  • Nice video and from what I've seen, people are tricked into thinking they're actually training a muscle. For example, doing pushups on one of those balance balls. People think they're training muscles because they had problems at first and now they can do them. I think that's more of a learned effect, like playing the piano or shooting a basketball. The whole stabilizer muscles things just sounds like a bunch of marketing hype to sell more equipment.

  • @eurohim Yes! It makes me want to puke, especially when some idiot personal trainer tries to tell me how great it is.

  • Hi Steve will do, i like your uploads very short and to the point just like INTENSITY

  • @MrBrockification Thanks! Theres also more great info on my BlogTalkRadio show. Once there search Steve Turano. The show can also be downloaded from iTunes.  The most recent shows can also be heard on my website home page (at the bottom) once they upload. Tell a friend! ~Steve

  • being a trainer i can relate to this, someone ask me once if tricep pushdown will help to bounce a basketball lol, i said nooooooooo only a basketball drills and pratices will do this. Some people are so confused.

  • @MrBrockification Agreed. And many of them are trainers!!!!!!! Theres also more great info on my BlogTalkRadio show. Once there search Steve Turano. I had great shows 4-13, 4-14, and 4-16. The show can also be downloaded from iTunes. The most recent shows can also be heard on my website home page (at the bottom) once they upload. Tell a friend! ~Steve Turano

  • The guy below me is mad.

  • Such an ignorant and simplistic point of view. You should be embarrassed.

    I've been bodybuilding for 7 years, I know how to train well and safely. However, I also have a reoccurring shoulder injury (impingement of the coracobrachialis) due to ..... weak shoulder stabilisers! Wow isn't this impossible according to you? Caused by posterior muscular imbalance, poor posture and not activating/strengthening/engag­ing my shoulder stabilisers.

    I can't hold a dip for longer than 20 seconds.

  • @BodyPerformanceTV steve does your breathing matter when doing crunches or sit ups?

  • true

    for example when you workout your bicep

    you are actually working out side muscle too (to a lesser degree)

    so that the weight doesn't fall side ways both side need to tense up

  • True. but why is it more difficult to do pullups on rings then a bar then? exactly: because you have to stabilize the rings, so that they dont sway.

  • One arm push up anyone? There's you answer.

  • hi steve. One thinh i dont understand is calesthenics. I know u make a point about needing high intensity exercise to cause muscular growth, but is there any value in doing for example hundreds of push ups dips etc, exept for endurance.. i dont understand how someone (mike tyson) can weigh 230 pounds of pure muscle,, and according to himself, only ever did intense calesthetics.. thanyou

  • @mattlikespeoples

    Lol, drinking the cool-aid of most 'personal trainers' and then throwing a straw-man argument in response. I don't think this guy is advocating machines for training - we all know they suck for pretty much any purpose except isolation for the bodybuilders. Barbell work - squat, press, bench, deads, clean, snatch > stability ball.

  • i guess this makes since. I suppose the only effect from using a ball to exercise just burns more calories then? Last month i was doing dumbbell press to work out chest. And i saw my friend doing it with a single, on hand at a time, rather than two at a time. I tried it and REALLY worked up a sweat, much more than normal.
