  • Great excercise for fighters, works rotational strength.

  • Do you know of any other good exercises for fighters? Always looking for new ideas. Thanks for the comment.

  • In the video, you'll need to keep the weight IN FRONT of your chest. Otherwise, its just your arms doing the work. Watch at the end of the movement when you turn... your upper body stops turning, and its your arms that bring the weight the rest of the way down, while your obliques contract statically. Keeping the weight directly in front of the chest at all times ensures your arms are contracting statically (as they should) and your obliques are doing the work.

  • i thought i invented these :/

  • damn! ill try

  • @colemurdy yea, when not at the gym, at home I have a physio ball that i sit on with my feet under the couch. I lean my upper body back until the abs get tight then I go to work. Killin' my abs! You could do it without a physio ball too.

  • i think u should do 50 a day for 8 weeks because my friends got a frikin 8 pack

  • does it give u a 6 or 4 pack??

  • could u do this by putting ur feet under ur couch and lifting ur upper body off the floor and twisting side 2 side

  • @viator22 Thanks!

  • @badderthanyou Sure, lots of them. Sledgehammer swings on tractor tires are great from different angles and grips. Judo uchikomis (partial throw repetitions) with a tire inner tube or blast straps. Barbell twists, with the bar in a corner. I like to take a small medicine ball in one hand and throw it into a bag like a straight. Similarly, suitcase deadlifts or any unilateral lifting is gonna help your core stability and strength. Check out Rosstraining for even more, not enough space here.

  • @viator22 Are there any other rotational exercises involving weight and or cables? 

  • @anyproblems123 I do 4*50 to each side without any barbell/dumbell/medball/kettle­bell or something. Great exercise, really great!
