Yesterday I did my 2nd Body Pump class ever and things went better than anticipated.
There are several problems though:
- tempo doesn't allow for proper form, so people do only quarter squats and half ranges for DL
- which retard ever invented doing a combination of bent over rows (which I can do with 70kg max) and clean+press in 1 track?? Militaries are compound movements for the shoulders! I got hurt the first time I tried bodypump and had to walk out of the class 2 years ago. Now I was warned in advance and only took a piddly weight of 3,75kg for each side but I felt that I was wasting my time on the rows just in order to be able to do the presses.
In general, I wonder what people's thoughts are on BodyPump classes. Did a search for them but nobody ever seems to do them. Yet, they are immensely popular all over the world it seems. Not by true fitness enthousiasts?
