[ImDa1TruG]

more core workouts when you get the chance plzzzz =)

[seltersss]

Nice to see you still working hard. I'm cheering for you to be World's Strongest Man some day!

[Sirkelsag666]

I would love to see more gym workouts, like the one that's out there with back and chest for example... :)

[TomiAUT]

Nice :-) Your gym looks cool, it seams there is no "fancy" equipment.

Keep it on!

[MariusGuitar2007]

Why don't you get a better camera? Just wondering! Love your videos! Keep it up!

[BenChinnyRobinson]

It's nice to see that even the big guys need to do the little bits, 99.9% of vids on here are 'p500lb this' or '400kg that', it's nice to see some stuff that anyone could do.

[genek64]

This is unbelievable - the size and strength!!!

[StrengthCoachChet]

After reading some of the comments here, I think you have to remember the man is also a businessmen who just opened his own gym. Showing you the different types of lifts that are possible is promotion, so lets go easy on the man.

[StrengthCoachChet]

External obliques are the strongest of all of the ab muscles because they are lateral and attach to the femur medially. I used to train mine just like this, but with a scissor stance which is easier than what he is doing.

Great core exercise! Strongmen need strong core, not for aesthetics...

[greyhk2]

Guess even Derek works out for aesthetic reasons. Never thought I'd see him do body weight and light dumbbell stuff for abs and obliques.

[x3huesos]

@greyhk2 doubt its just for aesthetic reasons. I'd imagine a strong core is very, very important to a strongman competitor.

[greyhk2]

@x3huesos Yeah but deads, squats and strongman exercises will get you a strong core, not side crunches.

[SaltusEtiam]

@greyhk2 The first exercise is about balance as well. Also it's good to diversify how you go at your muscles. No matter how effective a lift is, mixing it up is always helpful.

[x3huesos]

@greyhk2 true it those exercises will also work your hams, triceps, biceps and shoulders etc. yet you would still work them all seprately to further strengthen them just like abdominals right?

[knelly19]

@greyhk2 Weighted side bends work the interior obliques which wrap around your wast like a internal weight belt. You will notice I dont always wear a weight belt when overhead pressing. I can do this becasue the core work I do. The work with the "rings" is quite difficult, it work on stabilizers nessisary when carrying huge amounts of weight very quickly. Football players dont just scrimmage all day, sprinters dont just sprint in training and basball dont just hit and catch baseballs.

Wasn't expecting to see this, disappointed there's no 900lb deadlifts...

[knelly19]

@dt76028 I've got plenty of video's of me deadlfting 800 - 900 lbs.

[Craigster45]

trx bands are seriousely the best way to work core.

[Dreamscanner]

If he just lost about 8% of his bodyfat, he COULD be competing in a bodybuilding show!

[Giantsfan4888]

@napalmmice he is a strongman there is a big difference

[napalmmice]
