Can someone please tell me when this whole 'swiss ball' movement got underway? Swiss ball everything it seems, but squats seems a bit out there.

Blame the personal trainers and their core-training philosophies.

I'm a personal trainer and I say core ball=people who don't want to lift real weight. To me, it's a joke. You want to strengthen your "core", do some fucking sit ups and put that retarded ball away. I don't use a core ball and my abs would own most "coreball" users. Amazing!!!
Croatch on...

What is the point of the ball? You have more stability on the ground. Another gimmick.

Tombo · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2006, 02:47:07 AM »

building balance and other shit i assume.. dude imagine falling off.... thats really retarded.

fathead · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2006, 02:50:54 AM »

How about military presses on a uni-cycle? Maybe deadlifts while on a off a skateboard... Really works those stabilizers !!

Balls are gayer then gayclub Lorenzo on a bustrip to Disneyland.

Skateboards ey... now that's an idea!

I've had some female clients do that,,, but on a Bosu.
Same effect, only stable.
I would never balance their ass on a fitness ball, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I would like to know how you get on a ball with 135 on your back without killing yourself, let alone do a squat on it.

They first showed up on the PT/rehab scene long ago. Later(10-15 yrs ago) a few strength coaches like Louie Simmons, Poliquin, Chek(extremer end) found they were useful for certain exercises(sit-ups, dumbbell presses, curls).

Now they seem to have been adopted by every pansy-ass personal trainer under the guise that they are the secret to functional strength.

if youre into bodybuilding its totally useless, but its a great tool for developing core stability if youre interested in functional strength or athletic performance

i tried the squats but i couldnt even stand on the ball, let alone squat, let alone squat with weight ... to be able to do that with controll would require tremendous balance

the only things i do on the ball are dumbell presses with my feet together .... i use just about the same weight but it feels alot better

Just another example of the fitness industry, and trainers, utilizing crap.
