the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread
Someone else actually used the squat rack. Who would have thought!
They had left 2 plates on it (20kg each side), and they used the bitch pad, but still!
99% of the time, I'm the only one who ever uses it. The hall is like a ghost town most of the time, and when there is people in there, they use the bikes / treadmill / occasional free weights, and the rest of the equipment, but never use the rack.

Or pausing at the top

I think they're also pretty good for improving Mobility for squats
I occasionally do them as a warm up, holding at the bottom for a few seconds to get a good stretch

Single leg on a box/block holding a DB ftw

Just do it next to something you can hold onto with the other hand (which you'd work out by yourself pretty quick anyway lol)

I bench like that occasionally. Haven't for a while though.
You lose a few kg because you have to worry more about balance.
Dunno what pros/cons there are of benching that way . . . Guess you would use more stabiliser muscles, though that's kinda offset by lack of weight and probably an increase chance of injury

I don't see the point in it.. just turns it into an awkward exercise, dont see why it needs to be complicated. Just like people benching on a fitball

Not sure about the chest thing . . . but feet up would require more stabilisers.
Might use it as an accessory.
Yeah, DB pressing on a Swiss ball is pretty full on. Good fun too
