So im at the mall today and there is one of those guys doing a live demonstration for some Magnetic shoe insole inserts, So I walk by looking at these things on the ground then he asks me if he can have a couple minutes of my time to show me his product. I say ok so he has me put my arms hands crossed straight forward eye level then he presses down on my hands trying to make them go down and make me fall back. Blah nothing he can't budge me i start laughing in my head.

Then he tells me to step on the shoe inserts same thing nothing, asks me if i felt a difference i said no. So then he asks me to try his demonstration on some guy thats in his 40's maybe 180lbs. . Guy steps up puts his arms out I press on his hands he go's down like a light switch, ok next he steps on the insoles same thing only this time i torture the guy by not pressing his hands down so hard he starts grimacing in pain so i folded him down real quick before he dislocated his shoulder. I just up and left and told the guy good luck with that. The whole test was really just based on front delt strength.

Point of the story is just, it's fun to be strong and debunk a crap product in front of a little crowd, although these things might feel good on your feet he picked the wrong person to help showcase junk.

This is what im talking about btw Nikken - Magnetic Technology

LMAO, Something like that happened at my mall a few weeks back. A guy was doing a demonstration of a Bowflex-type device and he's like "YOU! Yes, you. You seem like a strapping young lad...Care to give this a try?" (All the while I'm laughing in my head because this guy sounds like a 1950's sales' man) so I get on there and he's like "What's your name son?" I say "Don't worry about it (really hostile sounding)" and he hits me with "You ever work out before?" I lie and say no. So I got this guy thinking he's leading the lamb to the slaugher. He puts a bar on and says "Can you bench this for me? Benching is when you push the bar straight up from your chest until your elbows are almost fully extended and repeat" there's like 100lbs on the bar. I do it like 20 times, get up and say "that wasn't much of a workout...got anything heavier?" He thinks he's being really slick and puts 200lbs on it. I do it like 15 times and stand up. "Still too light. I'm not convinced yet...got any more?" So by this time the guy can't figure it out and he puts all the weight (about 320lbs) on the bar. I sit down and do it like 15 times, get up and say Well, if that's all you got, then I wouldnt buy this in a million years" As I walk away the whole crowd that started to gather leaves and I'm sure this guy got no sales that day.
