re: What are this board’s feelings on stability training?

Stuff involving wobble boards, Bosu’s, plyo/swiss balls, etc?

People talk on here about majoring in the minors and it seems to me this is one of the best examples and most on here aren't going to benefit from this in any meaningful way. Just train hard and with intensity in whatever fitness program you do. A god damn wobble board isn't going to do anything for 99% of people on here because most of you aren't eating right, sleeping right, or training worth a crap to begin with.

do not teach training on unstable surfaces in their certifications.

That’s not stability training. I guess our mistake was assuming you weren’t a fricking retard

Mingo - for 99% of people on this forum what is going to help with balance more effectively? A fricking 'wobble board' or someone who walks five days a week on a treadmill at 15% incline at 3.0 speed for 30 to 45 min?

no man, all the S&C guys are wrong...mingo is right.

This is just your projection. It’s what you do because you’re (notice this correct homophone usage here) incapable of having an intelligent conversation.

It’s what you and Ron do, give absurd examples or platitudes and then move the goalposts when you realize you aren’t making sense. You got your little skinny fat cronies here, I don’t know what else you need.

then wtf is stability training? please tell me what it is if it doesnt involve training on things like a bosu ball, slack board, sand etc


this is exactly what you always do because you never want to have an actual conversation like an adult...you come in and insult and call people dumbasses and talk about how everyone is stupid but you and nobody trains hard but you

we ask for specifics and you change the subject. you do that shite on the OT too....i literally had to practically beg you for recommendations on actual beaches instead of platitudes...its because you are immature and incapable of have an actual conversation

you will do just like you did above though and say....everyone else is incapable of having an intelligent conversation

but in the S&C world....stability training in terms of full body stability is referring to using unstable surfaces or objects to train

now plenty of joint specific benefits for using things like earthquake bar or hanging kettlebells from the bar. but not training on unstable surfaces....why because you dont perform everyday or sport specific task on unstable surfaces.

That’s a waste of time Jaxon and Braxton will never start for Barbe doing exercises like that

Nobody on here including the skinny fat people you like to mention will benefit from a fricking 'wobble board' more than they will incline walking either outside or on a treadmill.

I agree

quote:

I've always considered things like single leg RDLs, waiter/suitcase carries, sissy squats, etc to be stability training

is that not standard?

---

more just unilateral training.

stability training refers to use of unstable surface to train on. like doing a squat on an upside down bosu ball

there are joint benefits to doing some of the upper body lifts though like pushups on bands or use of the earthquake bar.

but doing things like squats on unstable surface, running on sand, etc....yea no benefit

plenty of benefit to doing unilateral training like the ones you mentioned, things like reverse lunges, RFESS, single arm carry, single arm bench etc.

I agree with this on things like BOSU balls where there are chances of huge ranges of instability. But with something that has more controlled and regulated oscillations, like a power plate, there are definitely benefits. I use them often and have great results in rehabbing ACL repairs. There's a benefit using machines like the power plate in tendon/ligament health and strength.

As for other forms of "stability training". I really do like proprioceptive exercises, i.e. weights hanging from bands from the bar/bamboo bars, in repetitive effort exercises.
