It wasn't long before I realized "Hey, this guy might actually know what he's talking about. Maybe I should listen to him" lol :D

Curtis Mosley is awesome. He is one of the guys I train with all the time. He borrowed my 10th planet DVD's to get ready for the match. He said he was prepared for everything except the strength of Tom's squeeze. He said never felt one that strong. He is one of the guys that will be tagging along to the seminar. We are getting a final head count this week.

Congrats Big Cat

Adductor Squeeze (Ball high up between the knees while sitting in butterfly stretch)

Exercise three:
Leg Curls (Ball between your hamstrings and calves, Seated or on stomach)

Exercise four:
Triangles (Ball inside your triangle)

Actually worked some of these exercises this morning with a 15 lb ball this morning because my training partner overslept. Was able to do all of them except for the triangle. Couldn't get a tight lock over the shin, could only lock it over the toes. Should I move to a smaller diameter medicine ball for the triangle, or work the squeeze with less than perfect technique?

Also, what about hitting the tepee with these types of squeezing exercises?

You can do both, Also heavy bags can be used instead of medicine balls. And yes you can do it with Tepees as well.

Great advice! My legs tire out when I have to hold the lock down for a while. I've been thinking to myself "I should do some serious leg training to make sure I'm strong and can last". Good advice and thanks for sharing.

Great work, and congrats on the purple belt!
