It`s not like you could do sets of 10 without killing yourself.

funny part is that they think they are training "more effectively" than you, utilizing the "core" and "stabilizers" lol

Back in the day,we called "the core" erectors and abdominals and we worked it doing squats and deadlifts not standing on a fucking big blue ball.........I hate "the core" parrots and their ilk with a passion.

I love to kick those balls around the gym though.......lotsa` fun!

Unfortunately bigger mainstream gyms will become less and less about about conventional weight training and more about dancing like it's a nightclub between sets of cable crossovers, cagefighter shadowboxing by the water fountain, anti-social weirdos giving out Charles Manson death stares to each other and this "stabilizer muscle" nonsense.

Correct, but pistol squats are more safe and effective, since its an unilateral exercise.

Seriously: you're not training muscles on a ball, you're training your nervous system to balance. Which is ok if you want great balance standing on a ball, but I prefer big muscles.

This is why I had to go the home gym route. Example: dude doing d.bell tricep kick backs on that half flat side half ball (whatever the fuck its called), The guy doing orangutan aerobics on the cable crossover machine, the worst for me are the monster(135lb) deadlifters screaming slamming the weight, which is cool as long as you can handle the weight. Watching their backs completely round as the kid struggles to get 315 up for one rep.

Someone needs to try deadlifting on one of those balls. Can you imagine the stabilizer muscle development one could achieve ;D

In many cases the fiber recruitment is higher on stabilizing exercises. That's an important rationale behind free weight v.s. machine training.

Agreed, but standing on a rubber ball won't give you bigger muscles.

Agreed, but standing on a rubber ball won't give you bigger muscles.

Also agreed, you would prob focus too much on your hip stabilizers instead of your quads. This evening I did some single leg presses, since I have some lower back problems.

Actually learning to use stabilizing muscles etc. is very good (kill me wes), only the execution in this case is pretty retarded. Here you have the snatch, a great exercise that requires strength, speed, flexibility and balance. Basically anything you can train except for stamina. And yet these FUCKTARDS think it's an improvement to do it on a fucking ball instead of mastering the technique properly.  ;D

  The most hilarious article I ever read was one by the late Mike Mentzer in which he derides "swiss ball squats" as the sign of intellectual decadence of Western civilization. Brutal, brutal fail at logic and irrationality. The most hilarious quote from the article was this:

  "Aristotle wouldn't be proud of these people."

  LOLOLO!

  If aliens came to Earth and saw humans performing squats on swiss balls, they would ask each other telepathically:

  "What the hell are they doing? We have never seen such irrationality in the entire Virgo supercluster."

  They would then proceed to treat us as the inferior monkeys that we are.

"Boxing"
     

The idea of boxing is just a simple torture/death penalty method used for a group of 3-10 people.  The "box" is actually and metal trailer type deal, that rests on a pivot, tilting slightly in one direction (the tilt can be altered at killers desire).  The trailer is around a 20X8 with lights and slats to send food in.  The people inside will be perpetually naked and will be fed anything they desire however will never be able to leave the "box".  The lights will be switched so that they sleep during the day and are awake at (our) night.  Good quality food will be continuously sent in through the slats along with whatever drinks they request.  As they are still being fed they will continue to urinate and defecate.  Since the trailer is inclined, they will shat and piss on the lower end so they still have room to sleep that's clean.  Then one day when everyone is asleep, the lights will flip on and the trailer's incline will be switched.

Disease will kill a few off.  After the first round we (I) will start to introduce flies, moskeeters, ticks, maggots, and various road-kill into the "box". Repeat as necessary.

Absolute nonsense. You aren't going to benefit from doing that kind of shit whatsoever. The vast majority of your effort goes towards simply trying to maintain some balance and coordination, let alone achieving a muscular contraction.
