Now that is one of the dumbest thngs I have seen in a few days..

[BigJames]

That...I have no words...

[needmorestrength]

Im sorry but Id have to run over and kick the ball.... maybe im just evil

[31uniform]

injury waiting to happen!

[Big Poppa Pump]

I hope that guy breaks both ankles, and in the process falls backwards and drops the bar on his trainers head.

[Red Ketchup]

Silliest thing I've seen in a while!

And the point to standing on a ball while doing squats is????? Wait... I know this!!! Making 110% sure your form is completely off? Looking more like an idiot in the gym? Ensuring you'll kill yourself when the ball flies out from under you?

Good grief... what the heck is wrong with good old basic routines?

[fitnessNY]

What a great way to fuk yourself up!

[crazle43764]

That just looks scary

[goodcents]

Where did you get the picture?

[G-1000]

i do that with 15p dumbbells

[*Narkissos*]

I saw a runner doing that in the gym here..stability training he called it.

Funny how 'stability training' is so unstable.

[G-1000]

it works all core try it you abs and legs will be killing you after 5 or 6

[*Narkissos*]

it works all core

So do standard squats..that's why they're called core lifts

Besides..they're dangerous..so i'd chooose standrad squats anyday

[frank_frank]

he should wear some ankle braces lol jk

ive done some stability training with a half ball type thing, but no weight, just like jumping on and off of it from different sides

I feel you man,I was thinking the same thing...I'm glad it aint just me .

Hey his trainer... Justin Timberlake!

[D-END]

is anyone else tired of seeing trainers that aren't big or cut or even in above average shape. Sorry had to vent........i just can't comprehend listening to an average joe about acheiving my goals if he looks like my english teacher. just a thought

[Explosive215]

Some people are better at telling others how to do stuff, maybe they dont have the drive to do it themselves but may have the knowelge (not that trainer from the pic, he is a moron) I seen this one trainer making this old guy stand on a half ball with one foot in the air while curling lol!!!

Couldn't agree more.

[TheChosenOne]

The PT at my gym does those. Now granted he doesnt have clients do them but he can himself with no spot.

I've read up on this a time or two. Thought I might give it a try sometime but I'm in no hurry. I've also seen those machines that you stand on and they vibrate while you lift weights.

Probably best just to stick to the basics.

[t-money]

HARDCORE!!!!!!

WHY?

In a recent NSCA conditioning journal they studied the effectiveness of doing such “functional training” lifts. They found there is no correlation to improved athletic performance or increasing strength. They are only good at developing the lift in that position, on a ball, or unstable environment, that’s all. They are a good circus trick and nothing more. Dangerous and an injury waiting to happen.

Exactly. They would be great if you were playing football while baling and rolling around on balls, however they are just a gimmick to help trainers think they are staying on the cutting edge.

My question is: Look at how long plates and bars have been around and then look at how long balls and bands have been here - which has had more proven success?

[t-money]

Arnold didn't win the Olympia squatting or pressing while on a ball, Hank Aaron didn't hit the most HR's by balancing on a disc, Walter Payton didn't become one of the greatest rushers by standing on a ball and trying to run.

This stuff is made as toys and gimmicks for trainers that don't know squat.

[Bombshell]

That's just an accident waiting to happen. I use a boso ball, but NOT for squatting. Where did that personal trainer come from, a cracker jack box?
