Not sure if it's worth the pain
Discussion
I get the sentiment of "I would never question another trainer" but in this instance it's extremely obvious that this is dumb as all fuck and really dangerous. Basically begging for some sort of serious injury and/or a lawsuit.
Doing fancy dumb shit like this for tiktok and treating weights and other equipment like toys... at some point, someone's gonna get hurt. And it deserves to get called out
I don't remember which one but there was a Final Destination movie with a bodybuilder in it that gets his head smashed by weights....this reminded me of that.
That movie made me analyze all my workout equipment vividly lol
Final destination had me checking a lot of fucking things!
I know the movies are silly but there's no serial killer, alien or haunting movie that had me paranoid like Final Destination's goofy ass accidents.
I still can't see a truck carrying wood without immediately thinking of the movie.
Final Destination is horrifically underrated in terms of the genre. Like, sure, no serial killer or alien or haunts, just the literal concept of death. So glad the new one was good, really hope they keep the series going.
I've never been on rollercoaster in my life before Final destination, and after final destination it was basically cemented.
Mine is still the sink disposal. I dread everything having to put my hand in it
Those movies are why I hide below the sink whenever I have to turn on a garbage disposal. Good life lessons there. 😌😅😌
Saw a show where a poltergeist turned the disposal on while someone was fishing something out of the drain, now every damn time I have to fish something out of mine I have to actively remind myself that No, the disposal cannot turn itself on. You’re fine, your fingers are safe, YOU’RE FINE, just get in and get out and you’ll be fine!! DON’T THINK ABOUT IT YOU’RE FINE 😫
That would be Final Destination 3. The one that starts with a rollercoaster. 🎢 🥰
Ngl probably my favorite of the whole franchise, saved a whole generation from skin cancer over tanning beds....
There’s a video of an Asian bodybuilder getting killed by a barbell when doing squats. Instead of throwing the weights behind him. He leaned forward and it snapped his neck. I think it happened a few years ago. He was pretty famous.
Oh that sucks, he was probably panicking.
We shouldn’t mock this woman. You never know when this could come in handy. I saw this video a while back and I too thought this was really dumb. However I tried it out and got good at it.
Then one day, I was at a high wire event and a guy pulled a hamstring halfway through. He couldn’t continue. He was too high up. Nobody knew what to do. But I was trained for this. I was able to walk across the wire, hoist the guy onto my shoulders, maintain the balance despite all the extra weight and walk the rest of the way.
This workout saved a man’s life.
And then everyone clapped?
I dunno, I was too high up, I couldn’t tell. But I assume everyone clapped
I mean, technically, and assuming she doesn’t kill herself, it will work stabilizing muscles incredibly well. If you did this routinely you would likely eventually be able to stand on a basketball and bounce around on it.
It also forces the squat force to the core. Since downward force is met with flexing force.
But, your more likely to kill yourself.
It’s like running on a treadmill while lifting kettlebells. I mean do one workout at a time.
I’m not sure why anyone downvoted me. I thought it was clear it’s a stupid awful irresponsible workout by saying it could lead to death.
What I was saying was it would target lower body stabilization muscles.
Just like juggling chainsaws would workout your arms.
Wasn’t me. People are just dumb.
It’s Reddit
Not being snarky just wondering aren't there balancing board for that? Something a little safer than resistance bands?Â
There’s probably a million things safer than this that do the same thing lol.
The lady is also kind of "cheating". Her feet are pushed forward pretty far and she's leaning backwards. It's obviously for balance, pushing her neck back against the bar in order to get some third point of contact that's actually stable.
Don't get me wrong, still standing on the bands...but isn't the whole point of those things so you can balance without another point of contact?
I also don't see how this would be possible without leveraging against something... Defeating the whole point of the bands.
On the one hand logic dictates you are correct, on the other hand I've seen enough of those red bull what are they training for? Videos where the person is doing some weird ass combo work out using a machine and bands like this and then it makes sense when you see it. So when I saw this I just assumed we were about to see her so something absolutely insane at the end of the vid.
Imagine putting all that work into your body just to break your neck
This is just a regular day of crossfit
As a crossfitter: Hell no!
Sure Jan. Whatever you need to tell yourself.
Also, I highly doubt he has a case if he hurts himself. She didn’t encourage this, she just did it. You can’t just see a video of someone doing a thing and then claim they owe you money if you got hurt attempting to do that thing.
If that were the case every workout influencer out there would be getting sued out the ass because some twiggy dude would just go above his max and hurt himself then sue them for being able to lift more.
Was she shaking like that 😂
Not saying this isn't dumb as shit in the context of weights, but I slackline and it's extremely common for people to shake like that their first time. I don't entirely know whether it's mental adjustment or building stabilizing muscles, but at least on the slackline it does eventually go away.
I'm pretty sure it's the little stabilizer muscles getting up to snuff. You can get the same sort of reaction with some core workouts when people first start.
if you don’t mind me asking, how did you get started with slackline?? it looks so fun just no clue what the first steps would be
The only reason she wasn't shaking like that at the top is because she locked her knees while she was holding the weight at the top. The second she bent them, she started shaking but she went down so fast that it wasn't really as severe.
The trainer doesn't really seem to care about that either, though.
Because he’s about to blow out his knees 😠this is a hospital visit and a doctors eye roll waiting to happen
I know nothing about the guy and not much about weights. But I do know that guy is jacked and his knees are just fine with that miniscule amount of weight. Might not be miniscule to me, but I know it certainly is for him.
He's actually pretty funny.. Jarrell something, Momentum Fitness... He takes on stuff he sees other people doing all the time, ends up on the floor a lot with his dog in his face, deeply concerned lol He has a good sense of humour
I’m not a doctor or anything, but I don’t think weight is what ruins the knees here, I’d think it would be bad form or a form that can unexpectedly shift out of placr
That's not how this works.... That dude could probably squat 3 plates easy
I read your comment as he was saying it lol
Probably adrenaline.
Dootie Wootie always being the star of the videos
I love Dootie. At first I really dislike the guy for putting his dog at risk while he does stupid stuff with weights, but then I realized there's always a cut from him telling her him to get away, and then she's not around, like he actually goes and ensures she's not around and in danger
Dootie is a boy. There's a video of him teabagging the camera...
Lol I'm obviously not a follower, but I corrected my comment!
Recommend following. He's consistently funny and positive
Smh. That damn video, I laughed and hated it at the same time
I love Dootie Wootie!! He was the goodest boi in this one.
It looks like it puts a ton of weight on your ankles as your feet can't sit straight on those bands.
I think maybe just start with the rubber bands first with no barbell.
I think the barbell is required for leaning against the structure to stay upright
You'd think this is a deranged promotion by a company that replaces the worn off coating on power racks by how much this exercise will sand it down over time.
What a guerilla marketing campaign by the cabal over at Big Coating, by the way
Those sneaky bastards.
You could still start with just the bar, no plates.
There are also machines that let you simulate this movement with a non free weight. Idk the name of it, it but it's the exact same exercise in a contained weight machine.
Smith machine? Bar in a fixed track, slides up and down?
That's the one
That is just straight up idiotic. There is nothing more to it. Just plain stupid and idiotic, moronic thing to do or teach someone to do.
It's like someone saw bosu ball squats and decided that they weren't pointless or retarded enough.
Do you dislike that exercise specifically or BOSU balls in general?
I've made it a goal to spend more time on them to increase balance and ankle stability for walking / jogging on rocky surfaces.
No complaints about them as an exercise to increase stability, but many people use them in their strength training routines, somehow thinking that making things more complicated will also make them build more muscle
I get the idea, at like, low weights. Like I could imagine squating on a BOSU Ball with <50 lbs because I can imagine a variety of circumstances where that would function as an approximation of real world scenario.
Beyond that, yeah I don't get it.
This was just hilarious 😂😂😂
Props
'why am i shaking like a stripper?'
my dude because you have at least 4times as much active braincells and survival instinct as that woman
No I’ve had similar stuff happen when training underdeveloped small muscle groups. He may have never needed to train the muscles required to stabilise his legs in that kind of situation because frankly when would you really train outside of some specific sports? You can see this sometimes by trying to balance on those yoga balls that are kinda cut in half so they can lay flat.
I follow him on insta, and he’s actually a former nfl player! He often posts videos of him at reformer Pilates and he shakes like a leaf in those situations too lol
The pronation of the ankle made me sick
I feel like the purpose is supposed to be to keep you from favoring one side over the other, but in execution none of this is safe or good for your body.
If you're worried about form get a half balance ball with no weight to focus on practicing the movements and then add weight.
His nipples 😅
Look. At. Her. ANKLES!!!
\ /
Lol, I needed a good chuckle this morning
Dootie: "Don't do it. I can't let you do it. It is... my Dootie."
His videos are great. Idk that it really counts as "fixing", but he and his dog always make me smile
There needs to be a bullshido subreddit but for the gym.
Thank You for This.
No worries mate. Also worth a mention, r/curlsinthesquatrack
It's mainly dunking on people with bad gym etiquette but every so often shit like this and this pops up
The dog being like, Don't do this bro. This is too dangerous.
"If you get hurt and start writhing on the ground, ngl, my bully instincts gonna kick in and I'll end you no matter how cute my eyes is, k?"
On one hand, it is for sure a killer training for core
On the other hand, it could kill you
Parkinson's training
This was 😆 hilarious. When he stopped to check if she was shaking too. I was dead 💀
I can see why it'd feel like it was doing something. I'll still never do it tho. That shit looks one bad twitch away from fucking your whole shit up permanently.
Crossfit is mostly just making stuff up to see what the victims will pay to do and it is all fun and games until you develop a Marjorie Taylor Green bod and you regret your decisions up until that point.
This is dumb as fuck and should never be done obviously, the only possible reasons I could imagine a trainer doing this is a) a terrible stability exercise b) a way to make the squat more quad dominant (kinda like a smith machine squat but…just use a smith machine or do literally anything else) c) this trainer hates their client and wants to cripple them
Worst thing about the initial video is she has no safe options for failure.
No spot, she can't toss it back and roll out, and thanks to the bands she can trip and that just leaves the weight with no where to go but down onto where she'll be.
P.s. the shaking is good. To be able to control it grows strength. But you can just slackline regular, no need for this level of extreme.

Medical leave
To be fair, the shaking part is probably extremely efficient for burning fat and increasing stamina.
Just stay like that until failure, and since you're scared you can push yourself for longer. Just need a good spotter or two.
this made my buldged discs complete rupture watching this.
The only thing I can think of is they are trying to work the stabilizer muscles, but I feel like you can work all of those muscles by using free weights normally.
Needlessly difficult with no gains for practical applications. Not even good balance training.
Stability strength training. She is leaning back into the bar alil more then he was and she cant fall backwards.
I've done simular stuff with free weights. Its about working all the stabilization muscles.. the way she did it looks pretty dangerous tho
Shaking means you are unbalanced. Yes its a weird workout to be doing but if it finds a weakness you have an unbalance
What that boy doin, shaken like a soul shaker, damn
I don't think the guy from the video will come across this but what the hay...
He has a MUCH harder time because he is balancing on the bands, she is not. She has them pushed forward and is leaning herself onto to bar which prevents her from falling over backwards.
The shaking is also caused when you don't know how to balance yourself on stretchy stuff such as a slackline for example. It's natural because your body is in a panic since it has no footing when it expects to have some so it's trying to correct. It's "cured" by experience and teaching your body about the situation so that it understands what's happening and remains calm.
But of course that is not the case for her. She sinply has her legs more forward and is leaning back against the bar as a stable point. I know a good bit about balance but a good bit less about working out so her technique is most likely garbage because of the lean. But with you, you certainly got a fullbody workout from trying that with proper squat technique so I'd say it did more than just a squat. 🤣 If you attempt this again, I'd recommend you use one of the machines where the bar is inside the guide rails on each side so it can only go up or down. You'd have a much easier time. (Or if you cheat like she did.)
What a good doggy
Weirdest fucking shorts I've ever seen.
Shake it like a salt Shaka
The dogs worried. Poor baby doesn't want him to get hurt
Maybe she’s slackline training? Lol
Probably balance for heavy items
That’s just straight up dumb. Why would you not question other people? Like lawyers question lawyers, judges question judges, and doctors question doctors.
Never assume what you see posted on TikTok is real. Assume it’s some sort of illusion or trick. The woman looks like she’s holding weights but unless you handed her the weights I’m going to assume that those are fake. This is the only reason why she was able to pull it off with minimal shaking. The man tried to replicate what he saw. He assumed the weights were real and saw how difficult it was to do. I’m glad he wasn’t hurt.
Regular bench, regular squats, regular deadlift, regular OHP. If your trainer isnt starting you off with these they're trying to make exercise seem too complicated to do without them.

When your biceps are bigger than your calves.

No one is offended lmao.
You have no proof that this lady is doing any form of special training. You are assuming.
You can’t even tell what is meant to be getting worked on by this ladies setup. Bands are definitely used in barbell squats to add resistance, how are they doing that here?
