Amazing Exercise For Improving Core Strength & Eccentric Control

This is quite an interesting exercise that follows on from many of the previous exercises in particular the walking deadlift and single cable pull with backward step. This one does have something a bit different to all of those in that it requires a significantly greater amount of eccentric control to slow the movement down and reverse direction.
This exercise in many ways is very similar to the versions I use with sports strength and those looking to improve stability of the knee to prevent ACL tears where I use explosive acceleration and then instantly apply the brakes. It is not the acceleration that is the main focus but the brakes for that is where the most strength and control is required and also where the most injuries occur.

This exercise instead of focusing on knee stability it focuses on core stability and the ability of the body to decelerate the trunk flexion as the dumbbell drops to the floor. Then it all reverses as the body has to accelerate using the strength of the glutes and core to be able to explosively transfer the dumbbell overhead to the other side.
This is highly coordinated and requires more than just adequate strength to master the movement. Agility, balance, and power are all attributes of this exercise that need to be developed to make it flow. Lastly endurance and fitness will become a factor when you have it mastered as the speed of the movement takes its toll.
Once again this is another great exercise for improving gait and the ability to transfer weight from one leg to the other crossing through the core to control the movement.
