The guy is just making his workout fun.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Equipment misuse aside, that's gotta be pretty good for all the little stabilizing muscles that power lifters ignore

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's not really even misusing it, it's his form that's the problem. It doesn't even really look like there's much weight on it. It almost seems like he's just trying increase his dancing muscles to increase his stamina for long dancing sessions at music festivals. That's dedication.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Really? I guess I find myself worrying about circular movements on the elbows or moving any equipment rapidly.

But you're right, those muscles are mega important. The ones we can't really isolate but are holding our whole body together. Those are the ones I used to fuck up dancing 😆

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If rapid circular movements with the elbows were that dangerous, we couldn't play tennis.

Any athletic motion can result in an overuse injury if progressed too quickly with inadequate recovery.

oof. yeah, tennis elbow can get entire cities wiped off the map

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are you talking about? Powerlifters primarily do compound barbell movements, the ones that use the most stablizing muscles. Are you thinking of the people that only do isolation movements with machines?

Regardless, while it's harmless silly fun, I'd the weight in those cables is light enough for him to be able to do a Fortnite dance, then it's not really creating enough of a stimulus for strength gain or muscle growth.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, that is what I was thinking of. Are those not what we call power lifters?

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Bodybuilders

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Powerlifting is a sport where participants compete to lift the most weight across the bench press, barbell back squat, and deadlift. The typical training regimen includes those exercises and similar secondary movement patterns. Machines have a place in isolating weak spots.

The type of gymgoer you're referring to doesn't really fit into a "category," but "gym bro" is close enough.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, the category you're thinking of is bodybuilders - specifically bodybuilders from the 80s when machines became popular.

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the heavy compounds and dumbbell exercises have made their way back into today's standard bodybuilding training.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Hence why I specified 80s bodybuilders

[–] s@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My brain defaulted to reading the post title to the tune of “Mr. Brightside”

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Oh shit, that works! It does need music

Shoot, yeah it's catbox.moe

Lot of countries block it but it's the best host I can find direct links and no ads

[–] Linearity@infosec.pub 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why would countries block it?

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So Australia did because a recording of the Christchurch shooting was uploaded there. Ireland and UK blocked it when they rolled out their first major porn regulations in 2020. Afganistan blocked it because it blocks all porn. Basically the site allows hosting everything except CP and many places don't like that.

[–] Linearity@infosec.pub 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ah yes next they should ban instant messaging because technically you can share that stuff there /s

Wait…….

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Yeah they've been horrific about overstepping. Sucks because some of the countries I prefer to frequent with my VPN follow suit despite being outside the fourteen eyes countries.

Sometimes I wonder if they're just trying to block every service that has so adds and works well
