    The best, most useful channel I have ever viewed. I'm about to turn 44 and I am retiring from the navy this year. After 20+ years of dieting and maintaining my weight below 200 lbs at 6' tall, I'm embarking on a journey. I want to start powerlifting/strongman. I want to put in the time, food and training to get big, massive and strong. This channel is the first place I go to for learning the best practices. I know none of this will happen overnight but I'm driven and patient. Thanks Brian for the motivation you provide me.

First two were easy, but getting stronger is a really really tough grind for me. Cannot even pull 315 yet. Saw a guy my size doing 405+ with a trap bar. Got me even more motivated to go at it.

    Hey Brian, the OHP is a great compound movement for the core, too. Since you're leaning back to press the bar straight up, your core is working hard to hold that weight in place.

    My favorite "core" exercise are heavy squats-beltless. Seriously I have had to cut my squat session short because of how sore my abs were. That said I do like doing some russian twists or some oblique crunches, and leg raises, but these are all done at the end of a workout NOT as the main exercises. Great suggestions in this video Brian.

    1:53 had me dead man. Also ab pushy out thingy is pretty cool but I think I'll have to do them when my gym is empty to avoid attention (my gyms really judgmental). I know you said yoke is powerful way to work the core so if you don't have that would walking around with a barbel in your back work? Or maybe walking around with the barbell overhead? Also have you tried the Otis up? And the band twisty thingy as you called it I honk they're called woodchops

      Nah man, i wouldn't do that simply because if you tripped while doing that and went head first, you literally may die. Dangerous games my friend
