Is this just their legs getting more defined, or is the stairmaster building muscles too?

It's a legit machine.
It's also legitimately expensive.
it's not for home gyms
It's for anyone that can pay it, be it a home or a gym.
If you’re a homosexual, sure. I go into someone’s house and see a fricking stairmaster I’m turning 360° and leaving
just walk up some stairs or go hiking. does the same thing
I don't have access to the empire state building. I do 100+ flights of stairs on the machine.
Protip: you don't need a very tall building, just climb the stairs of a short building over and over again.
Hope this helps you, moronbro

>dude, you don't need a treadmill just do laps in your living room
Yes.
Yes
Yes of course. Treadmills, stationary bikes and stairmills all have specific advantages over the real thing in that you can perform your workout in a perfectly controlled environment. They're very useful when you want to stay in zone 2 (i.e. low intensity aerobic activity below lactate threshold 1) and also for controlled interval training. In the case of the bike, especially, a machine allows you to perform at a constant pace without having to start and stop for traffic, etc. The advantage of the stairmill, in addition to all of this is that it allows you to train your hiking endurance without having to punish your knees on the descent. At any rate, that's the reason I would want to have one.
Grab the heaviest medicine ball at your gym and get to work Sisyphus
my gym has a sandbag that i use on the stairs. sometimes people ask if im a firefighter. mostly gay old men.
are you a cowboy hehe giddy up pardner ohohooohohooo
that a thing or just a sick reference to some excellent mythology
If you don't hold onto the railings, the stabilizer muscles in your legs will get strongly activated which can fill in gaps in a person's physique and make their legs pop. Another based leg exercise is walking backwards on the treadmill.
I see all the zoomers walk backwards. Why?
Kneesovertoes guy.
Try it, you feel it in your glutes, abductors and calves.
They want girl butts so the can wear the leggings and be extra gay.
There's only a few people at my gym who wear masks and they all do the backward treadmill walk. I just assumed it doesn't accomplish anything but makes you feel like you're doing something.
it's for the knees you uneducated cuck
Turn off the treadmill for extra muscles
Can't you just walk stairs?
get a stepstool and use that, just keep going up and down it, you get more benefits doing it that way actually, better for your tendons as you step down
how is that thing so different from that machine? doesn't seem as hard
I'll let a surgeon turned longevity doctor and one of the most renowned people on human movement explain why stepping down, especially correctly, is good for you.
Yeah that seems pretty thorough. I just thought of going up and down the stool like an idiot.
Sometimes I go 110 floors because that's how high the WTC was. It is definitely legit. It's fricking torture. Kinda fun to outlast people on it.
>tfw live in a country with endless natural stairmasters
have fun ruining your knees coming down

Luv ellipticals, 'ate stairmasters.
Simple as.
ellipticals are easy to cheat on
It's just cardio. If my heartrate is up, it's working.
Cranking up the resistance to pretend that it's helping with strength gains is moronic.
>It's just cardio. If my heartrate is up, it's working.
Eh, no. The point of cardio is to train the muscles to become more efficient at performing a specific type of work. You can do 20 hours of cycling per week but it won't make you an elite runner, because you are using different muscles, and the ones which are used in both activities are used differently. There is some fitness carryover, but not a ton. That's why the elliptical is so moronic: you're literally training your muscles to perform a type of work that is totally unique to the elliptical and never performed in real life.
you've never been on an elliptical with high resistance. It's far easier to use your legs for most of the movement because as you use your arms you realize that you tire out so much faster.
If you're using a resistance that is tough for your legs, it's going to be impossible for your arms to take over.
I work part time at a delivery service for drinks, like waterboxes, beer boxes and so on. Each box weights around 10-15kg and my costumers mostly live in the 3rd or 4th floor (EG, 1, 2, 3, 4) and they order around 10-20 boxes each.
I carry two boxes at once and do it 5 to 10 times per costumer (14-21 costumers per day).
That way, I walk up 100-150 floors a day with up to 20-30kg. I do it 2x a week as a cardio workout. I got faster at running, my legs, butt are forearms are thicker and I feel stronger overall.
I also get paid
This is the the most difficult single piece of machinery at the gym. 90% of people i see on it cant even do it properly. Always leaning on it, cheating. Only absolute chads can do this machine right.
real men use the stairmaster
