[TooPowerful4u]

PUSSAYS!!!

OMFG i havent laughed this hard in a while.  Who has more photoshops?  MORE MORE MORE

[Mike]

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

Exactly dipshit...that's why you use it, for IN-stability. 

Obvoiusly Stablility Balls aren't the best for building a physique but for rehabilitation, performance enhancement and general contitioning, they're great. 

Everyone know's how to do a fuckin floor crunch but showing a client how to do a Stability Ball crunch makes you look like a little more intelligent.

[suckmymuscle]

Now that is funny!

  This is just plainly dangerous and stupid . That trainer should be sued.

SUCKMYMUSCLE

[Howard]

WTF?

Someone is going to get hurt.  What are they thinking?

This "movement" is charter member of the retarded exercises hall of fame

[Captain Equipoise]

I recall hearing from a few trainer friends of mine that the whole swiss ball thing got big here through personal trainers with their own studios not being able to afford a ton of equipment/weight so they started improvising exercises using these swiss balls, when you take into consideration that one of those balls costs about $20-30 it makes sense.

[Mr. Intenseone]

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...

Anyone can teach anyone to do a sit up and if your teaching your clients to do full "sit ups" then you don't know how to train your clients. The same as any monkey can teach how to bench press, do leg extensions, etc.

BTW, squatting on a ball is retarted!

[gibberj2]

what would you do if you had a son and he started training on that ball?

[Mr. Intenseone]

what would you do if you had a son and he started training on that ball?

My son's 8 and part of his training is on the ball and like adults it helps with his balance, strengthen stability muscles and proprioception.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

proprioception.

your son shouldn't be having sex at 8 dude

[Mr. Intenseone]

your son shouldn't be having sex at 8 dude

LOL !

[FreakBB7243]

your son shouldn't be having sex at 8 dude

ahahahah...funny shit bro

[240 is Back]

your son shouldn't be having sex at 8 dude

LOL

[Mr. Intenseone]

LOL, I kinda figured that word would have pretty much leave people wondering!

[Stavios]

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.

hahahhahaha I was at the gym the other day and I see this guy asking a trainer how to get big legs ( even that was funny cause if you wanna get big, don't ask a gym trainer). And the trainer told the guy to do squats on 2 little balloons like that.
and the funniest thing is the dude is doing this every legs workout with 5 lbs on each side of the bar and asking everybody to look if his form is correct

It doesn't do a damn thing you moron. It's just a gimmick to get people with short attention spans in the gym so the PTs can get money. It doesn't look intelligent, it looks ludicrous.

[240 is Back]

I like to see some sweet looking honey bouncing on a big ball, it sure is fun to see her titis bouance and I wonder how it would feel to have her ride me

howie, you go from bashing drugs to daydreaming of womanizing. 

Something tells me you just applied your test band-aid...

[drkaje]

Most of the time I feel people are just paying trainers to be their friends.

[Princess L]

WTF?

Someone is going to get hurt.  What are they thinking?

The guy is a world class surfer.  His training techniques must be doing something.

[Kaliym73]

Now that's dangerous, I can only see someone getting hurt trying to do this.

[whodey]

I am a female personal trainer and a fitness competitor and all of the other trainers use the ball and do all of these crazy techniques on the ball...and these balance moves and weird ball holds  etc. etc. use core bords, bands, etc...and that is fine if their clients like it but personally...my clients want RESULTS. that's why they pay me and I'm going to work their asses off and not sit them on a ball and tell them to that stability training is the only way to get the body they want.

And they look at me training my clients with just iron and think I don't know sh*t about training!  It makes me so freaking mad.....Like I dont know anything about training people because I'm old school and am not certified by one of the "new"  ball certifications/NASMS etc...

Bottom line, even regular people, not bodybuilders will benefit from doing basic heavy lifting, cardio and eating right. It's not f-ing rocket science!

PS As a trainer, I do agree some people hire trainers to be their friends, which is very sad and pathetic but there are some who probably would never work out if they didn't  make a financial committment. once again kind of sad...

[Oliver Klaushof]

You got it! But if these suckers really want to play with balls maybe you should indulge the fools!

[whodey]

i  would totally play with their balls if they had any!

[brianX]

I'm declaring a Jihad against Swiss Balls.

True, but any trainer can teach the basics, it takes an experianced trainer to go beyond the basics and take your client to the next level. To be a great trainer your clients should be complete..meaning, not only the primary muscles should be strong and developed but also stabilizers as well as conditioning. Any trainer can just take money and persuade their client that their making progress. Learn to train your clients like an athlete (at their level) and you have well rounded, happy client!!
