Marcy Gym Equipment Fail!!!

Ok so I've started to build my own gym in the garage because I don't have time with work and kids to get down to a commercial gym. I bought a Marcy Incline bench which had one of those wall posters that explains all the different exercises you can do, along with diagrams on such exercises.

I'm not entirely sure what made me read through the descriptions of the exercises because i've been lifting for about ten years now but I'm glad I did as I realised i've been doing one particular exercise all wrong. Aparently, according to Marcy, the incline dumbell press works your quads!! No wonder i've not been doing well on my training!! I joke not. There is a diagramme of someone doing incline dumbell press with the caption "doing this exercise will help build and develop the quadricep muscle"!!

Has anyone else seen or read anything similar??

You should share the poster with all of us by sending a picture, so we can learn our wrongs...

It did make me laugh, but when i think about it it's quite bad. I'm assuming it's a typo allthough you never know, but there must be some people that will be using that and wondering why there legs aren't growing!!
