m going to show you 6 ab exercises that will fire up your core in ways you never imagined by training your abs like an athlete. In order to effectively hit your abs you need to stop focusing on the ability of your abdominals to simply flex your spine and more on their ability to prevent motion as well. Here, I-m taking WWE superstars Sheamus and Cesaro through an intense series of six ab exercises that will challenge the muscles ability to prevent rotation, produce power rotation and prevent over extension of the spine. No crunches, no planks and no basic ab exercises are performed in this workout. The first ab exercise we cover is the leg lift performed in the captains- chair. The key to this move is that we are able to support our upper body through our forearms rather than our shoulders while hanging from a bar. Particularly for those that have shoulder issues like a torn labrum, being able to take the hang out of the move without sacrificing the effectiveness of the movement on the abs is key. Next we perform a rotational variation on this exercise called the gymnast abs. Here instead of curling your lower pelvis up towards your shoulders you lift your hips into a posterior tilt. This is incredibly challenging and takes advantage of relative motion to produce an insanely effective exercise for your abs workouts. We move onto the battle ropes. People often think of battle rope workouts as something you do for conditioning or to burn fat. That doesn-t have to be their limits however. The battle ropes present a great way to train your core and obliques with alternating rotational slams. Even better, you should change the posture from which you perform the exercise to make this an even more difficult ab movement. Start by kneeling and slamming the ropes side to side and progress to a sitting position. When you gain the ability to, alternate between sitting and kneeling positions throughout the set. Next we control rotation of the trunk with an oblique and rectus abdominis movement that is easy to perform but tough if you crank up the resistance of the band you use to perform it. The goal is to keep your arms out straight and directly in front of your chest. Step out to one side, increasing the resistance on the band and the amount of work the abs have to do to prevent your body from twisting. When you get strong enough abs, you can jump out to position which will provide a more dynamically challenging movement to have to control. Finally, the plank punch out is a much more difficult variation of the common plank. Planks alone are often not enough to help you to develop a good looking, strong set of abs. Instead, you need to ramp up the difficulty level by decreasing your base of support and including things like a band and three points of contact to make the abs work much harder. You will see the instant difference the second you try these.

Hey thanks for what you do. I am almost 6 months into working out/exercising at 40 years old and my body is so much better now since I've been doing the work. Your videos have been helping me with all of that by helping to start fix my anterior pelvic tilt and strengthen my back. I suffer the typical tall skinny guy troubles and your corrective workouts have been game changing for me. Also, big wwe fan and this video was great.

I appreciate people not dissing Jeff for not being huge like the other guys. He is in peak form for his height and bod type. A dude that weighs more and thus has bigger biceps n all that is simply different in bod and muscle type, not better than Jeff.

The second exercise is literally judo uchi-komi with weights above.
Standard arms movement is literally a face-pull.
Jeff would love judo.
The double rope exercise also is awesome. Great for grapplers and throwers.

Awesome as always. I-m a big fan of the battle rope. I find holding the tail of the ropes in the -sled- position tail up thumbs up is easier on the shoulder and harder on the core. Shoulders can-t kick in and takeover.

The rope exercise on this video, seems like doing the movement while holding a medicine ball, making a half circle(back/forth) in a fast way.
Can that be an alternative if not having ropes?
