Here is an exclusive look at one of the advanced torso training exercises found in the new Combat Core DVD.

Typical Abdominal Strength Training Means:

Hanging Leg Lifts

Issue: In sport and real life, movement is not restricted to patterns. When you develop athletes, if you restrict their training to only externally loaded patterned movements, you will be missing the point of preparation. We must bridge the gap from typical strength training to SPP and sport execution.

Chaotic Abdominal Strength Training Means:

Hanging Soccer Kicks

Benefits:

– Coordinated movements of the torso and trunk. Putting the lat (responsible for protecting and stabilizing the shoulders and spine) on tension while engaging movements of the trunk.

– Random movements

– Foot / Eye coordination

– Endurance of the upper back and grip musculature

– Fun
