Cardio vs strength training, what’s your take on it ?

Are you bored of the same old GLUTE exercises ? This one will BURN like crazy if you do it with good technique.

More of an advanced core exercise. Really working hip flexors and compression here. Try an avoid pulling with the lats. This should be pure core.

As a tip place a box behind your feet to stop the swing at the bottom and therefore pull from a dead stop instead of kipping a.k.a *t

Awesome core compression exercise. You need to have strong shoulders , triceps and core compression ( knees to chest).

Rolling into this makes it slightly easier , as does straddling the legs in the top position.

If you’re feeling strong try to close the knees and go for an isometric hold at the end to finish you off 😂

A very advanced version would be to do this with straight legs but you need amazing hamstring flexibility for that one.

Another day of the new training structure , and another core exercise.

For those that maybe don’t know , this is an L Sit. I’m using the box and mats to incrementally raise the level of my legs. Doing it this way you can easily gauge if you’re legs are dropping through the exercise. Straight legs and pointed toes are a must !

After 6 months of training , you get bored of the routine. Extremely bored. So it’s time to switch the structure. For the new 4-6 months it will be 40 minutes of hard upper / lower body ( which ever it is that day) and then 20 minutes of very intense core.

I can get in around 8-12 sets of core every day with this style
Of training , equaling about 200 sets every month !

This is a bit of an advanced core exercise designed to help me
With the press to handstand ( which I can’t do right now ). Keeping the legs locked and toes pointed makes it even harder. For an easier version try bent knees.

⚠️🥵why ⁣

Been a while since I trained the and it´s very obvious the drop in strength due to lack of practice. These are insanely hard if you don´t consistently work at them, but as I want to work towards the and again these are essential basics that have to be mastered. Body line is the most important with and the most important.

Starting working on these deficit shrimp squats. You can see how much work is going on in just the one legs between the eccentric , concentric and isometric at the top. Definitely need more practise but great unilateral exercise if your basic shrimp squats are too easy.
