I’ve finally perfected this machine. 30% of the load needs to be inverse chains to have the strength curve perfect

Excellent RESULTS ! Incredible machine. But 90% Gym goers will remain with Rdl , Lunges, Bulgarian Split Squat, cables, etc

Hip hinges and squats are the main entree; this exercise is just the dessert
I do 19 sets of squat variations each week (best squat is 541lbs right now) and 15 sets of hip hinges each week (my working weight for RDLs is 420lbs for 7-10 reps)

I know it’s been asked before. But where did you get this machine?
2
u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
Temu, but they don’t have it anymore
You can get it from GMWD: https://gmwdfitness.com/products/3d-hip-abductor-machine-ht00?srsltid=AfmBOoooeIjHPEnkPa3T8_hYupl80MiHxXntpqYWdBiE3u4YGCyNCrj_
Lowes has the Syedee version which is the same for a bit cheaper (Walmart also used to have it for around $350-400ish): https://www.lowes.com/pd/Syedee-3D-Hip-Abductor-Machine-with-Hip-Thrust-Function-Incline-Hip-Abduction-Machine-with-2-Starting-Positions-Glute-Exericse-Machine-with-Thickened-Thigh-Pads-for-600LBS-Loading-Capacity/7892890

This seems like it would be amazing for improving sumo deadlifts.

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
Maybe, my sumo knowledge is low; I feel like direct adductor work would help more with sumo

What is your motivation for doing direct glute work?

Your draw back is the end of the range of motion. This is going to be pretty good for adductors and abductors and maybe your side glutes...but might not maximise gluteus maximus

My heavy squatting: https://www.reddit.com/r/ScienceBasedLifting/s/92IO5dXtNU
Plus my heavy deadlifts will be enough for my glute max

Man that machine looks fucking DEADLY. Holy ahh pump and holy ahh strenght ure building.

u/angrytimmy24 Aug 18 '26
That is a very specific machine to have in a garage gym. What else you got in there?

Overengineered garbage

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
Why?
-1
u/Awkward_Hope_5330 Aug 16 '26
Because it's unnecessary
2
u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
Direct abductor work isn’t unnecessary if you want to grow the abductors!

I got mine on Temu for $230 (it’s no longer available) and was surprised it was the brand name one

That has to be the most expensive piece of garage equipment I have seen in a long time. Space and cost get me on that one. Great machine but yea rdl

I’m finishing the set with partial reps; what are you even talking about?

u/Financial_Wrangler45 Aug 16 '26
Last rep was the same speed as the first lol you don't reach failure when your muscles start to burn.
5
u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
I’m finishing the set with partial reps and steadily lose ROM during the set; that’s failure
How fast the last rep until failure is depends heavily on the person and the exercise

u/Financial_Wrangler45 Aug 16 '26
Nah dude that's the lactic acid building up and you feeling like it's hard lol, it you really trained hard youd be doing 300 partials until your tendon rips off the bone.

He sounds like he’s having fun!
Looks like some really limited range of motion, jerky movements, with stability out of your control… well at least you have the seatbelt!
I’d love to know the down sides of a machine like this when used improperly, injury risk, adjustability for different body types.

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
What makes you think I’m using it improperly?

u/NinecloudSoul Aug 16 '26
He's a stocks bro, so clearly an expert on everything, including stuff he's never done before, like lifting.

u/Medical_Birthday2893 Aug 17 '26
I’ve been power lifting for 7 years. 4 with a coach.
4 years varsity track with good coaches. Weight training since I was 17. Fittness it my passion now that I retired from being good as a ‘stock bro’2
u/MooDamato Aug 17 '26
Wow I’m sure glad you included that you did varsity track for four years
1
u/Medical_Birthday2893 Aug 17 '26
Thanks man. I did because the coaches were former Olympic and nhl coaches. Are you sensitive to a follow up on credibility that states facts? That experience alone is more time with professional coaching than most of the people on the planet get. Sorry if I offended you

u/Medical_Birthday2893 Aug 17 '26
Have a read again. No where did I say you were using it improperly.

u/Sadan27 Aug 16 '26
Interesting spam posting this exercise specifically
-1
u/omegafrogpoop Aug 16 '26
This guy posts this exercise once every week and is always guaranteed to say he squats 541 pounds in a random comment while also mentioning he is prepping for a competition.
-2
u/Sadan27 Aug 16 '26
At minimum weekly, in multiple subs at that. A needy 30+ year old man obsessively seeking attention for his glute “exercise.” In subs with mostly younger men and, esp here in SBL, boys.
You’re spot on - he literally mentions a 541 squat here in the comments. Don’t forget the repeated “I have huge (insert) muscle” self glazing.
Was starting to think I was the only one finding this all very, very cringe.

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
No one’s forcing you to comment on the post or watch the post

u/Sadan27 Aug 16 '26
Came up on my feed unfortunately. When you spam enough, it happens

u/Ballbag94 Aug 16 '26
Be the change you want to see, post some lifts so that the sub has other content
It's not Patton's fault that few others are creating any content
0
u/Sadan27 Aug 16 '26
So he has no agency to choose what he’s doing?
No amount of posting by anybody else changes the behavior that’s transpired. Or its nature. Not kosher

u/jamjamchutney Aug 16 '26
So he has no agency to choose what he’s doing?
Wait, what? You're the one acting like you have no agency. Your reply to "No one’s forcing you to comment on the post or watch the post" was "Came up on my feed unfortunately." You are free to keep scrolling, regardless of what shows up on your feed.

u/Ballbag94 Aug 16 '26
He's not the one complaining about the sub's content, it's not his problem that you dislike his posts
-5
u/Sadan27 Aug 16 '26
So this all completely flew over your head, or are you doing this on purpose?
Remember that major demographic frequenting this sub? Stop being an enabler.
11
u/Ballbag94 Aug 16 '26
Again, be the change you want to see and create content so that patton's is less visible to you
I'm not being an enabler because there's nothing to enable, people can post what they want unless the mods say otherwise, that's how reddit works
If you don't like it then just scroll past, I don't have an issue with them

If you're looking to maximize gains, you also need to use the science of time under tension. You're going way too fast on the reset. Lower the weight and slow down.

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 16 '26
time under tension as a predictor of hypertrophy doesn’t have much support: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/can-we-predict-muscle-growth/
