Hi
I'm no longer going to use machines to work out; goodlife fitness never mentioned Anything about stabalizer muscles.
Are stabalizer muscles REALLY that important? well w/e freeweights it is.
anyways, question: Can I still use the abdominal crunch machine? It's a god-send for getting abs, it's fucking amazing, and I really don't want to have to find a free weight alternative to it.

disregard hideous bitch.

Uhh... yes? Machines don't *un*exercise the muscles they don't recruit, you know.

If you're wanting to look bigger, stabilizing muscles are very important. You will get bigger using dumbells rather than bench pressing with a bar.

You're asking if you can still use the machine, like it's going to do something bad to you. It won't.

Still a machine man. Do some weighted leg raises, those are solid.

But yeah, there are many many was to work your abs, not just fucking crunches

but using a machine for biceps and stuff is bad right? it doesn't create stabalizer muscles
are there even stabalizer muscles you need to worry about for the abs?

if you have no stabalizers in a bicep and a ripped bicep, you try to pick something up, I hear you could snap or severely damage the bone/joints
if that's true, then not having stabalizers for my abs would lead to me breaking my back, stupid logic, I know, but I want to be sure I'm not doing aything wrong by bulking on a ab machine thing.

Before I had a membership I was doing leg ups or something like that, I had no idea what they were, I thought I had invented them.
is there something actually wrong with using a machine for your abs?

Does anyone know where I can read up on stabalizer muscles.. that would help so much, the entire thing just confuses the fuck out of me.
