I'm sure you called them "erectors"  Wasn't that the Weider company softball team's name?
Why yes it was in fact.  :)

No thanks.   :-\  I'll stick to conventional weight training.  This looks so dangerous and stupid. 

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.

That would make a good comedy starring Ryan Reynolds.

stabilizer muscles, you meathead!

Correct, but pistol squats are more safe and effective, since its an unilateral exercise.
BTW, thanks for giving me a good excuse to ungay this thread with Susana Spears

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.

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

Incredibly unnecessary. Smells like Crossfit. This is an ACL injury just waiting to happen.

Oh,I forgot about the all important stabilizer muscles that no one can ever name on any forums in the past 10 years.

Those stabilizers .............gotcha` !  ;)

Yes got to keep the body guessing / "shock" the muscles into new growth.

  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!

stupid "certified" trainers with useless degrees and never lifted a weight in their life who dont know what to invent to look special and make their clients look like complete dumbasses while being stared down by all gym members who wont give any of them any kind of respect.

  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.
