Friday Humor: How President Obama Can Improve His Workouts
Via Omid Malekan of Visual Stories blog,
In a video leaked by someone who happened to be working out at the same hotel gym as President Obama, the world got a peak into the exercise routine of the most powerful man on earth. The President is sorrounded by some of the best and smartest advisors in the country, but apparently none of them is a personal trainer, as his approach and technique leave a lot to be desired. But he is in luck, because my colleagues and I at Precision Physical Therapy & Fitness are here to help.
To start with, lets look at the President’s seated shoulder press:
The first problem here is the limited range. By not bringing the weights all the way down, the President is not getting the full benefit of the exercise, nor is he working on improving his range of motion. This leads to a lack of flexibility, which much like the Republican Party Platform, is not an effective strategy.
Second, take a look at how the President’s lower back sits against the seat, and how there is a gap there bigger than in last year’s federal budget. This is a common problem that develops when we try to lift weights that are too heavy, and can lead to back injuries and other problems. The smart way to go is to lower the weight and make sure your back sits flush against the seat, or better yet, to do the exercise seated on a ball while using you core to sit upright.
Next, lets look at the President’s walking lunge, curl & press:
This is an excellent exercise, as it hits everything from the hamstrings and glutes to the biceps and deltoids. It also develops balance and stability. Our only advice here is to slow down (especially during the eccentric or negative movement) and to try to make like the current Congress’ approval ratings, and get really low.
Next, the basic arm raise:
The President is going way too fast, and like passage of his Affordable Care Act, seemingly more concerned with getting the exercise over with than doing it right. The right way to do this exercise is in a slow and controlled manner, pausing at the top and always turning your hands so you look like Bill Clinton giving a stump speech. In other words, with your thumbs up!
Next is a step-up combined with a knee-raise.
This is another excellent exercise, but the execution can be better. For starters the height of the bench, much like the UV setting on John Boehner tanning bed, is too high. Once again the President should slow down, and pause at the top with his lifted leg parallel to the ground. Whenever doing an exercise that involves taking a foot off the ground and then putting it back down, its important to make like you are managing a political crisis and focus on a soft landing.
Proper exercise is not just a series of movements you try to get over with as soon as possible, but rather a state of mind. To that end, what you do in between sets and when resting is just as important as the lifts themselves. Take for example how the President puts down his dumbbells:
Like America’s recent policies in the Mid East, his posture here is weak and dangerous. You should never bend your spine like that, and always pick up and put down objects by bending at the knees.
And remember, exercise is supposed to be fun. If you are working out because you feel like you should, you are not going to last too long, and might start to look like this guy:

Long walk. Short pier.
In shark infested water!
OK, try walking anywhere near the White House, but some rando ends up in a hotel gym with POTUS?
Good point. Ever seen Jurassic Park? I figure they thew a gay goat with an Ipad into the TObamma exhibit.
With burning oil floating..
Near Fukashima..
The sight and sound of Barry breathing heavily would send us running out of the room screaming like a girl.
You didn't LIFT that!
If you go back and watch that workout vid again, the first 10 seconds as he ponders over the weight rack trying to figure out what the fuck a kilo is, are pure gold

Hey... the numbers were in Polish
And without a teleprompter! He's an American Beauty.... Paging Ricky Fitts - my workout's over. Bring on the weed, dude...
What a fucking girly man.
lol exactly my thoughts. I was gonna write something but you covered it adequately.
-Chumbz.
$10 says he will be the first billionaire ex president.
Ironic, hub?
You see Obama's show of strength above. Going down about 8" on dumbell shoulder presses.
Here's Putin launching some people practicing judo.

Is there any wonder why he's the weakest guy in the room, when it comes to diplomacy?
Fluffer in chief needs to put down the big boy weights, and hook backup with Tony Little and his gazelle!
You can do it!

Perhaps he should consider steriods. Gentlemen, I give you broscience
There's no way....NO WAY, he DIDNT know some dude was sitting there pointing a camera at him. There's NO WAY, NO WAY POTUS wasn't surrounded by SS who knew exactly what was going on.
COMPLETELY STAGED!!
Staged? as in trying to bluff Putin?
Those 5 lb dumbbells were probably fake like everything else about this fraud. How embarassing, that workout looked like it was designed for a 6 year old girl
It's a blatant "I'm a buttslammer workout" designed to attract fellow fudgepackers at the gym. Fuck You Obama
I had a torn rotator cuff surgery and was working out with bigger weights than that when starting in rehab. Looks like he was looking for single digit weighs like 1lb, 2lb, etc. I drink beer in mugs that weigh more than that. LOL! Hell my wife even lifts more than he does. LOL! Putin could probably bench press him, with one arm.
I think that workout is only meant to keep him in shape for his mom jeans.
Lose 10 lbs ugly fat - cut off its head..
The gym is nothing more than his cruising spot for hook ups.
I think Larry Craig is his personal trainer.
Put your foot gently into the next bathroom stall....exhale...wait....wait...wait
Seriously, he lifts weights like a soccer mom. What a pansy.
his cia mind controlled mind is real busy.
thinkin of the hot sauna and all the muscle bound polish boys huffing and a puffing in it init.
Somebody is going to photoshop Reggie into that last gif.
Hard to workout when you've got no backbone.
Moochele got enough back for both of em.
Baby got BACK!
Got shears?
You could fit a moose in that caboose.
That caboose has its own zipcode.
The Secret Service's physical fitness program is all about the Russian Kettle Bell. How ironic.
Are those shake weights?

Reggie Love glutes workout!
he is SO gay. This had to be leaked to show that he is not gay,he's a manly man, he works out. Bad move, because he works out like a gay man trying to prove he's not gay.
Obama 'works out' WAY gayer than Richard Simmons, fucking poofter.
Richard Simmons (who is 65 and probably straight, I wouldn't be surprised) could kick O'bomb-a's ass with ease.
come on guys cut the gay hate.
interweb bullying has to stop i mean if not the transgenders and the gays who is gonna adpt all those kids from ukrainia and syria.
Mongo straight!
............:-)
Amazing some skinny fucking smoking clown that works out with 10lb dumbbells can be in charge of so much death and destruction, not to mention what's coming.
And probably has a $500k a year trainer that does nothing but wipe the dumbbells and equipment clean with anti-bacterial tissues.
This is stupid. What kind of person would really want to spend time watching that pathetic video and make fun of it. It's just cringeworthy. Leave it alone.
It's too gay. I had to shut it off.
'cept that they are GIFs. Caught you in BS mode
"............the most powerful man on earth".
The writer of this story is either
A) Completely disallusioned as to what the most powerful man on earth is
B) Was sniffing glue or huffing whilst writing this article
C) A close associate of Reggie and Co.
Those were carbon fiber dumbbells.
man of steal
When a person presents false illusions, credibility is lost overtime. I really hope he continues the narcissism community coordinator approach.
that video of him ovulating while lifting weights like a pansy is all the proof you need understand that he is nothing what a typical shiftless ghetto loafer who happens to be missing a couple of chromosomes
Old video. My friend.
My seventy year old wife uses dumbbells that big. What a whimp.

Putin laughing his ass off as he judo chops and flips another grizzly bear without his shirt off...
A lot of bending exercises for O, you have to bend when painting red lines...
Testosterone.
Does he even need to do the Bending Over exercise? Those muscles are already sore and it's not from exercising.
I'm surprised Zero wasn't wearing a leotard with a pink ruffle skirt.
I'm kind of embarrassed actually. I usually wear my camo sports bra and shorts when I do p90x Arms &Shoulders with Mr. Depending on the exercise, I do 8-10 lbs and he does 25-35lb. Damn, I can whip his sorry ass.
Miffed;-)
What is an Obama ? Sorry i'm Dutch <);o)
It's US slang for retarded narcissistic failure in epic proportions.
Obama keeps his girlish figure by pumping sausage with Reggie Love and Bobby Titcomb.
Occasionally, he will even give head to Michael Lavaughn Robinson......if "she" is at home in the WH.....
gay.....check
sissy....check
weak....check
not an American.......check
if he was shot by a drone, I would not cry.
vv
Don't be so hard on him. This kind of work out is designed to improve his golf swing
the all new obarmy meatless gym work out
awkward,clumsy,lacklustre,slapdash,feckless,bone idle,indolent,gormless,flacid,spasmodic,wanked out cock sucking faggot.
"Boneless Chicken" comes to mind.
It's fucking Newman again, enjoy your posts. Keep posting.
Christ-in-a-car-seat, it's President Mom Jeans ...
I am no fan of Obama but for his age he is pretty trim. Compared to other Americans' waist size he is in very good shape.
He should however start doing a lot of knee bends because one of these days he is going to have to duck and duck fast, the way he's going.
Gag...I'd rather watch a video of Hillary trying to seduce Bubba in Capri pants..
I just threw up in my mouth.
Does this guy look like a fucking sissy or what?
crackhead
Good humor! People are so wrapped up in "virtual" values of what they see and take in. Look at Dr. Oz this week at the Senate. so captivating that it made people forget they do have an off/on and channel switcher buttons on their TV. The lady senator was funny as she just needed to vent and chose the floor of the Senate to entertain us:)
http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2014/06/dr-oz-and-senate-and-now-for-some...
This is really scary out there today as people can't tell the difference between virtual and real world values, "The Grays"...even the White House has now with their communications bot has resorted to the use of "junk science"...it's just another bot in the wall.

I don't get why people older than 40 don't juice if they can afford it, your quality of life sky-rockets.
When I hit 55 ~ 60 im gona be taking HGH for the hell of it, no point not to at that age, younger than 40 is a bit risky though , you don't want to grow into some kind of malformed giant, but over 40~60, its not a bad idea , you wont hurt/feel pain much, you will heal fast, you will be strong and healthy, you dont have to be a juice head, but a little HGH therapy at those later years is definitely a good thing, just enough to keep everything from falling apart haha
By then, who knows maybe they will find a cheap way to avoid all the negative side-effects.
So glad we have a good sense of humor ZH members.
"The President is sorrounded by some of the best and smartest advisors in the country "
Best and Smartest? Now that's a real debatable statement based on his recent track record!
