  • Oh hell yeah, the water spout! My grandpa showed me that like 20years ago, I seriously never thought anyone else ever did that. Thank for posting!

  • Water spout? I kind of like that. I love this drill, it has done many things for me, i hope everyone tries it out to reap the benefits

    thanks for dropping in

  • sorry, i guess what i meant to ask was, should this type of exercise be done with low reps or higher reps? Starting out I know light weight is used for technique, just wondering whether this exercise should be done with heavy weights to gain maximum strength.

  • I would recommend sticking to heavier weights/low reps. with lighter weights, people tend to zone out and just "go through the motion" i want you to focus on perfect reps, heavier weight will do more to injury proof your body.

    I could sit here and explain to you how these lever lifts work using math such as inch pounds, or you could go load up a 7 ft bar with what ever you think you need and try it. Now part of this is a demo. I do not want people jumping in my working weight. Throw 15-25lbs on that other end and you may hurt yourself. Try it out, you'll love it. Saxon side bends, not a bad drill. If you want a page from saxon work the bent press.

  • since no one has commented on this video in years, lol I guess i will. this is a great exercise. I use 10-20lbs. depending on how many reps im doing and how im feeling but only once a week. i also like to extend my support arm as far down the bar as i can, i feel it exposed my obliques and serratus muscles more and i tend to get more sore. thanks for video.

  • I tried this today, great exercise. The longer the bar the harder.

  • Wow man your a mammoth among men.

    Great job keep it up!

  • I am a big fan too. I have heard Diesel Crew put a video on fulcrum based lifting out, one day I should just break down and buy it. A german strongman named Herman Goering(sp)used them alot.

  • I'm interested in starting this exercise, but I'm curious, is 2.5 lb already a heavy starting weight? I know side bends are really hard even with light weight. Do these work your core any differently than saxon side bends? Great video!
