For anyone wondering the real reason why you don't want to rest your hands-on the handles is because you burn a lot less calorie to that way since you don't have to support your whole bodyweight. Hope that clears things up.

I tried this yesterday. Went from doing good for 15 minutes on 7 to almost dying after 3 minutes on 7.

It honestly just feels cool to not use your hands

“If I touch the handles I’m weak”

Me: high knees on the stair master begging for air and falling to my death

[Wojtek_-ozmt]

I tried the stair master once and I was constantly looking down to make sure I didn't trip on the step folding out. If they were just a few stairs bigger, I'd be fine, but you have to stay exactly in the middle or you fall on your arse.

Thanks but I don't want to fall off, the handles give me a good idea of when I'm starting to fall behind

Resting your hands/arms on the machine makes it significantly easier.

I'm touching the handles bc I'm old, and sometimes exhausted, and definitely clumsy!

[georgemartinez]

Stair master is the best, I tried telling my friend to stop putting all his weight into the damn handles and luckily he listens now.

[chaosembodiment]

Same. I'm like "it'z too easy with handles" and it's poor form. Left foot right hand, right foot left hand, STEP!

When I put it at 15 on the speed I gotta hold the handles I do it for 2 minutes straight. Take 30 second brake an repeat for at least 3-6 sets on Leg day. Then go to the bike afterwards for about 10-15 minutes

[richturteil]

The stair master is the hardest of the cardio Machines change my mind

[toddpreisler]

I haven't touched the handles in years, unless I'm climbing backwards then I grab one...

[Arcteus]

Ive been telling people this for years. No one realizes how much of a training wheel it is to rest your body on the handles. Almost defeats the purpose if you can do them without the handles.
