Poast new message in this thread

Date: July 8th, 2024 8:39 PM Author: twisted insanely creepy mother native why do you need more than one cardio machine? buy an erg and call it a day. or a treadmill/bike if you're a pussy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5552399&forum_id=2#47822335) |

|
Date: July 8th, 2024 8:51 PM Author: twisted insanely creepy mother native yes you can. you use your legs for like 80%. you might as well say you "can't lift anything over 10lbs" after upper body.
unless you're body building and 1RMing until absolute exhaustion, which you aren't because then you wouldn't be asking this question (or purchasing an elliptical), you can certainly do rowing after doing upper body.
regardless, my point stands: you don't need multiple cardio machines. you should be riding a bike or jogging for cardio anyway and only using a machine when the weather is unseasonable anyway. |

Date: July 8th, 2024 9:44 PM Author: twisted insanely creepy mother native bro, reddit is the place where a bunch of hogs will tell you "an elliptical is great! i'm 300lbs and low impact is really helping my weight loss journey" and "$500 is a pretty good machine! i have one and it works great!"
xoxo is where you come for unvarnished truth. go google the home gyms of your favorite athletes and count the ellipticals. it's exclusively for fat asses who will stop using them immediately. sorry that this hurts your feelings for some reason, which is odd because you don't even have one yet.
get an erg. or a bike if you're a pussy. that's all you need.
hth. |
|
Date: July 9th, 2024 7:41 AM Author: Naked motley quadroon you dont get xo; stop pretending like you do.
if you got xo, you'd know that i'm a twink with 10.5% body fat who has worked out 6 days a week (every day but shabbos) for his entire adult life and i'm clearly not in the "fat asses who will stop using them immediately" category. |
|
Date: July 9th, 2024 3:23 PM Author: twisted insanely creepy mother native if "getting" xo means identifying different pumos i'm really glad i don't "get" xo.
you're a twink but you don't want an erg because "you can't do it after upper body?" you're done here man and you're maf about it. being a pumo was a good choice. i can't imagine getting so steamed because someone on the internet criticized ellipticals. |

Date: July 9th, 2024 12:44 PM Author: curious bearded locale dunno
just get the ones that are $5k new but cheaper used on facebook marketplace
An elliptical is kind of complicated and I would imagine could break down, I would want a solidly made one.
I just checked facebook marketplace - a nordictrack elliptical, which I assume is pretty good, goes for like $350-1000 - here is a commercial grade one for $750 https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/hab/d/atlanta-nordictrack-elliptical/7760675591.html
Ive had to take my versaclimber apart a few times for repairs that i did myself.
Also my dad bought some $100 ripoff "climbing cardio machine" after I raved about the versaclimber and it is a complete piece of crap and you feel like you are about to fall over all the time |
