WHY IS THIS BEING DONE ON THE PLATFORM?

There's a lot of good advanced training videos on you tube

 

[BiggT]

First of all.....LOL, at the first vid.....doing that on a lifting platform is grounds for being violently clotheslined mid-exercise.

And the second vid.....most of it looks like 'anal sex prep'.....some of the stuff was legit, like db snatches, but damn, do them faster and with some real weight.....and lol at the "Turkish get-up " where he put his hand on the ground to get up, kind of defeats the purpose. And those cable swing things don't deserve to be commented on, lol.

Good stuff......

 

[SgtSlaughter]

wtf bro.... wtf.

wow.

lol... i didn't bother finishing vid #2. That douchbag should drown himself in his toilet.

 

[super_rice]

I dunno guys, I see some real world value in these functional exercises.

 

[Mercere]

I'm no expert but I know for sure pelvic thrusts at push-up position will not make me strong.
Why do they call that exercise "Turkish get-ups"? Does anyone know?

 

[super_rice]

Apparently the turkish like to get up while holding heavy things.

It gets better, look for part 2 of the advanced anal sex techniques.

The problem with the world I think is crossfit. The result is men built like marathon runners trying to perform snatches for 100 reps while quoting real oly coaches.

The guy in the first vid's last name is Weiner.

Turkish getups and one arm snatching and pressing are really good exercises actually........the pelvic thrusting and cable crap look like something right along the lines of the Bosu ball.

 

[super_rice]

Turkish getups are great. Try doing them with a barbell. Loads of fun and can make for some good post training competition.

I once tried a one arm snatch with a 88lbs kettlebell tho.. IMO, not a good idea

I looked vigorously for that part.

Great videos. LoL

SR, in all seriousness, you're absolutely right. People, who don't understand the olympic lifts, why they work, how they work, and what they truly are, try to market 'functional training' by overcomplicating it unecessarily, and the result is 100 rep cable snatches on a Swiss Ball, done by a guy with about 0% muscular bodyweight.

 

[Protobuilder]

They're forging elite fitness.

 

[Cynical Simian]

I want those 90 seconds of my life back.

I guess it could be worse...I could've been paying some asshat PT $50 an hour for sessions of that stuff.

 

[Jim Ouini]

I love the music in the 2nd vid. Nothing says heavy metal guitar riff death march like one arm lateral cable swings.

I'll test that theory next time I'm in the gym

"Elizabeth"
21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips

???

I think their approach can definately turn couch potatoes into more physically fit people, and it is better that hitting the treadmill 24/7, but elite fitness is not what they are "forging."

They are creating general fitness, like a bunch of mobility exercises.

 

[Swole_2112]

Hey SR,

I agree with you. I see see a lot of value in such functional training. Granted, if someone were looking to increase their bench or get a higher peak on the biceps, there movements would be of no use. However, if were looking to develop more balance and core strength, I think SOME of those movements could be very beneficial.
