Nick have you seen the one where a man is doing a leg press and incline dumbbell press at the same time? It annoys me how personal trainers these days can't keep things simple, my friend (who wants to gain muscle) recently hired a trainer in a commercial gym and had him doing crappy exercises like swiss ball db curls and lateral raises. Thank god he's now doing squats and deadlifts with me in my gym. I’ve seen that picture before on another forum and its definitely real.

This is one of the reasons why its hard to find decent trainers and is a good advert for Poliquin (PICP) trained coaches. Being a PICP trainer does NOT a good PT guarantee, and as numbers swell unfortunately I am seeing a deterioration in the overall quality, but the basic teaching is second to none and the focus on what really counts (hard training for real results) is always paramount. As for the photo - I think it is real. I can't write write what I really think but you know my training well enough to read my mind on this one Vaseem!

The wally in the video (who funnily enough lacks biceps!) is bad enough, but at least that exercise is not going to kill anyway, but the picture of someone squatting with a barbell on a swiss ball is completely shocking.....that is so dangerous that it staggers me that anyone could contemplate doing such a thing Is this for real?
