The machine that sits in the corner of the upstairs bit of sugden that counts for people stretching and doing ab work. Arrrrrggggghhhh. 1......2.....3......4......5.....one day someone will snap.

Even more strange is the amount of people that use the f**king thing. Can't people count anymore?

You see I think every commercial gym needs at least two smith machines. It's one of the surefire ways to keep the squat racks free....

In Sugden it would be the hammer strength shoulder press.. it takes up what would be a lovely deadlifting area and is useless. There are plenty of other crap machines in the gym but nothing so crap in the free weights area.

they should get rid of the the shoulder press, the leg press and the smith machine and place another couple of power racks/ squat racks in there next to the squat rack and then have all the other side free for dead lifting

that would be am immense gym

You're a genius.

I'm with Olly - I used to love the pullover machine that Old Sugden had. There's no one machine I really dislike, but I'd like to see that Hammer chest press thing in the Sugden designated as a permanent, official deadlifter's throne.
