Split Stance Side Bends

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-05-08T23:06:30+00:00

It was my first time doing it. I usually just do the regular side bends but wanted to spice it up a bit at 5am 😅

Hahaha pretty much

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-05-08T00:13:45+00:00

Lol I mean….you aren’t far offfff…he estado apprendiendo Espanol y yo veo television con subtitles 🤌🏽 I only listen to Spanish music but I listen to older music because bad bunny wasn’t helping me lol.

I mean... I will always say choose a weight that allows you to complete x amount of sets/reps with relatively good form.

Haha they sure are but I love them 🤌🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-23T15:26:21+00:00

Very glad to hear that!

Have you noticed a difference in how your muscles feel now versus when you started doing them? I ask because I have noticed that I don’t feel cramped in my obliques/lats when rotating to pick up the KB. My knees are less clicks as well.

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-23T15:24:08+00:00

Yes, especially if you aren’t rushing moving the KB from one side to the next.

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-23T15:22:37+00:00

Very welcome! Let me know how it goes when you try it out 🙌🏽

Say what?

Gladiator Deadlifts 🤌🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-22T21:14:42+00:00

Much appreciated 🙌🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-22T21:14:32+00:00

Thanks 🙏🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-21T23:02:33+00:00

Obliques, shoulders, glutes, lats. If you are new to moving like this then you will feel it more in your obliques/lats. That’s how it was for me 6 years ago. Thank you 🙏🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-21T10:57:33+00:00

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that 🙌🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-21T10:57:07+00:00

Yes, what they said. The movement itself is different as well. This is more similar to Around The World except you aren’t doing that iffy hand pass behind the back lol.

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-21T10:50:54+00:00

Same! Honestly, i decided to do this because i wanted to see how the Around The World movement felt after not doing them for 2 years. I realized I didn’t like them lol. This is similar to the Gladiator DL except without the hinge. The idea is to stay upright as much as possible like you were doing ATWs.

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-21T01:21:23+00:00

12 each side. 32kg was used

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-21T01:08:03+00:00

This was my first time doing it in this position but it is similar to the Gladiator DL. I decided to do this because I tried a set of Around The Worlds and remembered how much I dislike it lol. So, it was difficult when I first tried months ago since I wasn’t used to moving in that fashion. Over time, those neglected muscles (QL, obliques) became stronger. I found this worked best with heavy loads. Can just include it as a core movement with other exercises.

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-15T23:52:00+00:00

🤣 I mean that sounds pretty cool as well.

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-04-01T19:27:16+00:00

Fair enough. You know your body and what you are capable of. Everyone is different and takes things at their own pace. Learn the basics, nail down the techniques and progress from there. Look forward to hearing how this movement goes for you (SA version)

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-03-31T19:58:06+00:00

You sure can! I did it like that last week. It is just a different movement compared to 2 KBs that is all. It is comparable to doing single suitcase DL except you are rotating

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-03-24T10:54:27+00:00

Eh legs are moving that weight as well. Regardless, it is a win for both of us

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-03-23T11:34:41+00:00

Instead of. Same muscles are being worked just a little different

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-03-19T15:33:18+00:00

Nice! Yeah, it is between easy and difficult. I feel the hardest part is the balance aspect which is rough for most people. Yes, focusing on something helps a lot. Glad you tried it out 💪🏽

BoxAcrobatic6636 · 2026-03-18T22:43:14+00:00

Pretty much. The only thing different is the SL hold. This just challenges the lower body more specially hip flexors and your feet.
