Power Plate Vibrating Exercise Machines

[RJ442]

I searched these forums and the web in general and couldn't find any testimonials as to the effectiveness of of vibrating exercise machines such as Power Plate, or whether they have any bodybuilding or power applications. It sounded like another bogus abdominizer type of thing to me until I read that the concept comes out of the Russian space/sports programs and that they seem to think it has some value. If anyone has any experiences to report with them I'd appreciate hearing about it.

read a workout of Vernon Davis and he uses it when training. I think its more of a strength/power thing than bodybuilding. Basically forces your muscles to try and stablize thus working them

My opinion is that the Power plate is a bullsh*t waste of money. Just my opinion.
