Old Forum Pavel--Reptilian Crawls

[magus71]

Pavel, a long time ago you wrote a short article in Muscle Media, I believe it was. You wrote about a movement in which Russian Special Forces were trained to approach possible sentries from behind; they crawled like lizards on the ground. You observed that this was a great training movement for total body tension.

Can you re-enlighten me on this, as I don't have the article anymore.

V/r,

Look for Lizard Crawl in Beyond Bodybuilding, it should be this. Very tough exercise by the way.

Not sure what variation a lizard crawl is, but as a Marine, we did high crawls and low crawls. Lizard makes me think low. Then of course there is close order crawling; forward crawl, to the rear crawl, right flank crawl, etc. I think about doing it again, but I've got dogs...

Steve Maxwell has a lot of clips on his youtube channel with similar moves.

I once had a very traumatic experience delivered by a friend's standard poodle. 'Nuf said!  Probably near 55 years ago and still creeps me out to think of it.  Yeesh...

Douglas, that is right, I covered it in BB.
