Lets step it up a little on our push up game! Try Spiderman pushups using the MoveStrong DynaBell. Assume the pushup position. As you lower your body toward the floor, lift your right foot off the floor, swing your right leg out sideways, and try to touch your knee to your elbow. Reverse the movement, then push your body back to the starting position. Repeat, but on your next repetition, touch your left knee to your left elbow. Continue to alternate back and forth. #MoveoftheDay

Start with your feet on the floor. Activate your glutes and hamstrings to extend your hips until you are straight up and down. Alternate bending each leg one at a time to challenge your core and stability. It is harder than it looks! This exercise strengthens your hips, arms, hamstrings, and trunk using bodyweight exercises to strengthen muscles with dynamic movements and isometric contractions.
Watch Jared perform a sample of exercises to learn how to build strength to perform a bar muscle up. Take time and develop the core and upper body strength needed to safely perform a bar muscle-up. Master each of these for 8-10 reps before moving on to attempt bar muscle-ups.
Start by practicing hollow body rock exercises. Learn to forcefully contract abs to brace core and create stiff torso. Next, build full range of motion dip strength, to be able to soon perform low horizontal bar dips.
Then begin building pull-up strength by practicing chest to bar pull-ups. Once you have practiced pull-ups, you can now try a straight arm pull with hollow body while bracing the core. Soon progress to power pull-ups to bar below sternum. Then put it all together!
Fire up your glutes, hamstrings, and quads on the MoveStrong Stall Bars!
Perform total body lunges with back leg reach in 3 planes of motion. Not only will you feel it in your legs, but you also engage the lats, shoulders, and arms by extending arms and reaching towards your back leg in multiple planes.
Give it a try! We promise you will feel it!
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.

Smaller size strength log ideal for group workouts
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.
