[pnutbutrncrackers]

Best medicine ball video I've seen on YT (and I feel like I've watched about 200). Only thing was it went wacky at 8:28.

[platerojohn]

@pnutbutrncrackers that's just a section of the video, go to nccpt.com and purchase it. It's not expensive or call 800-778-6060

[buzzkilling]

Knowledgeable and great communicator.

Thanks, John.

[JrZyFL2]

Yes, it does break up towards the end. 

[19grand]

[britb85]

@19grand Shit...a whole minute! Better just skip on to the next one I guess.

[jiyder]

[LardInATubeSock]

Platerojohn, i there a continuation of this video? I am a complete beginner and just bought a medecine ball.

[platerojohn]

[LardInATubeSock]

GReat introduction to concepts. thanks for posting.

[groganhgh]

what is the medicine ball made of again, was hoping to be shown some workouts

[platerojohn]

@groganhgh It's made of rubber or plastic or a combination. I have some DVD's call Fat Burning Workouts. call 800-778-6060

[LardInATubeSock]

@groganhgh I just bought the Nike "Strength Training Ball"/Medecine Ball from the local Sportchek store. Probably the best ball on the market. About $40 for the 4lb one. They make them in 4, 6,8,10,12lb balls, I believe.

[nastyQ13]

Excellent! I learned a lot but it did break up @ the end. Thanks again!

[platerojohn]

[Monadami]

Very good examples and technique, very informative. Best I've seen on here.

[platerojohn]

For sure, it all depends on the goal, the experience, the load, the speed, the individual, etc. etc.

thanks

[Roshibear]

All these exercises are great. The only point of contention I have is your statement on reps. 1 to 7 is your strength range, and power (i.e. strength + speed) is worked best in the 1 to 3 range. Hypertrophy is 8 to 12. And endurance is achieved after this with little benefit doing reps above 20. Of course there are no hard divisions in reality. At 15 reps some strength with still be increased as well as hypertrophy, although mainly the muscle tissue will respond with increased endurance....

[platerojohn]

So, can sitting in a chair for many hours a day.

thank you

[platerojohn]

exactly, YOu, are the man (i think,or you could be the woman! But yes, right on!

[neccrew]

These exercises could destroy your back and spine....be careful

[Roshibear]

Pressure on the vertebral disks are higher when sitting than standing. In fact intradiscal pressure might be 11 times greater when seated than when lying down. By far the most dangerous thing that somebody can do to their back is still with poor posture. Comparatively these exercises are very

safe. Think about that the next time you slouch while seated.

[Dlakavi]

and one more thing, you are wrong regarding concentric and eccentric muscle workout, if you accelerate the ball, it isnt a concentric workout, you should say which muscles youre talking about.

[platerojohn]

Thank you for your comment, but no, I'm not wrong. It's pretty hard to accelerate without a concentric contraction.

[Dlakavi]

Ok, i maybe wrong but isn't it true that while you accelerate something, some muscles contract while others lengthen, so the ones contracting are doing concentric and the ones lengthening are doing eccentric work?

[platerojohn]

I'm not totally sure, but you may be right to a certaing degree. For example, in a curl, your elbow flexors accelerate the weight but they also help decelerate the weight. How much i don't know. It would depend on the expertise of the lifter; to be able to accelerate just enought to get the weight from point A to point B.

[Roshibear]

If you curl a weight explosively, for example, the biceps brachialis contract concentrically the move the weight, while the triceps fire eccentrically to stop the weight at the end of the movement. In general when the agonist is firing concentrically the antagonist is firing eccentrically, especially for explosive movements, and vice-versa. In the eccentric part of the bicep curl there is some, even if very slight, concentric contraction of the tricep.

[Roshibear]

What I said above isn't completely true. The golgi reflex organ largely determines if and by how much the antagonist will fire. So it's not true that you always have a concentric contraction happening along with an eccentric one. Although frequently there is. And although it sounds asinine that the body would work against it's own effort, it's one way the body protects it's joints. Mainly though when we speak of concentric and eccentric movements it's of the prime mover. Sorry for the diatribe.

[platerojohn]

NOt really, in a curl usually the muscle performing the concentric work performs the eccentric work as well. OF course there is a slight contraction of other muscles in the entire body. when you curl a weight, your spinal erectors fire too, so do the muscles if your toes, but where do you stop?

[Dlakavi]

2 kg is 4,4 pounds not aprox 5 pounds

[platerojohn]

Yes, i know that. It was a generalization. $4.40 is approximately five bucks

[Dlakavi]

i only pointed out the stuff i thought wrong, but i really like the explanations of the exercises

[platerojohn]

You're right on the ball. When we were filming that, a policeman was approaching me and i wasn't thinking about what i was saying. It turns out we needed a permit to shoot a video there so we had to stop for a while. I can't believe i said 4.8 lbs. What was i thinking? or not!

Thanks for listening and pointing it out.
