I'm just saying ballistic training can help you achieve better results in muscle gain and muscle mass but it also has a high chance of injury as its explosive movement of the body
Cormax kicks ass, been doing it for a month now. I've gotten so toned and cut, so fast, it's incredibly unique, and anyone who hates on it obviously hasn't had the initiative to try it.
@AnonymousSlayer getting cut or toned has very little to do with what equipment you use,anyone who says different doesnt know what theyre talking about.
also if you want to do safe ballistic benches and throws just use a smith machine they have those at almost every gym. and if you want to throw just to med ball excersises. if u dont have med ball i made one take an old worn basketball cut a hole in it and fill with sand then tape whole up with duct tape and u gotta med ball.
you guys obviously have no idea what you are talking about, he is training specifically for his sport. In football being explosive is the most important thing you need and plyometrics and ballistic training is the best way to increase your speed and power because there you don't have to stop when u lift the weight you just throw it higher or into the air which allows a full range of motion with no stopping or slowing down.
That pro football hopeful needs to do alot more research about workouts if those machines are the hardest things he's ever done. Normal machines are good for nothing other then early-rehab after an injury and these SUPER-machines are only good for making an athlete FEEL like they are effectively and thoroughly trained. The machines still provide all the supporting part of the movement. Free weights, bodyweight, and some homemade setup can do it all and much better, for several $100,000s less.
big fancy smancy machines that take up ridiculous amounts of room. Bill Starr was right in the 70s about free weights being superior to machines due to rom and stabilizer muscles, and it still holds true 30 years later.
These idiotic machines are NOT revolutionizing the way athletes train. These machines are being used by trainers who have no idea of how to coach Olympic lifts and other modalities and/or are faced with athletes who are too lazy to learn technique, and coaches and owners who are badly misinformed.
Athletes that employ Olympic-style movements and other 'free-weight' explosiveness- and- agility-intensive movements get far better results than any machine jockey.
There's not one thing done on these machines that you can't do - with far superior results - with a good Olympic barbell set and a squat rack.
Furthermore, even the most expensive, international- competition-certified barbell set and rack will cost less than just one of these idiotic machines.
Buying a couple of big sacks lots of plastic bags. Fill the plastig bags with sand and drop them into the sacks. You can adapt weight by selecting how many sandbags a sack should have. then you can start jump/jerk whatever that suits you goals. Then buy an armani suit for the savings.
But if you shop around, you can get a much more useful Olympic competition-certified barbell and bumper plate set for less than $1,000, and you could still buy a used car with the savings over a brand new Eleiko competition set.
I haven't found any movement that you can't do with ropes and bags (iron bar not necessary but nice to have). It costs almost nothing to get and it gives same gravitational challenge. In additin it is simåpler to adapt those for more challenging excersices. Think if you wanna benchpresss 2 bags you can attach ropes as a length of 50 cm + and then you ahve added benchpress + balancing you press. core training easily.
This is missing out the eccentric phase

i guess these would be good for safety purposes instead of using a barbell. but using a barbell would get you better results in my opinion

Man, then you should see the result from good training(and diet) with free weights.

Yeah, that would work for some movements.
But if you shop around, you can get a much more useful Olympic competition-certified barbell and bumper plate set for less than $1,000, and you could still buy a used car with the savings over a brand new Eleiko competition set.

Unhidden,
Bench press and other 'slow movements' would be easy. Jump squats maybe. But snatches, cleans, jerks - no way!

@UC15 You have no idea of plyometrics and ballistics, do you?
