5 Swiss Ball Torso Twist

Like the side crunch torso twists work the obliques but with a rotational movement. Resistance is created by momentum rather than leverage alone. Therefore increasing the speed increases the resistance and difficulty of the exercise. Torso twists are great for golfers and anyone who wants to enhance the rotational mobility and power.

Shit, what's the heaviest weight you've used on this? I've thought about momentum-based training before but I guess I avoided it because people say momentum is dangerous, but I guess it's not if it's high rep and lower-weight with control and observation.

This exercise is about alignment and control. Make your transitions quick and precise. Once you're comfortable with the movement gradually increase your speed and go all out for 10-15 seconds. Stop when/if your form falls apart. I often use 20-40lbs for this exercise. When I go much over 40lbs I start slowing down. The goal of this exercise is to increase your rotational mobility and power - not high reps or heavy weight. Thanks for the question - Adam

a man with a knife can look dangerous too, but with guidance and proper training, the man with the knife can end up being a celebrity chef....

Sorry no such thing as fat abs. Hypertrophy is the growth that occurs after neural adaptation with low resistance to the target muscle. Depending on frequency around 4-6 week period with slow tempo 3:3 seconds, high reps around 15-20. Strength is built on that foundation altering tempo 2:2 seconds with reps 6-10 (Quality of movement) 2-4 week period if consistency is adhered. The next phase is hypertrophy with a 1:3 second tempo at rep range 8-12, normally another 2-4 week period. Results vary.

Hola, cuando practico este ejercicio, poco a poco me desplazo hacia atrás, mas bien el balón se va para atrás y tengo que detenerme y empezar de nuevo. ¿a que se debe eso?

Jota191 any exercise that twists your obliques makes your waist smaller. Check the guy out see how small his waist is. Good luck.
