14 Swiss Ball Quad Extension

Last time we looked at the Hamstring Curl on the ball. A good complement to this exercise is the Quad Extension. The knee extension in this exercise definitely works your quads but also involves the upper body, abs and core.

your exercises have no application to real life. Not a single exercise mimics any behavior from every day movement....

sorry - but its a pretty boi on a ball - nothing more!

This exercise is a take off on the prone jackknife or knee tuck which trains the lower and deep abdominal wall in a dynamic environment. The QE on the ball works the quads and complements hamstring curls. I use exercises like this to access remedy some of the hip/back movement dysfunction I see in my practice. I was introduced to this concept by Paul Chek. They're also useful to use during a light training cycle when taking a break from deadlifts, squats, lunges etc.

I have Paul Chek's dvds and they are okay. He is going in the right direction with his teachings, but what you have here is way WAY TOO ADVANCED. Most people will get hurt doing what you show.

The simple fact that the "boi" is a shirtless shoeless "model" means that you are not selling a useful exercise model but you are simply advertising a hot young stud on a ball....

sorry - but you are wrong! your exercises are useless for 99% of all people!!!

Perhaps we can agree to disagree. These are the same exercises I use with clients all the time. I've successfully trained people in their seventies with SB exercises like bridges etc. The "boi" (whatever that means) is me, not a "model". I'm 38 years old with a wife and two kids. If your program will keep me: pulling 500 lb deads, squatting triple my bodyweight, rock and ice climbing, running 5-6 min miles and feeling great, sign me up.

Kind regards - Adam

I am a Runner/Marathoner and have been using the SB for about 4 months with good results. However now that I have seen these videos of Adam and his techniques I am REALLY making progress with OUTSTANDING RESULTS, Thanks Adam!

I do many ball exercises, but for this one, I cannot seem to get myself in the beginning stance. Any suggestions?

Why not just do an air squat?
