I also think it is a great ergonomic aid for keeping the hip flexors loose (in place of a chair). And no, none of that makes any sense at all. If I'm ever in a gym where the trainer is using rational like that, I am going to use my "over-trained shoulders" to punch the guy in the face. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth.

Not only are rotational exercises contraindicated in a rehab setting (which is the clientèle they target), but how can you possibly strengthen anything while standing on a swiss ball? And I'm all for foam rolling and self myofascial release, but this is taking it too far: http://www.deskjockeyfitness.com/images/exercises/FoamRollShoulderStretch3.jpg -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth.
