[@Dontbustthecrust]

I'm confused. Do you eat a lot of chocolate or are you black?

[@gymlife408]

This is also a great argument for re racking your plates

[@Jefrejtor]

Besides the "not being a self-centered piece of shit" argument

[@JB4375]

From that perspective, the best workout possible is working at a gym and re-racking everyone's weights at the end of the day. Plus you get paid. 😉

There isn't a counter argument, you put them on, you take them off🤷‍♂️

[@jonathanlloyd2371]

Thought it was just happening in my gym. I always think "what lovers want to lift weight, but are too lazy to take the plates off and rack?" It's like what if someone elderly wants to use the equipment afterwards? Just plain stupid and lazy. I think maybe I will start cleaning up after them to get the core workout in.

[@epistarter1136]

Finally a core exercise where I don't have to worry about form so much

[@markmoore618]

I think it's exactly the opposite lol. Form is everything when it comes to any core exercise. In this one you have to stay straight up and down. It's nothing but form

[@nouhorni3229]

For holds, it's really just keep your hand(s) closed and your chin up, and maybe walk over there. And they don't train just the core, your whole body needs to maintain tonus to not tear from its sockets. Every muscle group gets hit, forearms and traps the most. Obliques get worked with asymmetric ones. Love the hold & carry.

[@epistarter1136]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@markmoore618 having good form is a given, this one however seemed much easier to get into rather than needing to record myself for feedback, staying upright is straightforward but tough on your core which is a good thing. Its just the ones I've tried before are frustratingly annoying when you don't feel your core engaged but another body part is doing the work

[@tdragon4752]

⁠​⁠@@markmoore618 think what he means is not needing to try adjust yourself constantly to get the right muscle to engage. It was frustrating when I did side planks/planks and the muscles I would feel are the shoulders even after taking notes/recordings. This, you just need to stand straight up and can even do it in front of a mirror for slight adjustments while still getting your core engaged

More accurate to say obliques

What is your band-to-weight ratio for stability. Also, I am a Kinesiology & Exercise Science Major at UH Manoa in Hawaii and a CPT as well.

​@@RagingRugbyst relax.. Breathe..

@@NofirstnameNolastname let go... Kick the bucket, I'll be okay.

[@imaouima]

What's the band for? Why not just hold the kettle or dumbbell with your hand? Does it have something to do with the weight height and how it affects your balance?

[@Ewr42]

​@@imaouimaand bc momentum adds another instability that your muscles have to counteract else it starts resonating and will break your knee, so to curb the vibration your abs will be constantly contracting and relaxing to absorb the vibration It's like plancking whilst balancing on a ball, to combat instability you have to stabilize your core muscles, it's what they do You can do it without bands, but they make it more effective

[@orionsimerl6539]

Or just do traditional ab exercises, crunches, leg raises, and reduce your body fat. Not to mention that your core is engaged to perform most other exercises and movements. But gimic ab exercises are popular among people who think they can spot reduce. Everybody's abs look good when they have a low percentage of body. If you can't see your abs already the only reason to train them is to increase your overall muscle to increase your metabolism.

[@marcquenneville7997]

I agree for healthy people who are actively barbell or kettlebell training with appropriate programming, most of the core training you'd ever need is happening already. I'm slowly building back my stability from a low back injury, and do a ton of offset carries and they're helping me alot to get back to that structural integrity again, maybe that's where this kind of movement can shine

[@orionsimerl6539]

@@marcquenneville7997 Sure rehabbing from an injury where you can't do traditional core exercises. I just think if you're training your abs and obliques the muscles are getting more stimulation through contractions than they are from a stabilizing role in off balance exercise.

[@AK12255]

These exercises we can actually use as an athlete

[@orionsimerl6539]

@@AK12255 Even in terms of balance most of balance is represented in core strength. A contraction of the muscle is more stimulating to stabilizing muscles used for balance than is standing on one leg. This is gimmick shit, most commonly employed by people who don't have the drive to put in the time and work to do real exercises that actually improve athletic performance.

[@AK12255]

@@orionsimerl6539 Well not just the core but the hips, knees, and ankles all help balance the body so this exercise will still work somewhat for balance

Great exercise! But if you just stand still on one leg the weight is not moving so no need for the rubber band? It only gets chaotic when you start walking.

[@johnvishwas9117]

I didn’t have a squat rack in my previous apartment gym. So I used to load the barbell on the bench, so like a cheat good morning to lift it, get up, and walk a few yards to a space where I could back squat. And just walking with heavy weights while being conscious of your core helps build that strength.

[@5thBeatle]

Question: Why is a band required to hold a kettlebell when it has a handle of its own? Is there something about the weight's center of gravity being closer to the ground that increases the effectiveness?

[@CeroAshura]

The band makes the movement unstable, when you exert force up and down with your legs the band gets loaded with elastic energy and makes it shift with more force than what the weight of the kettlebell would cause on its own. The same applies to hanging band attached weights to your barbell.

[@jonnyincognito899]

Need the band ? No, but he called it the "Chaotic" Carry... chaotic because the band jostles the kettlebell around which provides extra challenge.
