I highly recommend core/ abs having their own day that way their fatigue is not a limiting factor on your big lifts. And yeah I strap the 100lbs in a sack to my feet with a piece of chain. Its not a perfect strict leg raise though more of a semi leg raise/ knees to chest / crunch movement. Also its great for spinal decompression! Thanks for stopping in :slight_smile:

The lion in the jungle makes every other animal sit up and take notice as soon as he lets out a roar. He didn’t get that way through artificial paraphernalia or through springs and wires and trick dumbells. He became the king of the jungle through constant natural use of every muscle in his body."-Charles Atlas

12/17/15

There are two types of pain, the one that breaks you and the one that changes you. In the gym, pain is felt as a result of weakness leaving the body. Physical pain is the glue of transformation and the pain of progress. The more you endure the harder it gets to accept the thought of failure."-Greg Plitt
