this forum is becoming a complete drag of people with their condescending views and refusal to help without trying to belittle people's idea's.
lets see, chest expanders, resistance, yes, work a muscle group, yes, whats wrong with that? most efficient way to gain muscle mass, no, so what, maybe he hasn't the room for freeweights, maybe he's got an injury to a specific muscle/area and chest expander will help him target that one area when freeweights would offer a lot more danger of repeat or worsening injury. There are many reasons for using specific equipment for targeting a specific area and being a tit without knowing why he wants to use one is just that, being a tit.
Why not if you know the answer to his question, tell him the answer and thats it. If you don't know don't post.
The attitude to anyone on these forums who doesn't come in and ask what the best bench/weights set is for doing squats is awful to be honest. Likewise the attitude to anything that a core group of users feels isn't for them.
Its simple my opinion is chest expanders aren't particularly useful and I'd perfer to do other exercises for chest developement, but I can recognise there are other reasons for targeting one muscle group and various reasons they can be of great use so I didn't jump in this thread with the intention of belittling the guy, maybe this forum would be less irritating and more helpful if you at least tried to consider the possible reasons why he might be asking before deciding you want to show him up.
