I use bosu ball/goblet squats as a rehab tool after having a knee reconstruction. It helps with balance, stabilisers and mind to muscle connection, particularly when under fatigue after the session. In terms of outright muscle and strength, I agree.

@caseycash4725 2 года назад

For sure. I use bosu for so many things. Keeps my heart rate up while I'm banging out sets. I, like most 35 year old dudes, am not competing for Olympia anytime soon so I just look for longevity over mass or performance. Jeff clearly has hatred for the bosu lol

@thevoiceovercloset945 2 года назад

Agreed, I'm a trainer and I work with a lot of older clients who want to improve their balance, and I use bosu balls all the time to put them in a proprioceptively rich environment, really challenges their stability and helps them improve their motor control! 😊

@jorgehoran1691 2 года назад

Jeff, you made good points with the Rack Pull exercise. However if done correctly it also targets the quads, hams, lower back, and glutes; also decreasing lumber stress (which you failed to mention). “The Rack pull throwing around weights”, maybe if you go to Eqinox or a commercial gym where your required to be quiet. For gym etiquette you don’t need to throw weights around, pick them up and put them back. There’s gym etiquette for ya.

It's technically not called a squat rack it's called a power rack...and curling in there makes me POWERFUL.

A squat rack is a rack the holds a barbell. Power racks are the big ones that look like cages

I never knew that about the rear neck lat pull-down! From way back in the '80s, I learned to alternate, front to back. I love that move... will be changing it up. At home I do a number of DB lifts/squats on the BOSU, sometimes inverted, not just to exercise the target muscle group, but to develop balance and core... and mix things up. Gonna re-think my options. Great topic - thanks!

Out of these I sometimes do front raises,. I'm glad I saw this. Ive never really put thought into why i do them I just enjoy the way it feels at the end of a workout, usually light days with high reps. I get 15 pound dumbbells and just crank out 100, concentrating on keeping my back/torso still and a controlled motion going up and down In tempo. Perhaps I've just been wasting my time.

@ChrlzMaraz 2 года назад

Yup! Use that time to do lateral raises and cable pulls and your shoulders will look soooo much fuller and better.

Of course there are ones that don’t help as much, but if an exercise works for you it doesn’t matter much what others say, because lifting is entirely personal to you

@flor18gatar 4 года назад

after sifting through a bunch of garbage fitness channels, I just want to say that this is quality content. You don't talk around in circles about the same thing over and over again, you get to the point and are concise and clear. Not to mention that your knowledge and advice is very solid as well. This is the type of content that will actually be helpful to novice health and fitness enthusiasts.

@Loj84 4 года назад

The first program I was on when I started lifting about 8 months ago included front raises, but noted to do them very slowly. I found that doing them slow at a low weight was an insanely hard forearm workout, and I didn't feel it in my front delts at all unless I went heavier and faster. No idea if it's worth it as a forearm workout compared to other options, but it was tough as hell.

His point wasnt necessarily that it was a bad exercise, just unnecessary since that muscle area is usually already pretty trained in your workouts

@Shannara360 10 месяцев назад

Good to know I don't do any of these exercises other than the frontal raises. Thank you for the info, I'll see about phasing those out of my workouts and integrating something else. I do enough of the things you recommended instead to phase those out.

@AlabamaJimTC 4 года назад

Thanks -- this list was good to review. I did most of these exercises in my first weight-training days but abandoned nearly all of them. First to go: behind-the-neck presses -- they always felt strained and unnatural. Never attempted BOSU ball squats. On any squats, even when there's a stable surface, part of me is still afraid of losing balance and toppling over. The only exercise in your list I've kept, though not often, is cable squats -- as a warm-up. Still, I get more results from cable lunges -- really feel the burn in quads and glutes.

Some advice for T bar rows, stand on plates or something to raise yourself off the ground. Gives create range of motion before the bar or plates reach your chest, and allows your body to be more right angled. I found this helpful as I'm tall, I include it with dumbbell rows on a bench.
