Want abs like Bruce Lee? Watch Jared demonstrate Lee's famous Dragon Flag core exercise using the MoveStrong Stall Bars. Start by hands grasping and bracing forearms against rungs that allow for a straight arm position, contract lats, and tighten core as you raise lower body. Begin with the first progression and only proceed to the next based on your ability to maintain strict form for multiple reps in a slow controlled manner. Top position of each should finish on upper back and shoulders, NOT head or neck causing strain. Dragon Flags work all the core stabilizers and because it requires a controlled movement, it builds strength more quickly than isolated core exercises.

The MoveStrong Strength Logs are a great way to diversify your strength training using an odd shaped object, log shape rather than barbell, to create more challenging lifts and pressing in exercises being performed. Some ideal exercises to perform are ground to overhead, presses, rows, deadlifts, suitcase deadlift, farmers walk, and more.
Below is a video demonstrating some Strength log exercises put together in a exercise complex performed back to back for a great total body strength and conditioning workout.
Drew Massey, Strength and Conditioning coach at Gametime Sports & Training, demonstrates a method for correcting squatting form using the MoveStrong Club FTS and bands. To maintain an upright position and eliminate knees tracking forward and curvature in the spine, Drew suggests using a band that will slightly pull the body forward creating a natural response to sit back on the heels. This will result in better power position creating more power with a vertical torso and knees in line with the toes. Proper form results in more effective lifts and reduces the possibility of injury.
