An old favorite from the wrestling practice days! I really like the emphasis you put on stable hips; this is something it is hugely overlooked but is as important as anything with this exercise.

Awesome exercise! I will definitely start using this one. I just need to find a “tough as nails” training partner. Right now i’m training solo at my house.

Thanks Zach!

Guys

u rock like Van Halen for the comments!

For our advanced athletes we also begin this partner wheel barrow movements with 2 – 4 plyo push ups and then go into hand walking

These can also be done sideways / left / right

To the onlooker it doesn’t look like much, BUT, if u wlak on your hands AND squeeze your partner w/your legs your upper body and abs will get SMASHED on these.

They are beyond powerful!

I got another cool vid coming Monday, stay tuned!

Peace!

Great exercise! When I tried this for the first time it worked me out all over in the upper body. It’s awesome to know that body weight exercises can produce fast results.

Ahhh, thats just playing.

Or in other words, it’s returning to the youthful games we used to do as kids, BEFORE we got lazy, knotted up, tight, fat etc..

Bring the fun back to fitness with drills like these and other partner work, people will get better results, in less time, with fewer injuries and they’ll have a smile on their face.

Have you seen peoples faces in the gyms these days? Abject misery at it’s height.

Zach, you a big kid. Love it.

Zach, you’re bringing back some old memories for me as I watch the video – it was Jr. high wrestling (late 1970′s brah!) and we did these all the time. Now I tell my high school athletes if they can’t control their own body movements they’re not a true athlete. Great to see you’re there too!
