TRX Ab Circuit and Finisher

If you want to improve your core strength and get stronger abs, then you need better exercises than just planks or crunches.

I’ve been asking the most advanced trainers I know for the best Core Training ideas to add into my finisher programs as well as my full workouts.

One coach that I asked, Suspension Training expert, Dan Long, of Tampa, Florida, gave me the following 3 core exercises that are guaranteed to make you stronger and get you ripped abs.

Dan is a world-renowned TRX trainer, having worked with many pro athletes and actors down at the legendary Powerhouse gym in Tampa. I’ve hung out with him several times and after you see his video, you’ll want to superset deadlifting a semi-truck and banging your head against anything that makes a really loud noise.

Dude… I’m serious.

Here’s what Dan put together in a killer core circuit. And for kicks and giggles, I’ll plug in another TRX Finisher, too. Because, hey, that’s how I roll, and hey, that’s a lot of commas in one sentence.

Killer Core Circuit with the 3 Best Exercises

1. Suspended Front Plank w Body saw
2. Suspended Side Plank L/R w Scissor and Reach Under
3. Suspended Reverse Plank w Hip Drop and Raise

*All exercises performed 30 sec to 2 min

**Rest 1 minute and repeat 2 more times

Dang, my abs will be smoked from this and if you dare, yours can be, too. What’s crazy is that I’m used to doing Stability Ball Jackknives, Rollouts, etc. and my abs still get sore from doing suspension training.

Dan is the most HIGH-energy trainer you’ll ever meet, which is why you want to learn his Suspension Revolution methods through his videos that show you dozens of UNIQUE exercises.

You’ll NEVER meet another trainer like this. Ever. Seriously. Get ready to be so pumped up to train that you’ll be ready to run through a wall. Check out this cool cat:

I also asked Dan for exercise descriptions. Here you go, but again, it’s so much better with Dan’s photos and videos in his full program here:

That’s siiiick bro <== Dan said this, not me. But it is sick bro.

But wait there’s more…. Let’s do a NEW Strap Finisher, too.

Why not?, that’s why. This is directly from the Strap Finishers Manual that comes with Dan’s program. (I was so stoked about his program, I wanted to add to the madness).
