck with your leaner look. But don't wait around for positive responses about it on this board. You'll be waiting forever.
are you kidding me? you say that I said bending your arms several times a day will make your arms leaner, and then you directly quote me by saying " 1000 times" a day. Which is a little different then " several". And its not just bending, they are contractions, if you sit there and contract your muscle a 1000 times a day, and not just bend it, your arms will be leaner. There is a difference between just doing an exercise, and actually giving it a good contraction, but I guess you already know that, because you are all knowing gymtime, and obviously a mind reader because you seem to be so sure you are right and everyone else on the board will agree with you.
Being cut has very little to do with the actual resistance training. I ask these people in the gym, why do you do 5 sets of 21's, why don't you use a normal weight? "Cause it makes your biceps ripped!" fools. The biggest factor to being cut (and being cut everywhere), is having low bodyfat. PERIOD!! (I would know, I'm skinny).
No one is saying that the stupid machine doesn't work your abs, but to think you're gonna get a chiseled cut ripped midsection from doing that crap 3 minutes a day (which is what they make you believe) is misleading and bullshit.

I have tried EMS
When my schedule changed at work and I saw that I could no lnger fit my workouts in the morning, but I'd have to do them at night when the gym is packed (which I detest), I thought I'd try Electronic Muscle Stimulation - EMS - just out of curiosity to see if it worked.
I stripped down to my underwear and laid down on a table. The attendant fit positive and negative charged pads all over me and strapped them down with elastic, then upped the current. Every pulse of electricity, which lasts about five or six seconnds, contracts your muscles for you. You can go as high as you can stand.
the pads are uncomfortable, the electricity makes it feel like little ants are crawling underneath them. They also smelled like wet mittens, sort of damp-sour. Ew.
After half an hour and twenty five bucks, My muscles sorta felt like I'd worked out but I didn't feel good about the experience. I didn't break a sweat, so I wasn't burning any fat, and I definitely didn't work as hard as I would have in the gym. It was expensive and I didn't have a sense of accomplishment.
Gymtime is right, the only thing that's gonna lean you out is cardio and a strict diet.
Speaking of diet. Isn't this thread in the wrong forum?

Thanks for the karma GT - I gave mine all out but you're on my list!
Gunz, I didn't mean any offense to you and I hope none was taken. I used the same logic as yourself and tried it out, and it was a waste of time and money... Both of which it's my intention to save you, if I can.
