i'll add these in my ab routine

so you big guys actually use these somewhat consistently? I've seen them over at t-mag, but always figured them to be in the excess finess cateogory that isn't really needed. also I dont have access to kettelbells, so def wont work my forearms like in the pic.

The "big" guys at my gym do these as well as all sorts of other dinasour training b/c it is so good for developing functional strength and stability for the core, crunches and other fitness movements don't work the abs in a way you would ever really use. You can use a db or make a club bell by filling a wiffle ball bat with sand and or shot

Hmm, you must go to an interesting gym then. Don't think you'd find a gym anywhere in Australia where people do turkish getups

 

[pillsbury]

Yes, we do go to an interesting gym. We also have all the strongest guys in town training there. I, sadly, was not present for this session where the pics were taken, but have trained with IronLion in the past, and will in the future, and he is probably the biggest of our big guys. Monster.

Turkish getups, kettlebell swings, overhead squats, front squats, Indian Club work, bunch of shit so weird it doesn't even have a name, we do all kinds of crazy stuff. But the thing is, it is the strongest guys in the gym, who are doing this crazy stuff.
