I bought this elliptical and it told me otherwise. I have a ways to go.
I've never owned one before and I have a question. I notice my lower back gets very tired quick on it. Is this normal? I squat 270-300 and dead lift 325 for reps and this damn machine does that to me. I'm not hunched over I stand straight up. Maybe there are muscles in my lower back that need to build up?

Since the photos I set it at 12" instead of 18 and I use the "uprights" the simulated ski polls instead of the stationary hand grips.





My son is up to 1.5-2 hours straight on one every night. He's lost 57 pounds since February. 250 down to 193. He's doing strength too and is a specimen.
