He was most likely referencing these flavors.
Cherry Glacier Gatorade

You should probably just get a trainer and get the basics down. Most trainers are fucking idiots, but judging from your OP, they will probably know more than you. (legs and shoulder presses are a weird combo)
Quote by MadMartigan
Not that weird a combo. Well. If he’s doing them in the same day all the damn time then it’s weird. Putting it together into one exercise isn’t weird though. Dumbbell hip thrusters are a great way to combine a squat pattern with a shoulder press. That sounds too advanced for this dude though.
Quote by DamonX
I'm assuming that he's doing a workout of legs with shoulder presses tossed in.
As for combining squats and shoulder presses in the same exercise... I'm not a fan. Any amount of weight that your shoulders can handle will be insufficient to provide the adequate resistance to work the muscles of the upper thighs. Full body exercises are kind of en vogue these days but I prefer to isolate muscle groups
Quote by DamonX
What you are describing is actually 100% vertebral movement. Do you know what vertebrae are?
Oh wait... Your mom told you this? And she's a "doc"? Well then, let's all listen because we all know general practitioners have extensive knowledge when it comes to exercise techniques....
What you're describing is just a sit up. By putting your legs up on a chair, all you are doing is decreasing the range of motion while immobilizing the pelvis so all the movement is accomplished by the lumbar vertebrae. So you are actually minimizing the work done by the rectus abdominus, while maximizing the risk to the spine.
Doing crunches with your legs up on a chair is fine, but doing full sit ups in that position keeps the risk the same but decreases the reward.
Dammit... I swore I wasn't going to weigh in on these types of threads....

Well the face should listen... Especially when the face is borrowing comebacks from 90's sitcoms.
What's the matter? Too many "science-y" words for you?
Tell you what... contact me privately and I'll give you the "abdominal exercises for dummies" version. Maybe then you could post an actual picture of yourself as an avatar and not some idealization of a 14 year old's wet dream from 1989.

Eh. It’s more of an exercise designed around athleticism and explosion. It’s a great move because you have to utilize the core. It’s also good for overloading a DB Press because you can fall downward into the squat and explode out to generate more power. Program I follow has them built into concentric and eccentric training. It’s not a more meant to emphasize leg development. It’s in a similar vein to a clean and jerk but is far more manageable for someone like me with some injury history and lack of certain flexibility.

Jesus Christ. Here comes Serene with another essay. You must have skipped the part where I said I use controlled movement patterns when I do utilize DB thrusters (use a different word. I know what hipthrusters are. Use them often. Best glut focused exercise out there.). 5 second eccentrics or concentrics. In other words. Controlled movement patterns.
And I doubt a physical therapist would suggest something to destroy joints which is the background of the guy who incorporated them into his program. They aren’t a primary shoulder exercise. Just a supplemental one. There’s a common misconception you need large weights to build muscle all the time. You don’t. Especially with shoulders. There’s a time for heavy weights with shoulders but they are also responsive to higher repetitions and TuT. Furthermore, the programs I follow aren’t designed solely around aesthetic “bodybuilding” muscle. My goal is building muscle that is functionally athletic. That means different movement patterns and ultimately different goals than strictly bodybuilding. I have no intention of being a “swole” meat head with zero flexibility. And the last I’d ever do is take advice from bro-science bodybuilders either.
And if you’re still thinking I don’t do primary compound exercises,
“Professor” stop. I have no need of your weirdly vague condescension that’s vomitted out in your typical style. I squat. I deadlift. I hipthrust. I know the “basics” quite well. Have for years. My form is fine. Thanks for your concern.
CrossFit? What the fuck are you on about? I never mentioned doing CrossFit programs. I don’t really follow its principles either. Kipping pull-ups are total nonsense for example but it has some good ideas and yes terrible ones as well. As does bodybuilding and the amount of bro-science behind it that helps no one.
Quote by MadMartigan
Holy fuck you really know how to vomit words no one ever gives a shit about reading. If you’re gonna be such a bitch, self-edit more. You don’t need a novel when the final passive aggressive paragraph will suffice.
And coming to you for advice in anything isn’t a wise decision for anyone.
Quote by Magical_felix
You should always dread your workout, get high off it midway through, then feel absolutely euphoric afterwards.
If you don't dread your workout, you're not hitting it hard enough.
Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

Don’t even remember it. At all. Must have been shite advice. What I do remember is a passive aggressive whiny PM you sent once filled with narcissism.
Do I still have it though? Nah. I don’t keep PMs that are years old. Neither do I post them in forums like a child. Hence why you are a creepy little fucker.

That's pretty rich, even for you.
I'm a hypocritical asshole, but I still refrained from posting that whiny PM you sent me a while back when I posted stupid pictures and memes in response to your paragraphs of nothing.
