One thing the old training staff used to do to humble players coming in was the 'bows and toes exercise. Simple concept but really tests your core.

Get on the ground with your elbows and toes supporting your weight. Keep your back perfectly straight, do not arch it. How long can you hold that position?

Average is 1 minute.

When I was in junior college, I had a wellness and fitness class. I came in one day half serious why we are doing the end of semester fitness test and said ," I will break a record". lol. I ended up doing 8 mins and 30 secs if I am not mistaken. I could have kept going but I didn't want to hold up the class which it was close to time to leave. I miss those days..Now I am out of shape and probably can only get like 30 secs...to think I am only 29..sighs lol

Our Krav Maga instructor loves those. Usually has us alternate between holding the plank position and transitioning directly to pushups without letting your knees touch the ground. This usually goes on for 3-5 minutes.

Never thought of pushups as a welcome relief before.

Two things...

1. Its called a plank. It is a bitch of a core exercise. Dr. Stewart McGill is huge on these. Athletes and training from around the world are referring to him on back and core work,

2. -1 for your thread title. I thought we were going to get a pic or links to Cameltoes.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
