SERIOUS core training is not about getting "six-pack abs" or a "toned tummy" (I can't believe I just wrote the words "toned tummy").

If you want to develop incredible core strength that boosts your athletic and strength performance, you need core training that is functional, movement-based and utilizes significant resistance.

You need an exercise that is going to challenge your core in ways it has NEVER experienced before.

And that exercise is Dumbbell Crawling...

I'll be honest...this is one of THE weirdest abdominal exercises you'll ever see...it's also one of the most effective and one of my absolute favorites for developing ridiculous core strength.

You're not going to be doing any crunching or twisting or squeezing. There are no machines involved...heck, there's no need to really even focus on contracting the core muscles.

Because once you start doing this exercise, your body will have NO CHOICE but to fire your abs HARD in order to do it.

And if you want to see what you can really do with this exercise once you build it up, check out this video of me pulling a sled loaded with 700 lbs of weight plates, using a pair of 100 lb dumbbells for crawling.

Tough but awesome :).

I've got a strongman harness on, attached to the sled with tow chains.

In addition to being great core work, the dumbbells actually helped me move the load by weighing my upper body down enough to get more drive with the legs.

I never seem to have any issues with social distancing...everybody tends to stay away from me when I'm doing stuff like this :).

New Book Coming Tomorrow!

Time-Volume Training is a form of density training I came up with that is absolutely PERFECT for training with limited equipment, light to moderate weight and/or bodyweight.

You can use it to build muscle, gain strength, lose fat, improve conditioning...it's a killer concept and it flat-out WORKS.

This will be launching tomorrow morning...keep your eyes peeled for it! I'll have a lot more info for you then!
