looks like Panes is having a hard time with the comments……dude….ive seen commments like these…they just want to be sarcastic or just overthrow their knowledge on you and show off …thts it…..the basic thing is….ask you Questions….dont like it dont buy it aint that right?
The same can be said for any number of exercises. With the nrg ball in particular, it seems difficult that a person would be able to force adaptive overload with enough TUT to elicit anything beyond adaptive changes. But my original point was less important – that its a back and shoulder exercise included in an ab routine.
“you are working balance and stability . . . muscle firing every second”
– Yes, you are also doing this anytime you do a normal crunch. Muscles fire every second. And ask any olympic strength coach; the best stability work are squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. As for what I do, I’m a doctor of exercise science and a specialist in kinesiology.
#4 great total body movement- working neuro-pathways and eccentrically loading the core resulting in stronger abs.
You should try the nrg ball sometime!!
Kasey,
thanks for the feedback- I dont know what you do for a living but i have been working with professional athletes for 20 years. Your technical feedback is respected however for
#1 first exercise-you are working balance and stability- activating the tva- deep abdominal wall- muscle firing every second to stablize- There are many types of training that have been debunked and as you know everyone has different study and testing protocol.
5) The abs are a smaller muscle group, and are commonly composed of red fiber, but that does not mean they need to be treated in an exceptionally different way from all other muscles. I dont see anyone training their chest by doing 20 reps of 3 or 4 exercises back to back non-stop, yet I see this with abs all the time. Give your abs 3 or 4 sets of prestretch crunches and be done with it. The best ab work of all are squats and deadlifts.
1) The first movement is that of a static contraction. Static training has been debunked for around 30 years now. Training in a full ROM leaves almost no reason to train statically.
2) The second move has you swinging the bar for momentum in your sit up, which negates most of the benefits.
3) In the “Russian twists”, your abs again only contract statically. Your arms are moving the bar.
4) Overhead throws are a shoulder and back workout. The abs are not involved to any great extent.
huh… well ok, I was wrong (guess there’s a first time for everything). Normally that many responses from the OP indicate he’s either deleting tons of comments to give himself the last word or using the comment pending approval thing so that only people who praise him can post.
the situps are an assisted concentric movement- then loading the eccentric or the elongation part of the movement. By using the lever system you are able to increase resistance by increasing the length of the lever arm.
this product is the real deal bud- its the advanced version of a med ball- they have been working for 50 years. You are working on increasing the eccentric load with the lever system- also strengthening wrist and grip strength- def try em
first there is no need to take off the shirt to show you anything. Second if you knew anything about profession athletes you would realize that shannon briggs- now european heavy wt boxing champion has trained with the nrg ball for years- go give him a phone call and tell him your feelings
why dont you take off your shirt instead of hiding ur body fat. at least we will think it actually works. if those 100 “athletes” ARE actually professional, they would understand that there is no need for your patented device.

that would be real good if you could train yourself to use a sledgehammer instead of that bar for the crunch thing

testing. If this is “comment pending approval”, I’m flagging as spam.
