Description

You are lying down, your back on a Swiss ball, knees bent, feet on the ground, arms bent and at 90° abduction on the side, hands towards the ceiling holding a weighted barbell. You will extend your arms towards the ceiling, and then a third person positioned next to you will remove one of the weights from the barbell to destabilize you, and you will have to resist this force to maintain your stability. You then return to the initial position and start extending your arms again. The weight is then placed back on the barbell for a new destabilization.
