Your midline is the largest horsepower transfer joint in your body, and also the most critical when it comes to spinal support because it's designed to perform 3 things: 1. Anti-flexion 2. Anti-extension 3. Anti-rotation And a distant fourth, to look bad ass at the beach 💪🔥 Now add in grip strength to crush a baseball with your bare hands (and remember that the principle of irradiation increases global strength by forces a greater contraction along the entire kinetic chain, more on that later 😉🔥) check out my boy @defrancosgym putting @mickeygall through two drills to crush it. #Repost @defrancosgym with @repostapp ・・・ 👊🏻DEVELOPING A VICE-LIKE GRIP & iNsAnE CORE STRENGTH! . @mickeygall performs 150lb Med Ball Bear Hug Carries + Weighted Planks w/ Perturbation . NOTE: He's making each of these exercises look WAY easier than they are! *Anyone who's ever performed a heavy med ball carry in this fashion knows it requires a tremendous amount of isometric strength - and it's nearly impossible to breathe! Mickey was able to perform multiple 1-minute sets with ease. (This was my initial goal for him for Week 6...but I'll take it during Week 2!)💪🏻 .
