Brutal Training Meets Combat Core

The guys from Brutal Training go through some drills from Smitty's coveted ebook/manual, Combat Core Strength.



This manual is something you must have in your collection if you want to build a truly strong core. When you do, you will see transfer and cross-over to all your other lifts. After all, almost all movement is triggered from signals and synergies that fire in the core.

Build your pyramid from the bottom, and take your core strength to a new level with Combat Core Strength.

Matt Schumann Loads 330-lb Stone

In this video, Matt Schumann loads a 330-lb over a 49" bar. At the Arnold Classic, and at many other contests, where the object is to load the heaviest stone possible, the stone is put over a bar, just like you see here in this video.

I also want to point out the way Matt wraps his forearms here. You'll see, that instead of some sort of sleeve or forearm guard, Matt uses common sports tape - something we all have access to and is very affordable. It conforms to the forearm perfectly, protects your skin from rough stone edges, and can easily hold a layer of tacky if you desire to apply it. This is the wrapping technique we cover in our Stone Lifting Fundamentals DVD.

Paul Knight Closes a #4

Paul Knight is the real deal, guys. A hell of a nice guy and a strong freaking crusher. Below he closes a #4 gripper with a paused parallel set. You'll see the tag says 199 on it. The 199 means it was put on a calibrator and it took 199 pounds to make the handles touch together. Outstanding!



Great work Paul. Now, I am going to go down and hit a few more gripper squeezes.
