that dude is doing it totally wrong, not enough twist on the core/abs, all hes moving are his shoulders ....dumb noob....he'll just burn out his grip, forearms, arms and shoulders with that crappy form ... fail
Depends on your goal. Remember, the definition of stability is the ability to control movement and force. muscles are strengthened but the core is being made mobile, not stable. However, if your training for core stabilization and not strength, you'd want to keep the hips held in a natural or neutral postion while moving the arms. next time rotate your upper body while keeping the lower body stable .
Hmm, doing it that way would primarily train your shoulders, as far as I know.
If you face the bar in the whole motion, ie. also turning your torso to your bar, you'd train your abdominals, as they are the muscles that do the movement now, not the shoulders.
You know what, you're right, I haven't looked at these videos in a while, pretty much after reading an inspirational T-Nation article about rotational exercises, I haven't done one where my head looked forward and the rest of my body did not move for several months now. Sharp Eye!
Use your core and legs should be bent

whats the version like this but you're only pushing from the chest? forward and no rotation?

one of the best excercises for rotation of the hips. Great for a taekwondo or kickboxing athlete.
