Why Most Lifters Core Training Falls Short | Ep 51

from The Tommy Brideson Show

Core training is one of the most overlooked areas in most strength programs. Personally I believe that its because people are not sure how to structure it so it progresses alongside your training. As with all lifts you will want periods where you are working in isolation and periods where you are pushing up the strength and intensity with bigger compound movements. Core training is no different. In this episode, I break down what actually makes core work effective and how it should evolve alongside your overall training demands.I start out by looking at how the midsection functions and why it needs more than just generic core exercises. Then we’ll dive into bracing, breathing mechanics, and how all of this ties into your performance with big lifts like squats, deadlifts, and presses. Hosted on Acast.
