No Gym, No Problem! (Chops + Lifts)

Gray Cook demonstrates variations on chop and lift exercises that you can do when you can’t make the gym, or just want to stay outside and play - all while building your core stability.

With a rope and a firm footing (and maybe a strong tree), your bodyweight will offer great resistance for a modified chop. Turn toward your bottom hand, letting your hips turn as you lower yourself and turn back as you push yourself up. Switch hands and sides and repeat. Feel an asymmetry or have an asymmetrical movement pattern on your Functional Movement Screen? You can invert your breathing (inhale on the way down) to provide greater core stability and balance between your sides.

Great advice, thank you.

Would this serve as a side plank variation? As I imagine the QL is being pretty taxed here?
