Stability Ball Tight Rotations

I posted a video a few days ago about Power Rope Tight Rotations for developing incredible abs. This stability ball exercise is another example of “Tight Rotations.”

Both of these exercises have their place in any well designed program, however, the Stability Ball Tight Rotation is a bit more re-active and not so cyclical.

It keeps you guessing and I like that!

I personally like to use these as a finisher at the end of a circuit.

Tight Rotations for Core Conditioning

If you want an ab exercise that truely addresses the true design and function of your entire “core” region that you have to try Nick Tumminello’s “Tight Rotations” Series. Nick highlights several levels of his tight rotations on his blog at Nick Tumminello. 

We do something similar in our training with power ropes. Any training tool is great but the key to successful training is progession and regression of exercise variables. Our posture is a little lower than Nick teaches but having having an upright posture is just so damn hard with the power rope tight rotations.

Try it out and you’ll quickly become a believer.

Deadlifts for Combat Sports Conditioning

Barbells are a very common tool within Combat Sports Conditioning circles.

However, there are many ways to use barbells when conditioning for combat sports that are often times are out-of-the-box variations that have direct carry-over into combat sports athletic development.

This combat conditioning exercise is known as the Angled Deadlift and Press and came to me via my good friend Nick Tumminello of PerformanceU.net.
