This is where the money is. In the US Army this is the meat and potatoes. If you wanna cross-train do some bear crawls, crab walks, grab a buddy to do some fireman carries, high crawl, etc. These exercises also have their purpose, and I wouldn't be suprised if you end up having to do them down the road.
