Hey /fit/
I've been developing new revolutionary home gym equipment, I've had a prototype built and looking to expand by getting this into all gyms.
I call it the tank because it makes me look like a tank, I'm a pretty ripped guy and found this worked me more than barbells and dumbells.
Tell me what you think
What happens if you can't complete the rep and need to release the weight?
>>27539261
the next tsunami barbell
>>27539278
I'm so glad you asked, there is an emergency procedure to follow if you are in any danger
>>27539278
You fall on your back and die.
>>27539322
Check out my videos before you judge
http://www.iicrew.com/home-gym-equipment-videos/
>>27539301
And?..
>>27539389
You are able to remove the device safely with a little strain on your back
>>27539412
While your doing push ups? Are you retarded? And you are fully awere that your going to completly destroy your elbows when you lock em like that! Either i fell for a troll or...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX7knEwBY5k
What the fuck OP?
>>27539431
The push up stand is included in the purchase, you will be strengthening your elbows and arm bones
>>27539412
>>27539431
>>27539438
Hah, your legs have failed tho, going into a push up position would fucking blow, youd be relying on your arms to support you. So its like a bridge, but with locked elbows, supporting 150+ or w/e that thing holds
Ouch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsR3XTerBjU
I hope you didn't waste too much money on this.
>>27539465
I can hear the elbows poping out of sockets! "Oh fuck my back!! Let me just do some push ups to get out of this thing!"
>>27539438
This is the emergency procedure,
>>27539465
No you need to be using your back to support the weight, I'm a personal trainer so I know what I'm on about
>>27539510
Posting in a troll thread
>>27539494
Each device is £1500, it completely eliminates the need for unnecessary gym equipment
>>27539518
I don't think people invest thousands of £ into crazy gym equipment just to troll. This is entrepreneurship gone wrong.
>>27539494
you're forgetting the pad for your fanny you nancy. It looks like a fucking strapon
>>27539532
£1500 just to do weighted bodyweight exercises. I can't tell you how crazy this is.
>>27539539
No, I mean that OP is not the person in the youtube videos.
>>27539557
At that price you can get an actual home gym.
>>27539557
Not bodyweight exercises as the device allows you to add on more weight
>>27539560
I thought that was unlikely since the videos only have a few views each, but maybe.
>>27539565
This is better than a home gym, the possibilities are endless
>>27539586
>Unnecessary gym equipment
>Trust me I'm a personal trainer
People don't accidentally press /fit/'s buttons that well
I love the youtube vids where it looks like you are a human tank lol! Someone needs to add some special effects to those videos haha
>>27539588
About as endless as that weight the guy in the video has got strapped to that thing.
Jesus Christ what are you thinking?
Do you have any idea what this will do to your center of gravity and by proxy what it will do to your lower back?
If you want to do weighted push ups then get a backpack and fill it up with plates, it's safer and cheaper.
>>27539644
No I don't recommend that because it wont be as effective as my device
This is so stupid I thought it was a joke.
I CAME HERE FROM B/ I DID NOT EXPECT MORE TROLLES!!
>>27539675
What would the joke be? I have a great product that will eliminate other fitness equipment
>>27539688
Its like a parody of the most retarded exercise device possible.
Oh my god have you checked out his Youtube channel is this guy actually serious
>>27539728

>>27539733
It's all over the thread.
>>27539740

my god OP, you'll be forever known as 'tank man; kek
someone has to edit this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX7knEwBY5k
>>27539261
Not just the concept, but the video editing.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR9Zq1L6my8
This is fucking hilarious.
So cringe thread, I guess?
>>27539728
I don't understand why this is not being taken seriously, what about my device do you not understand?
>>2753980
why is your device better than any of the alternatives everyone has used before?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SYBFcdY_t8
Top kek
It looks unsafe
Too expensive
Cant handle heavy weights
The weights are all put on your lower back, it pulls you forward
Cumbersome
I.. dont get it, Im sorry.
Guess this sometimes happens to inventors, they invent but everything cant make it. Good try, now try out something different.
Please dont invest any more money into this. It will not be an item used by anyone seriously doing exercise, maybe some would be bought by dummies that dont know any better.
have a good day
fucking lmao
The only good thing about this device is that fat people can't use it.
>>27539859
>Well, that was shit. You want to do another take?
>tank man ain't doin no second tries bitch

what actual science do you have behind this? how can you prove this is more effective? Can you prove this is safe? Are you ready for potential injury lawsuits?
It's his life, let him do what he wants. Y'all aint the ones who'll be humiliated for life if this tanks
I wear this out of the house and get frequent compliments on the intelligence of the device
>>27539261
thanks OP, I'm crying out of laughter
>>27539557
he only really needs 1 retard to buy it though.
>>27541448
I bet it cost a lot more than £1500 to develop. Even though it's a stupid invention, it looks quite well made.
>>27541488
It's not stupid, it's really good, I bought one a while back and it's fantastic
>>27539438
WTF LOL BRO
BRO WTF
> sides are in orbit
I havent laughed so hard in ever
We need someone with some serious shooping skills, tankman could be the hero /fit/ needs
>>27539261
Unless I'm crazy, it looks like a copy of the Powerpohl. And that one has way better applications.
Sorry, it isn't that original or revolutionary, also, less resistance.
But it's prettier.
>>27542564
And the Powerpohl is way cheaper, just $300.
Sorry, if I ever buy one, no contest on which one I'm choosing.

>>27539438
I wonder if it's his wife doing the voice in the videos?
>>27545023
So? Did he needed to hire somebody just to hold some shitty camera?
I was just about to start drinking and crying over my ex, INSTEAD I'm enjoying tears from the luls. Thanks OP maybe I won't kill myself today.
Posting in epic thread
>>27545772
I just find it funny to imagine his wife going along with this retarded invention he probably invested the family savings in.
My idea is not retarded
>>27547076
At least you tried bud.
So did this retard not realize that other people had already made more ergonomic, and higher quality weight vests than him?
>That moment when you realise this is real.
I'm crying and I don't feel sad in the slightest.
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time!
>>27547159

Also I feel kind of sorry for the wife. Pretty obvious the husband is some loser who "works from home" trying to make the next big invention while the wife supports the family.
>>27547546
I hate it when you sneeze half way down the rep and have to go back up again

before i was like aww leave the nice inventor man alone, but he's preaching that doing this shit is more safe....
>>27548586
Besides that, he fully extends his arm when going up, taking all the tension and placing it on his joint
>>27548660
extending the arm is dangerous now? guess I should stop benching
The funnies thing about this is that it is true and it's not a troll....this is one of the best days on fit....TANK MAN HAS BEEN BORN !

sorry man, but it is. It really, really is. It also looks unsafe as fuck, much more so than barbells. You need to move on.
>>27548884
At the beginning you won't have problems but you will get really bad joint pain at higher weights. It's basic anatomy: during the lift tension is distributed through the muscles but at full extension the joints take all the weight. One way ticket to snap city. Benching is fine just don't lock out.

Hey OP don't believe what others say !
I like your device and I would very much like to purchase one as soon as it is for sale.
I'm sure a lot of people think like me this is truly remarkable and I think it will revolutionize the whole fitness industry.
You might even put some gyms out of work.
I sure would rather doing push ups and squatting with you lovely device instead of using those damn unsafe and uncomfortable barbells.

Sure.
Anyways can we get this archived this is ridiculous
OP how do I contact you about buying one of these fine pieces of equipment
>>27539261
OP I am too an inventor and a fitness entrepreneur but as far as I see I think my device is superior to yours.
It involves a "special"barbell and some other "special"equipment which you can purchase from my website which is still in development for the price of 2000 and it comes with everything in the photo.
I know it's a little more but it is the safest invention yet i guarantee it on my fitness enterpreneurness .

>>27549888
about fucking elephant, i think..
Dear OP, if you are still here, do not give a shit about ANYTHING said to you in this thread, this is /fit/, /fit/ is not a board where you actually talk about fitness, it is a board of self-centered bigots that think they know EVERYTHING there is to know on this world, whatever you ask them, they will have an opinion on, and you will not be able to change it. Keep up with your work, I personally don't think it is worth the price, for that price, you could get ALOT of shit, lower the price down, put it on one of those TV channels where people sell shit like the shamwow or some shit, or try some other way.
Why the fuck is my name in this piece of shit? What does Alec stand for?
>>27550004
are you kidding me you dense motherfucker? did you even watch his retarded emergency procedure video? shit is fucking unsafe, his idea is retarded, and if some dumbass was stupid enough to actually buy this piece of shit there's a pretty good chance they'll injure themselves if they ever make it to any kind of serious weight with it.

>>27539666
>666
OP is satan
OP 1500 quid for a weight vest is pretty insane, but I guess if you market it well it could go somewhere. Maybe add some wheels on the back so you can do wall squats
A moveable, solid arm system with ajustable resistancr would be fucking jazz for handstand and planche assistance. Just find a way to distribute the weight so you dont tobble over and it doesn't look like you have kind ascended lightweight extreme chode (ALEC)
>>27548244
i'm sending it to elgin, i welcome others to do the same
>>27547365
Get a weight belt then
Or a fucking barbell with bumper plates
>>27550561
>Just find a way to distribute the weight
You seem to understand how our product works. The weight is designed to isolate of the front side of the torso to provide quick and easy 6-pack abs.
>>27551072
>6 pack abs
Tank man, you need to leave.
>>27551072
Tankbrah cannot be stopped. He has deployed "quick and easy 6 pack abs". Are you a bad enough dude to stop him?
>>27549153
Bro...£1500=$2570 in USD (Exchange rate 11Jul14.) $1500 is stupid expensive. $2500 is "what the fuck is wrong with you" expensive.
However, this guy could make a killing selling this stupid shit in Skymall.
This is quite possibly the best /fit/ humor thread I've ever seen.
>>27551072
Show me your quick & easy abs. I want to see them. Does it come in the right fitting for a gentleman of... ample size? Of course I believe your credible claims about spot fat removal (which totally completely really definitely does really exist for certain sure) but I wish to see your stunning results for myself so that I may know that my investment is sound.

What would the verb of using this equipment be? to tank?
"hey guys cant come out tonight, been tanking all day and i need some rest for my gainz"
>>27539261
isnt this less safe than a back squat as it forces a forward lean making a rounding of the back more likely?
lets assume youre going to back squat something like 4 pl8...no way in hell that your core could handle that forward pulling force
I don't even know what to say, I just had to be part of this legendary thread
>>27553215
same
this is good. this is a good thread.
OP, besides any personal reservations about your product, you have to take into account the fact that a lot of people who lift already have bad posture and subsequent back pains/problems (read the fucking sticky guys).
Translated into business jargon, the market share of people who would actually put their core and back under such a strain is pretty limited (see: casuals).
Also, do I really wanna wear some sweat-infused smelly jacket thing when I'm lifting? You know, when the fabric is actually dyed yellow and smells like putrid urea?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX7knEwBY5k
>>27541048
I'd like to order doubles, please.
Brah if this isn't a troll, then I would suggest you cut your losses and start over again with a different and more applicable piece of weightlifting equipment.
>>27551072
I think if you somehow managed to drop the price and made it use Olympic plates it would be better. I reckon that the majority of the price is coming from the plates? You've got a good prototype but it needs a lot more work. Good job so far though man, I'm sure you'll find success.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Tank man is not in this thread guys. I can't believe how badly you've been trolled.
>>27556526
He was.

Divinely inspired
>>27556531
He's not. The irony is that the troll pretending to be the inventor is actually more polite than the actual guy.
>>27556531
He posted a video addressing complaints he got on YouTube, not /fit/. He even questioned the age of the people commenting on his videos.
If this dude was Tank Man then I think he'd be able to make the link between the links being posted on /fit/ and the Youtube comments.
Someone's found the vid, posted them here and pretended to be the guy.
