It was manufactured by a famous brand and man at the time and I never gave it a second thought I was closing in on a smashed head or throat, or much worst.
This was the type of bench that allowed you to also do weighted leg curls. Keep in mind, I also moved very quickly even when using weights. I was using the bench for maybe two or three weeks and just finished doing my leg curls when all hell broke lose, literally.
Suddenly, as I was just moving under the 175 lb. bar bell, I heard a snap and felt myself and the entire bench, weights and all come tumbeling down.
After my heart quit pounding, and I checked my shorts, I realized what had just happened. That punk must of tried to kill me. ( Just Kidding, I think )
I examined the bench and discovered the welds had broken seconds before my bench press routine.
In hindsite maybe I should have contacted the manufacturer just in case this was a manufacturing defect but I was so grateful to be in one piece, I let it go.
I swore off weights ever since but I needed an effective way to continue my workout and that is how I came up with the idea of emmulating the resistance equipment I used at Bally’s and would rather be using anyway.
This is way before I owned a computer, so everything I needed had to be found the old fasion way with the yellow pages and telephone.
What I came up with was crude, simple and surprisingly just as effective as those monstrosities I was using at the health club.
I have since revised it and you can perform dozens of very effective exercises with the ability to work all the muscle groups and change the resistance very easily and get the precise movement for excellent results.
I also had to design it so I could fluidly and uninteruptedly move between each exercise to keep the blood flowing from head to toe as my routines moved from head to toe. ( this also gives one muscle group a chance to recover as you do another group )
Well, here I am at the ripe old age of 52 and have no intentions of ever quitting, since I look forward to how it makes me feel and look, especially now with all the research pointing towards the tremendous benefits of exercise and strength training and the spooky diseases that can befall anyone that is not including some sort of exercise into their lifestyles, even at a young age.
If your at all like me, your not a mad scientist hiding out in your basement trying to invent the next big fitness or weightloss breakthrough. Either by divine intervention or pure Irish luck, I and you can get and stay fit without renting a forklift to get the next ausome piece of equipment in the building. Or better yet, they advertise, you only have to pay as little as $14.00 a month. They don’t tell you for how many months or what the shipping cost are.
I’m not knocking these guys at all, because Bow Flex and that Chuck Norris thing look like they will provide the results, I just believe in K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid ). It’s simple, not stupid though, and it is very, very effective.
Oh, and by the way, everything is made in AMERICA by AMERICANS. I don’t know if this is important to you, ( I bet it is ) but it is to me and some of it is made by my own American hands. I still have a network of very talented people that just so happen to understand this philosophy and I’m standing on their chests to keep the cost down so I can give you as much as possible at a decent price.
If this sounds like something that can benefit you, http://www.WorkoutBandit.com might just be what you have been looking for and it can keep your weight under control while finally getting the healthy attractive physique you’ve always hoped for.
