A buddy of mine spotting this coreball beast and got a nice shot. As you can see, he is actually balancing on the core ball, which is lying on a bench press.
If anyone else has cutting edge ideas for core ball work, please post them. I feel like I'm stagnant at 220lbs and want some new cool exercises. ::)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOOK AT THAT FUCKER
-
That is hilarious. How about some wrist curls on TWO coreballs on top of each other? That would be a workout.
-
I saw some guy curling 5kg dumbells to failure while kneeling on a swiss ball. He threw the dumbells when he was finished as well. So annoying
-
Come on guys, leave the poor fella alone, looks like he's just having some bouncy fun. ;)

Croatch I thought you feel in love with Zeb Atlas, you haven't posted in a long time. Maybe it was just a steam room fling for Zeb and he cut you off.

No, I've been teaching a coreball toning class 4 nights a week. There's not as much time for getbig now.

Ah, the ole coreball balance on the bench....I added 3 inches to my thighs and chest with that exercise.

Haha got to love those 130 lb Personal Trainers who can talk for 2 hours straight about the benefits of training your core with that ball, but can't bench 225 for 1 rep even if you put a gun to their head, lol
-
Why do they do it? I'd love to go and pop one of those balls while some dude's benching on it, struggling on his 3rd rep with 65lbs.

Do as I say, not as I do...haha
I once had this trainer ask me where to get gear, I replied, "Sorry bro, I don't take anything."
The fact I was 60lbs heavier than him and with the same bodyfat, put him in the state of shock. I guess ACSM doesn't teach you how to gain 70lbs of mass without drugs or kettle balls....hahah

That guy appears to be breeding the ball...he should be arrested.
-
tapoutters :-\
-
Is he doing a reverse hyper extension?
-
Hahahahah,
just like a twink at my gym..
except he does crunches on it ::) ::)
-
its always some skinny twink doing these dangerous ball excercises... one little slip and he is going to be picking his teeth off the floor. pointless
-
He's taking up a perfectly fine bench just so he can look like a douchebag
-
There are a half dozen good exercises that can be done with a stability ball, pretty much everything else is bullshit. In fairness, though, even the guys at WSBB use them for restoration and stuff like DB presses and hamstring work.
But that guy and the 135lb swiss ball squatter should make an instructional video together.

wow croatch-your gym lets u take photos in the gym?? :o

I don't think it does, he is disobeying the rules and should be reported. He works out at Zeb Atlas's gym, I think it is Golds, we can email this and provide proof so he is kicked out.

How much core work does a person need? Seriously...unless you're a gymnast or an acrobat, how much core work do you need to do?

Do you train lower back? If so how often?

DL's once a week 5x5. I think there's enough core training with power movements. Rows, Squats, Dips, DL's...plenty...besides, I'm not training to be an acrobat.

Ok, but with older people, weaker people, people recovering from injuries and people who don't or cannot do DL's they do need quite a bit of "core" training. Nothing wrong with doing a reverse hyper on a stability ball if there is no reverse hyper available. Reverse hypers are one of best exercises around for rehab.

I agree with 100% for rehab...like leg extensions are a good way to help people recovering with limited range of motion or strength BUT 90% of the people I see using the ball are healthy and capable of real training. The 'trainers' at my gym start people out on the ball instead of on the basics because it's new or a gimmick or easier. I see people sitting on them doing lat pulldowns, curls, shoulder presses. All movements, that to me, should require a sturdy foundation to do.
I'm also under the impression because the majority of the public believe in fat spot reduction and 'in there minds' believe that sitting on ball and grinding their hips is reducing their fat ass, or the theory that crunches reduce abdominal fat. This is my opinion on their popularity.

Well said. There's a time and a place for the medicine balls. Problem is, the joker trainers have taken it out of hand.
