Dumbbell
side roll
This a different
torso strengthener. Instead of the standard upper-body rotation.
the lower body is rotated. This is accomplished by stabilizing the
upper body with weights. The muscles being used are internal and
external obliques, quadratus lumborum and upperbody stabilizers.
Notice the difference this exercise makes in bent knee spinning,
control and landings.
