not about how fast you do it, you look like a retard you arent even twisting your upper body, defeats the purpose of a "russian twist" hope you dont do that in a public gym haha

@Ionthegreat1 Thiswould be done for power and/or power endurance... Look up the definition of power and you will find that how fast the movement is done is critical to transfer to sport. The upper body is twisting to the extent of pain free range of motion.

I am sorry... But you guys obviously have no idea what you are talking about. If you have any questions i will be happy to answer them

LOL! That is so bad it's not even funny. Who taught you that crap? You aren't even working the obliques that much with all that SHOULDER rotation. Keep yourself from bouncing the ball and only work on a 45 degree angle. This will actually work more of that "fan" part in the obliques. You are just twisting and using WAY too much shoulder.

Lol

@Djdjin

The action of the oblique group is to rotate the trunk. The shoulder girdle will obviously move along with the rest of the upper body. Have you seen a rotational athlete (throwing, swinging, punching) rotate their body with the help of the internal and external obliques, without movement of the shoulders? Have you ever seen these athletes restrict their range of motion to 45 degrees? the goal is to transfer trunk rotation to the upper extremity to generate power.

@Djdjin You've got it right. This video is an example of improper form.

I know the shoulders are suppose to move, but you are only suppose to move at a 45 degree angle from side to side and not bounce the ball off the ground. When you do this, you focus more on your obliques rather then shoulders + obliques. Reguardless you are right, the shoulders must move, but not that much.
