The Chinese translated instructions say: "horse training machine" and "word horse" cross auxiliary special equipment. I immediately FELT the groin stretch - it felt excellent. This is the opposite of doing squats. Working squat muscles TIGHTENS the adductors. So I think this will be the perfect balance to increasing squat strength. ...And clearly in China this machine is considered part of Horse Stance training for martial arts! Wild.
When I search this I get:
The stretching wonder, the split horse trainer, stretches the leg and ligaments
When I search "stretching wonder" I get female vibrator products. hahaha. When I search "split horse trainer" I get:
MIYAUP-One Character Horse Trainer, Open Stretch, Ligament Leg Splitting Device, Yoga Dance, Cross Fork, Fitness Equipment
Horse Trainer Ligament Stretching Tendon Leg Split Hip Opening Split Leg Stretch Pilates Fitness Equipment
and
Cross-shaped Horse Stretching Trainer Leg Stretcher 3 Bar Leg Split Stretching Machine Flexibility Stretching Equipment
so one of the vids said to do this twice a week only so that your nerves and tendons can recover and muscles - makes sense to me. He said often people think they need to do it every night to stay flexible but in fact that is not true. Recovery time is crucial.
One-word horse trainer, hip splitting ligament stretching assist slimming device
I don't know what the "one-word" means or refers to - anyone?
Maybe if I use googletranslate on the Mandarin I'll get a better translation?
I guess it only opens to 210 degrees? Not 180 degrees.... Fascinating.
Still that's good enough for me - it will be a long time before I reach that.
Oh it also translates as "one-line horse trainer" - that kind of makes sense.
Nope mine definitely goes beyond 180 degrees - so backwards bending splits if that was ever possible! Wow.
