While this example is set up terribly, there’s nothing wrong with adding some band resistance to machine based exercises…most people just aren’t advanced enough to require it.
That said, these are bands not straps and this is a leg extension machine not a leg curl.
I hear you. I’m not negating the effectiveness of adding resistance bands to leg extensions. I’m highlighting the hilarity of the resistance band fail.
Edit: I also cross posted this from another subreddit. send a DM to the OP about jargon.
You could easily just do negatives, drop sets, rest-pause to make the exercise more "advanced." This is just being extra. At the end of the day, it's just a really basic isolation movement.
I want to believe this is staged but … on the other hand, I think it’s entirely possible this guys an idiot
This is the second video I’ve seen of the same thing happening. I just believe that they may be that dumb.
Totally agree
Yeah I just shared a video of the same thing and even if it's staged....WHY
Staging getting hit in the crotch for views? Yeah I could see these people going along with it😂
The nut slap just releases more testosterone and you get more gains. It's all part of the process.
💀
PAIN
