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.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
