1. That first one sort of looks like a form of exercise.

Maybe.

2. They left off the adductor and abductor machines

The two completely useless pieces of equipment found in many gyms, and actually used in good faith by people seeking to exercise. They are completely worthless and have no value in any training. You get a better workout when you use your leg to shoo the cat away from the front door when you get home.

I also expected to see that big dildo you shake to get a workout. What was that thing? Saw it on TV a couple of times.

3. 6. Shakeweight

why are you paying for that?

4. Is that the big dildo referenced upthread?

Reminds me of this one day at the bar I used to drink at, after work, back in my drinking days.. All of a sudden this homeless guy came in the door holding a foot long purple jelly dildo. He ran through the bar laughing maniacally and waving it over his head, then left. Like, "hooohooohahahahahahaaa!!!!"

I couldn't really explain it.

5. What were his abs like?

Maybe he is ahead of his time.

6. He didn't strike me as a health nut

but, then, I was doing my barfly bit at the time, so I couldn't really talk. That 16 Oz. curl is overrated.

8. Yup, shakeweight. That's the one.
