Training Abs and Arms Simultaneously

     Hey Everyone, 

    I know you have never probably heard me talk about training individual muscle groups.

     

    Well in this case it may sound that way but in reality it is still
    all about integration

     

     

    Anytime your abs are turned on the primary muscle group you are
    hitting will really blow up.

     

     

    RBT Abs and Arm training does exactly that.

     

     

    Real simple circuit

    Standing Curls and Overhead Tricep

    20 sec on 10 sec off x 4 cycles

     

     

    I usually like to take 1 minute after 1 cycle and hit it again. Always changing
    type of movement, base of support or band resistance.

     

    The beauty is that all can be done without every having to stop the workout.

     

    After you take a look at these, keep in mind there are over
    70 other workouts just like this at

  1. Great stuff Dave.

    I can really use this with a lot of my mma and jiu jitsu athletes.

    Thanks a lot, the videos are great.

    Band man…real concerned about “reaching behind you” and “elbows back”! What about the stretching of the (anterior humeral head) rotator cuff? I really like they way you typically only teach movements not training body parts and I realize this is not your common instruction but stick to what you instinctively know is proper and stay away from the stuff that will harm people.

    Don’t mean to be negative but you are great with this stuff and I like referring people to your information and want to continue with this.

    Keep up the GOOD work!

    Andy ,

    Thanks for the feedback. Your concerns are appreciated but like with all movements, if the person has the optimial deceleration control and mobility, they should be able to lengthen without injury. The problem with this position is that most clients do not have the length… To date I have 0 problems with this except the inablility for people to assume the position do to connective tissue inflexibility and neurotension issues..

    Both of which we address with band stretching and correct to keep the structures you mentioned healthy and safe.

    Thanks again

    Dave

    Dave,

    This is some good stuff here, man. I have some new camps being launched on December 1st so you can expect to hear from me about some band orders in January or February.

    I think I’m still sore from my last band workout;)

    Wow! Great little workout Dave.

    I tacked it on to the end of my normal strength training routine. That was a tough 4 minutes!!! I’m embarrassed to say, but I probably should’ve used the mini-band instead of the monster mini. I’m constantly amazed how the band resistance works my body. I’m not saying it’s better or worse than any other type of resistance, but it definitely exhausts me extremely quickly.

    Thanks again for that workout. I don’t usually isolate muscles either, but I can continue to see myself adding that workout to the end of my other workouts, maybe once or twice a week.

    Great! Thanks for clearing that up!
