What's the stupidest exercise you've ever seen

Activating my core by curling while standing on a bosu ball or a dumbbell. Why do retards do this?

>>42730429
Some fucking moron walked up to the curl rack, loaded up the bar and proceeded to balance it on his neck. He looked immediately panicked and kept trying sit down while we were all screaming out of concern. Eventually he gave up and put the bar back. Poor guy was red-faced and out of breath afterwards.

>>42730616
Idk why but I always fall for this.... Maybe it's because I envision a curl rack as the rack for all the various dumbells.

Shadowboxing in the free weight section with 0.5 kg dumbells

Some dude wrapped some chains around his legs then hopped over to the Roman chair to do leg raises. My friends and I refer to him as Jacob Marley now.

I'm convinced the only purpose of it is to stick your ass out to the entire gym. I tried it and by the time you're getting any semblance of glute activation you're having to grip the bars for dear life to prevent yourself from just... standing up.

Ok, can someone explain to me what type of assisted pull up machine you guys all have?
I keep seeing weird ass descriptions.

This is a assisted pull up machine.

>>42730862
>Implying California isn't objectively the best state

>>42733882
Not that guy, I have seen the same setup but instead of a cushion there is a foot placement so you are standing and the weight assists.

a girl stand in it when someone else is using it sounds like an intentional thing to mock the person doing pullups.

The glute part lost me, I think it wasn't a pull up assistance machine

I have never used an assisted pullup, how does it work???

>>42734062
>>42734050
does this not work your glutes?

>>42734762
It's a machine that has a platform that pushes up.
You kneel on it and it pushes up, making you lighter

It's not a stupid workout but whenever I see anyone walking backwards on a treadmill I cringe

>>42735147
>It's not a stupid workout
>walking backwards
What?

Is this what gyms are like in big cities?

>>42735171

It has benefits, especially for athletes. I coach highschool footballs, and we would routinely do this with our DB's.

At the gym tho, fuck off with that shit.

>>42734050
I see this all the time.
Its really fucking stupid, but it's a machine that's barely used anyway so its like, why bother telling them to do something else.

If they'd ask me why I care, that would be the ultimate counter, I'd be burned for weeks probably. Best not to bother.

If you do enough reps and push hard enough weight with your foot: a bit.
Out of all my glute exercises this one feels the least effective though.

>>42733848
Hips should be lower, he's hypertending his posterior chain. Don't diddy like this.

>>42735882
Bitch just lift, you're gonna look amazing even after noob gains, plus if you eat the same as you do currently whilst lifting you could plow though that belly fat.

>>42730645
>>42730727
Kek I do both of these, except in normal gym attire and with 5lb dumbbells.

But that is because I actually do train muay thai.

>>42734736
And? If you want to hit your core, do planks or crunches. If you want to hit your biceps, do regular standing curls. Why the fuck would you do the same exercise but on a bosu ball? You won't be working your core as hard as a plank or crunch (minimal work done on your core as a whole), and you won't be able to curl as much since your main focus on going to be on not falling over. It's fucking stupid and accomplishes nothing.

>>42735882
but you already are big

>>42732394

Yeah I used to lift there. Moved to cbus.

Squats.

>>42737670
He is slightly hyper-extending, but no, his hips should not be lower. The deadlift is not a squat.

>>42737670
depending on his hip structure, a lower hip position may cause more hyperextension
