As a physical therapist… nah lol. Like maybe there’s some benefit but it’s nothing that can’t be accomplished with normal simpler and safer movements where you’re actually using equipment as intended. This is pretty transparently an exercise designed to increase views haha.
As a regular gym goer, the is always some older guy trying to reinvent the wheel and do some sort of crazy exercise using a piece of equipment not in the way it's intended. I don't think he's doing this for views, i think this is something he does often at the gym.
I didn't say they were good exercised 😂 but that guy has fucked legs. Going by how smooth, pale and thin they are something definitely happened to them.
He could only be working lateral rotators with that movement. Since it looks to me like his adductors aren't tight or causing range of motion restriction, my money is on "he's an idiot" as the most plausible explanation for the video
Idiot for sure, lol. My thought is he must have seen a couple ladies using the machine like that(even though they don't look as crazy and move more controlled) and told himself "I can look way better doing that" 🤔
I was going to say, while it looks silly, it also looks like a legitimately good exercise. Huge amount of dynamic flexibility. He might not be using the equipment as intended but he looks like he’s getting a great stretch.
If this is true, I can't see how this could have any benefits over normal exercises. The best way to isolate leg muscles has been established for a long time.
It's crazy how fast you lose muscle, i've been hs for 3 months beause of a Talus fracture and an ATFL ligament rupture and my left calve is so freaking weak now ...
I truly thought this comments section would be full of people dunking on the guy. I'm seeing a lot of people calling it out. This is healing, appreciate you ❤️
Wish recording people in the gym wasn't a thing. Mind your damn business. I've seen people doing interesting things in the gym before but couldn't imagine not only recording them, but posting it online
Training for the long nights with the mom of whoever filmed him and put it on the Internet. Looks like he’s getting ready for the deep dunk dive on her
