I never comment on Youtube videos, but I have to make an exception here. The muscles of the core perform all sorts of functions - flexion and extension of the spine, rotation, anti-rotation, isometric strength and stability. Smacking your partner in the gut with a heavy object isn't exercising any of these functions. If you want stronger core/abdominal muscles, try some plank variations, do some heavy compound barbell exercises. This isn't intelligent training, it's pointless brutality.
@TheBackflipStudio It strengthens the inner abdominal wall, which is the part of the abs used most for taking hits to the body like in boxing or martial arts sparring. It doesn't give you cut abs though since it's for the inner abdominal wall as opposed to the outer wall.

It's a 12 lb medicine ball. The guy throwing the ball on me is 6'3" so that will give you some perspective on the height. I'd say it only take a few weeks to build up to that. The inner abdominal wall develops fairly quickly and once you get the timing down, it's not that hard.
@rmsolympic1 Thanks! You could just lie on your back and toss the medicine up and catch it with your abs, but you wouldn't be able to replicate someone throwing it down with force (or at least not in any way that I can think of).
That is just plain scary never realised women's abs are that strong why even an unbreakable umbrella would bend on that.lol But just shows what training can do to a womans body wow
I remember doing something like this training for boxing. by the way, just finished your book and want to say it was quite an good/amusing read. I think I'm going to try to take up a martial art.
Because of the wider surface area, given an equal amount of force it's easier to take the hit from the medicine ball. That being said, you can generate more force because you're throwing the ball down. Plus, because you're lying on the floor, there is no give, so all the force goes into the abdomen.
Wow - amazing exercise and amazing abs! Hope you will post some more. It would be great to see other (longer) clips of how you train such great abs. Thanks.

Would any weight do the trick?
like if I were to grab a 10 pound metal WEIGHT, lay on the ground toss it up in the air and have it hit my gut.

@lorioco Great combination of beauty and toughness! Question: how can I replicate this exercise by myself using a medicine ball?

ouch, does anyone know how long it takes to be able to do that? and what weight/height dropped to begin with?

i know its a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question, but how does that compare with actually being punched?

Thanks. That was kind of what I figured. Your training partner does seem to be hurling the ball at you with some force!
Does he ever get carried away?
deadlift99 3 years ago
Not really. The person on the bottom tells the thrower whether they want more or less force, so I've never had that problem.
