[jeevan1002]

[robiscool09]

@PrinceNippy Yes you deffinatly need recovery time and doing cardio work is always great.

[KCinNZ]

Excellent info, thanks RJ!! :)

[markusbob]

Awesome vid, 5*

[lifeisgood070]

Why don't you touch the weights? I almost always touch the weights doing incline bench press.

[billysue2]

you should bring them close but not necessarily touch them.The difference between touching and not is a centimeter which wont matter to results.

[mrpatrickkallie]

This is a great video, I actually use the stability ball also

[deons93]

why dont u lock ur elbows?

[propta]

if you are a professional, you need to lock your elbows without the pressure, amateurs don't have the connection with mind muscle yet, you must develop that in time, and when you get there, you will understand why your elbows should be locked. keep training and don't hurt yourself and hope you will get to be a professional one day, remember it does not happen 3 days a week, it is over 20 years of training. Good luck

[JonnyFitnessNYC]

great video!

[tikafabulous]

very professional and informitive. I have just gotten my pt cert, where should I start first?

[prudypru1]

he is YUMMMIE!!! lol...but very informative as well..who knew u could b smart and handsome 2..lol...jk!!

[greekgirl504]

when working out, are there any dangers of actually pushing yourself too far?And if so, what wouuld they be?Is it normal to feel short of breath, hear your heartbeat and/or lightheaded when you are out of shape and just starting out?

[sicknstyfilipino]

Thank you for the video... not all of us are so exercise savvy and just starting out. It's straight forward and not intimidating.

[zerk54]

So they teach this stability ball nonsense at a personal training school.

Keep the giant ball balancing acts in the circus where they belong.

[samanthak13]

its actually really useful it makes you use other muscles so you dont fall off the ball. but i agree its kinda ridiculous ha

[jbone488]

how in the hell is a stabilty ball nonsense?

[billysue2]

it has its uses but its way over prescribed by underqualified trainers.The main problem is doing strength training,hypertrophy on it,you cant effectively.Also virtually none of the exercises are functional for any sport since there all done standing up and dont have the floor move under them.

[vivinbiddy09]

Thats why there are progressions just like the way he explained it. If you follow the Optimal Performance Training module u will understand the progression part of it. building core strenght before strength and hypertrophy is key...

[billysue2]

you cant build strength optimally on a ball no matter the progresion.You must be on a stable surface.You dont have to build core strength before strength training,you can build it through weightlifting with lighter weights using exercises like squats,deadlifts,goodmornings,­lunges,single rows etc.You can also do specific core work with or without weights.The problem is education,most trainers dont even have a degree in kinesiology/physiology and just believe the newest crap that comes along

[roncjett]

Billy,

A lot of what you say is right but off topic. This video was not created for someone trying to build as much strength as possible. It is intendted to satisfy a good portion of the people in the general public, some of which may not even have the strength to sit on a stability ball. Strength training takes on many diff forms and purposes and one vid will not even satisfy half of them.

[roncjett]

Take the video for what it is and know that some people are learning more in this 7 min vid than what they have learned their entire life. This info also comes form a very educated instructor. Masters of Science: Exercise and Sport Science BOOM!

[HuShar55]

ZZZZZzzzzzz z z z oh i fell asleep sorry nice sound track if your working out in the library.

[cihara2006]

would you be my personal trainer

[Rhams3y]

great video

[TeNeVnTr]

great info...kinda boring tho, thats why people dont like to work out...nobody thinks its fun

[MacxDex]

not try.. i like to work out, and i know a lot of other people who also like to workout.

[TeNeVnTr]

theres always exceptions a lot of people work out im talking about the general public thats why we in america have a weight problem

[hopkinsp79]

tell em again.. there are ppl who actually ENJOY working out. I'm one of them!

[msrulo]

woot i'm your 200th 5 star rater ^^

[sk8erflip4]

very very nice info dude.

[malamadera]

nice!!

[PrimeX]

thanks alot now i know exactly what to do :)

[PotrimArkin]

informative, but nothing special and he never explained why should i not lock out my elbows.

[mikecp1856]

lol you dont lock out your elbow to avoid obvious injury and closing off vital veins that would in peed on blood flow.

[propta]

so how do you flex your shoulders then?

[Imperar]

if you lock your elbows you will damage your joints and you will end up with arthritis in later life and even possibly having broken arms by the end of it. This applies to all joints in the body. I hope this is a good enough explanation.

[propta]

Do you any proof that by locking your elbows will cause arthritis?

[lvdjn]

working out your muscles not your joints... is that so hard to understand it. stubborn ALWAYS develop a series of problems later in life when your body doesn't recover so fast anymore. you dont need to take this risk ...

[propta]

you must be reading books too, and how many people you have seen with broken arm from lifting?

[fetis5]

you seem to be anti-logic.all the other explanations are correct and you just dont seem to get it.doing a squat,bench press,most exercises with the occational exception,you never lockout you knees or elbows.most trainers know this as it is fairly basic stuff.maybe you need to go back to the gym and experiment a little.

[nazeemdollie]

hi there,

my name is nazeem and i am a certified personal trainer from cape town, south africa, but moving to dubai in a few weeks as i got a job there with fitness first.

let me explain why you should never lock out your elbows on any pressing movement - because when you lock out on pressing movements, the emphasis is placed on your elbow joint and off the actual muscles which in this case are the triceps. by not locking out, you're maintaining continuous tension on the triceps, not joints.

[propta]

100 % wrong, totally wrong, you must be getting the wrong info dude. you did not do any homework or you are only reading books.

[myuzigoesblat]

shut up propta,

im a cft as well and nazeem is actually very right, you do not lock out because it takes the stress of the intended muscle and puts it unnessesarily on the joint, which in the long term "might" cause arthritis and similar conditions depending on the person. Either way its not something you want to risk, plus you train you to your muscles not your joints.

[propta]

what is a CFT? that's all you got?/?

[billysue2]

it doesnt cause anything,locking is a natural occurance in human movement,its more economical than keeping joints flexed and thats why nature evolved it.Where did you guys get the idea its harmful.

[roncjett]

As far as the locking out issue, its not even as much of a safety concern as it is a control concern. Again people who will most likely use this info are not your usual gym rat. Lord knows us gym rats develope our own habits.

[mugensc]

Very professional and clear.

Overall an excellent presentation.

[zmonkey11]

Good video man. I was locking my elbows in both chest and shoulder press. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

[TheLeoVLOGS]

[vi3tsteryis]

mlm1741: Putting a phone number on the internet isn't a really good idea. Stick with emails that is much easier to dispose of when giving contact information.

Other than that, this video inspired me to get back to working out.

[marsarito]

Is that Jett out there "contracting the galute muscles"?!? Is this man world wide or what!
