So seemingly strange video to comment this on. I have been "incorporating" sandbag carries into my training since I learnt how to brace properly, thanks for that brian...the passing out has stopped. However, I don't know how much weight I should be doing or how to program in the movement. Following your Brian's basic giant set format I was using it a an ab exercise but increasing the weight with each round of the giant set. I was walking 60 ft with 140 pounds for 5 rounds as my ab work and that kind wore me out. I decided I would just do the carries for conditioning every minute on a minute for 10 minutes with 100 pounds but that felt a little too easy. I don't know where to put it or what weight would be too much or too little assuming that I will be walking at least 60 feet every carry. Massive thanks again Brian, thanks the bracing advice I can actually do this movement that I love without feeling like a paraplegic.

@joshjohnston73885 жыл бұрын
Ya what thicc boi said. Do them in between sets during the rest. At first, the fatigie will eat into your main lift, but you'll get acclimated to the workload really quickly. 2-4 weeks and you'll be back to regular numbers PLUS getting your ab work done. It's a great feeling, moving to your assistance work and realizing abs are done, and then finoshing the assistance and realizing you're done for the day (unless you do conditioning after). The way it manages the mental fatigue is what really makes the method pop for me.

@matthawk425 жыл бұрын
Do them with a hollow body (legs actually stay higher than the hips as you get closer to the ground), it makes the exercise much more difficult as there is no movement in the hips during the exercise but it will strengthen all of your core and protect the lumber spine. This is how gymnasts do the movement which they call a body lever.
@joshjohnston73885 жыл бұрын
Yeah you gotta figure out how to brace so your hips aren't dragging and putting that extra compressive stress on the low back. Kinda like how you push your hips up slightly durning a plank so you don't go swaybacked? Like that, but on your back.

“Dragon Flags?” I’ve never heard it called that before lol I like the name. We (The Army) just call ‘em leg raises. Lol Sometimes we hold our Battle’s ankles 🤣 while he tries to throw/pushes our legs down in all directions and keep our heels from touching the ground. It’s really effective that way! 👍🏼 Always great videos man! Also, (Everyone on KZfaq fitness videos always avoid answering this question but wth...) what kind of stack do you take?
@BrianAlsruheOfficial5 жыл бұрын
Those are two completely different exercises brother. If you watch the end of the video you start out with leg raises and then you move onto dragon flags. There is no way you’re controlling your legs down if someone is throwing them during a dragon flag.

@joshjohnston73885 жыл бұрын
1-Note how you strained yourself if you know how it happened. 2-back off the intensity about 20-30%. This may involve scaling back to a previous step. 3-keep working at the lighter range until the strain-pain goes away (probably about a week). Re-evaluate if you can scale back up a step. If you think not, just add 5 or so reps per set of the scaled back version until you think you are ready.

Josh Johnston What level of pain should a person be at ?
@joshjohnston73885 жыл бұрын
@@VARIABLE_ the more important question is what level of movement/effort doesn't induce more pain. You know the difference, in your own body, between, "yep, that's the spot," and, "oh crap, this hurts." We all have the ability to go so hard that we break ourselves. Rehab is about going nice and easy, mobilizing tissue, and getting fluids (blood, etc) mobilized through the tissue. Choose an intensity that doesn't exacerbate the ouchy, and slowly work up as you heal. Only you know how it feels. Much of early rehab is finding out what you can do without making it worse and going from there. If you can only go so far before getting the "back off!" pain signal, then only go that far for now. Assuming nothing is torn or broken (because that's obvious and sends you to the ER), you're essentially convincing your nervous system that you're gonna be ok, bit by bit.
