Samson Ebukam has been sharing clips of his offseason workouts all spring and summer, and he looks primed for a strong 2020 season in Los Angeles. This week, he posted a clip on Twitter of his abs taking on a medicine ball while he hung from a machine in what can only be described as an unusual exercise.
The purpose? Ebukam wants to try boxing phenom Ryan Garcia’s “Body Shot Challenge,” in which he punches people in the stomach until they curl over in pain.
If you haven’t seen any of his videos before, here’s a sample of one.
My abs hurt just watching that video, and the same can be said after seeing Ebukam’s workout. Here’s how the Rams pass rusher is preparing for the “Body Shot Challenge,” telling Garcia that he’s ready to give it a try.

It takes an incredible amount of strength and muscle to withstand constant shots to the stomach from a medicine ball being thrown at you, which puts into perspective just how strong Ebukam’s core is.
Now, that may not translate to the breakout season he’s hoping to have, but at least he’s putting in the work to make it happen.
