135lbs on a swiss....hmmm well i wouldn't be caught doing that anytime soon, just makes ya too top heavy and messes with center of balance/gravity; very easy to fall imo.

OK, I see it now.

That looks like a balance exercise, not strength.

Come on, it's only one plate.

Would you do it?

No, but then, nothing I do is dependent on that type of balance.

I do basic weight training for size, that's it. But I know of many different ways to increase specific muscular stamina and/or balance. And many exercises using balls are for balance.

I wonder what kind of benifit he'd get from that exercise? Maybe he's trying out for the Cirque De Solie as the bottom man for a Human Pyramid:laugh:

Yea but it's still about 140 lbs. That would hurt like hell to have land on your head

Then you don't let it fall on your head.

What if the guy behind you fondles your as$ and when you resist he pushes you, while popping your swiss ball with an ice pick!?!?!?

That is SO crazy on so many levels.

WHY squat on a SWISS BALL?! Point of the squat is to lift heavy/ reps and you CAN'T do either whilst on a dam ball...

He is building incredible core strength and balance by doing that exercise.

There are tons and I mean tons of exercises that you will not see in 90% of gyms that are just phenomenal for building athletic ability.



Go back to your bicep curls.

LOL. You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[DVad3r]

That's just, ridiculous.

 

[glenn beck]

I was thinking about it tonight you know how akward it would be to step off that thing when you were done with the weight on your shoulders?


If a client of mine wanted to do that, I probably wouldn't spot them, just sit back and laugh.

 

[DVad3r]

Yep, getting on it, staying balanced, doing 1 rep, and then getting off it, would seem to require at least 2-3 ppl helping you out, and for what benefit? Stabalizer muscles??? hehehe ezzzz there champ

 

[quakefiend420]

well, thats retarded...

 

[duckdown]

insanity..
