Why I Don’t Call It “Core” Training

What this episode covers

Most people train their core with the wrong goal and the wrong tools, focusing on crunches and sit-ups that fail to improve real-world performance. In this episode of the Everyday Strength Podcast, Anthony explains why he prefers the term trunk musculature and why its primary role is force transfer, stability, and coordination rather than visible abs. You’ll learn how to train the trunk intelligently so it actually carries over to lifting, running, and long-term injury resilience.Read the full episode notes at hagelestrength.comJoin the⁠ Performance Edge Network⁠ to receive Anthony’s weekly newsletter⁠Disclaimers & Disclosures⁠Connect with Anthony:⁠Instagram⁠⁠X⁠⁠YouTube
