How are they getting this ripped off of 10lbs?!?!?!

and why does it have to be P.I.N.K.?!?!?!? Ugh stupid

I'm thinking they aren't.  I highly doubt the models actually use that program.

Yeah the bar holds a max of 20lbs.  I reckon for a real super new weight lifter that would be enough but using 20lbs for squats is just silly!!! ...at least for me that i

They're getting ripped because obviously that bar has superpowers that turn them into wonderwomen. 

Duh.

 oh I missed that part of the advertisement! haha

it just bothers me that it's called P.I.N.K. and aimed at women, I mean I loves me some pink but that's just foul!!!

wow...  that's so lame.  i could totally see my mom blowing $100 on it though.  a lot of women buy stuff just because it's marketed toward women.  people don't do enough research before they buy stuff, especially exercise crap.  i bet they already sold a ton of those things.

The most depressing thing is looking at their FAQ which actually makes sense.

 You just know that the whole set is 20lbs because the marketing and accounting department came in and said "that's the limit for how much the set can weight before we stop making an obscene profit". Or worse, "before we have to raise the price to a price point where we'll get fewer units sold. We realise this makes it useless in a fitness context, but frankly, we don't care."

 Same thing we saw with Michelle Khai and the Kball where Gaiam took a useful exercise tool and turned it into a toy with an exercise video with endless sets of exercises you might as well perform with a wet towel.

 They're a ICON company which also owns Weider, Reebok, and Nordictrak so you'd think they'd know better than to sell crap like this, but apparently they economic downturn has made them move into the Gaiam space of selling junk exercise equipment for 39.95+membership in a monthly club they can charge you for forever.

 And none of it will help you any more than making up your own program of basic bodyweight calisthenics will, because their exercise equipment isn't enough of a challenge to your body to pose a training stimuli over and above what your bodyweight does.

 *sigh*

I shouldn't be surprised that money talks louder than integrity to enough people that we'll still be seeing this crap from now until doomsday.

I can't believe they are serious...

And yes, most of the FAQ makes sense, except for this

When will I see results?

Within days. Seriously. After the first week, you should have lost between 1-4 inches. Same thing during week two

Yep. 2-8 inches within 2 weeks of lifting a 25 lb fully loaded barbell. Apparently those of us doing NROLFW are idiots, should have switches to this magic program instead. *sigh*

No, seriously, they refer to this as "weightlifting" and "Lifting heavy weights"! We'll soon get to the point when women all know they need to lift heavy, but instead of actually switching to heavy weights, they'll just rename Barbie weights into "heavy weights for women".

Yeah - that was the one FAQ that stuck out to me. 1-4 inches?

Maybe if you go from a crap-tastic diet to a clean diet, and from zero activity to this? And how are they counting inches? Is that 1-4 inches from your stomach? Or if you add up all the different parts of you that have reduced in size, it would total 1 inch.

I could measure each arm in 5 different places, and if I lose .1 from each of them I've lost an inch total.

 Well, you could probably see that if you did the tailor measurements from neck, arms, waist, natural waist, bellybutton, hips, thighs and calves.

 Blah.
