I was just wondering if anyone owns or has ever owned a total gym? I just bought one for $70, I like it so far. I was just wondering what kind of results did you see. It really works your shoulders I noticed. What did you do for you routine, how often did you use it? Thanks.

p.s I had this thread in the strength and power forum but they closed my thread, I guess I had the wrong forum and if you wanna flam me F8ck you, I wanna hear from people who actually used it. What did you think?

Now we can just make fun of him here.

Actually, he's already got burned enough, I'll leave him alone.

Foz did you a favor.

The S&P guys would have ripped you a new one.

Just use it, any exercise is better than getting fatter.

why in the hell would people flame me, Whats wrong with trying to get fit? Maybe Im trying to take a different approach to it. Maybe I dont like lifting weights. I would rather work towards muscle enderence instead of getting bulked up and if someone wants to flame me then wtf ever. Im just wondering Who owns one and what type of results did you get? And I dont think they are junk, thats your opinion bud.

My girlfriend's Mom owns one. I tried it a few times and found it somewhat awkward and unnatural to use however I think with time I would get used to the movements. It's better than nothing but for the price you could buy free weights, a bench and a power rack which would be more versatile and (IMO) more beneficial.

If you want to work on endurance and not max strength you can just use less weight, higher reps and do complexes or check out rosstraining.com for more ideas. Also, if you think you are just magically going to "bulk up" from lifting heavy weights you need to do more research.

Finally, telling people to "f8ck off" in your first post isn't going to convince people to give you useful responses.

My mom owns one. As my dad would say, "it's as worthless as tits on a boar hog!"

A Total Gym will not give you strength or power and hence it should not have been in a Strength and Power forum. Mmkay pumpkin?

The Total Gym gets stronger when Chuck Norris uses it.

If only stupidity were a good excuse to commit murder
