One of our two current homework assignments is to find a new ab exercise. Inspired by my husband, who loves bodyweight stuff and seeks out inspiration frequently, and by Sara's badass homemade incline workout, I went to Ross.
What about that roller exercise at 20 seconds in? Okay, you're right, that's insane. Especially since he's doing it one-handed and with what appears to be extra weight strapped to his back. At any rate, if you're looking for ideas on new bodyweight workouts or homemade exercise equipment, I recommend checking out his site.
Luke owns his book, Never Gymless, and it has a nice, tough-looking but doable ab exercise. Lay on your back with your arms out in a T shape. Lift legs up to 90 degrees. Lower them in a controlled motion to the left, keeping the rest of the body as still as possible. Just before they touch the ground, stop and lift up again to center. Repeat on the other side.
Whoa, that guy's intense. Maybe I should start listening to thrash metal for the supersets. This post was good inspiration to what to look into for the post-pcp agenda. I'm going to look for that book, never gymless.
ReplyDeleteThat shit is bananas. But it goes to show that you don't need fancy machines, just a fancy imagination.
ReplyDeleteHow are you liking the supersets?
Awesome examples of functional strength. How 'bout those pistol squats!?My favorite was the sledgehammer and tire.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, the Never Gymless guy has basically built a gym!
ok, that's just crazy.
