He has one of the best physiques in the world....and...well, an unusual approach to squats too!

World champion bodybuilder Ulisses Junior has shocked many in the fitness world, with a video on his Instagram page revealing his unusual training method!

Whilst he is seen squatting what appears to be around 180 kilograms (397 pounds), he has a man kick him in the abs. I'm actually surprised it didn't break the legs of the guy - given the year-round condition of the New York native's abs! 

We know that squats don't work our abs like some bros tell us they do - but still, keeping them engaged during squats is a good thing to be doing. (10 great squatting tips here).

I interviewed Ulisses recently, and we had a good chat about training and his abs on the Fit'n'Flexed podcast. Next time I chat to him, I'll be sure to ask him about this!
