Dragon flags: the ultimate test of core strength— especially on a decline bench! 😮‍💨🐉🔥 If you’ve ever attempted these, you know the burn is real. Not only do they challenge your entire core from top to bottom, but they also require insane control, stability, & full-body tension. It’s not just your abs working—your lats, glutes, & even your mind are in the game. Why are they so good? Dragon flags demand eccentric control, which strengthens your core’s ability to resist movement. Basically, they build a rock-solid foundation for everything—running, lifting, even just staying injury-free in life. Painful? Absolutely. Worth it? Without a doubt. Start slow, focus on form, and work your way up. There are lots of ways to modify by hinging at the hips, bending your knees & performing them in the floor.
