Guess who was in my gym!
So...I'm w/ a client yesterday and I notice this big fukker doing some really funky core exercises. I so wanted to go up and talk to him just because of the exercises he was doing. II had no idea who it was....but I knew he wasn't just joe blow. But I was busy w/ someone so I couldn't.
Anyway...I find out today that it was Paul Chek!
Does anyone know the freaking odds of Paul Chek being in my gym???
And I missed him.
My life sucks.

W8, I can feel for you. That reminds me of the time, oh, about two years ago when I went to see Steve Vai play in Detroit.
Having been a fan of his since '86, I was TOTALLY geeked up to meet the guy, get an autograph, talk to him....Oh, hold on... I DID GET TO MEET HIM AND ALL THAT COOL SHIT
So, guess I can't really sympathize with you on the same level.
Is there a moral to this, other than you're probably gonna kick my ass if you ever meet me? Seriously though, sorry ya didn't get to meet the big guy, it's fantasitic to meet those you look up to.Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

...and you must be a "bodybuilder"Originally posted by Prince
I do not see the point of this.
Just the fact he has the core strength to be able to do that is bloody impressive. That is the point. He is front-squatting on a freaking ball!!!

He looks like a short man. Lower center of gravity. Has nothing to do with core strength.
Get a 6'-4" person doing that and that would be core strength!!!

What does front squatting 135lb on a ball have to do with core strength?
I know I couldn't do it but it's because of balance not core strength.Cool

Well...why don't you try it and tell me what kinda stabilizers you use? Do you not think that balancing on a ball in itself (never mind front squatting 45's) uses your core musculature?

You would use more core muscle I agree but once you've mastered the balancing part, It'd be a piece of cake.Originally posted by w8lifter

Not trying to be a smart ass but if you've ever tried to do any kind of balancing act, once you get the hang of it, the use of core muscles is greatly reduced.
I would say it took him a long time to master it, but I also think anyone could do it if they put the time into it.Cool

No way, Jose! (w8)... I can do a lot of flexible things such as Kick boxing and stretch to a full split but on a ball with 135 lbs.? I do NOT have a death wish! So go ahead guys!
On the other hand, I got a better idea! I'lll lay on the ball and my client (female, thank you!!!) can work on her squats that way!
Damn, that was written write out of DP's book!

One summer, as a teen, I got a job sanding the floor in an old school. I had to use this orbital floor sander, kind of looked like a lawn mower but with no wheels.
Anyway, you could use muscle to make the thing go from side to side but once you got the hang of it, you could use just a finger with the right balance it go on its own, I got good enough that I could actually stand on it and shift my wight from side to side to make the thing work.
All I'm saying is once you get the balance thing down, just like skiing or riding a bike, it becomes second nature and takes no effort at all.Cool

As far as his stunt goes, I wouldn't attemt it simply because of what could happen to you if you fell backwards.
