You're training your ability to move with a non-bending body and a non-over-rotating body.

And you're just going to walk really, really hard.

Great for your core, but you're not going to get a lot of systemic fatigue from that.

what allows you to go heavy for six or 12 reps.

And then maybe you pick one other exercise that is now not an anti-movement like the first two, but an actual movement one, and we pick a flexion exercise.

Maybe we do a cable crunch where I can load it heavy, I can pull down, and I'm still gonna do my six to 12 reps.

Not much going on in the spine here.

We're totally safe, but we're able to go really, really, really heavy.

We've done some of the dynamic movements.

We've done a little bit more of an isolated exercise, and we've put it all together.

And you could do that, say, three days a week.

Or you could do that one day a week, say day one, do a different style on day two, and then come back to this style on day three.

So you could mix and match it.

Again, maybe to be a little more clear, this could be your entire strategy of how you do your abs for six or eight weeks.

Or you could have what we would call an undulating system where you kind of do this day one and then do maybe a higher repetition strategy

day two or day three of the week.

And now you're doing your sets of 15 or sets of 30, and you're working on some of the other stuff that we've talked about in the past.

So you can mix and match these into one week, or you could separate them into multiple months of training style.

Again, one example, hopefully that helped you kind of conceptualize all the principles we talked about and what that could look like in one program.

I want to, before we depart past that though, talk about this progression, because I brought it up multiple times now.
