What Are Our Standards For Core Training?

[@Runner-Boy]

Dont make me train core please 😢

[@Horus-Lupercal]

*IT'S WEIGHTED CRUNCH TIME, MAGGOT.*

[@manuelschmoller2884]

But core is a core element of performance 😂 With that said, keep your squats low, your standards high and your core tight😅

[@jlysiak]

Totally agree. Since I added an extra accessories to cover various core strengths I feel much much more comfortable when lifting heavy s**t. Takes an extra time but well. I would say it's worth it.

[@ayda2876]

exactly what i think, it feels so much more comfy its like you have that extra protection and your body can finally rest a little bit every heavy movement that i did before i used to feel a discomfort in my mid section from all the weight pulling me in one direction or the other but now it feels fine wether im doing BB rows or squat or even db rows i feel just fine

[@FlyingPastilla]

Started doing a core routine every morning after back problems and have been adding exercises to it addressing each weakness I have identified. Get a bit long and the road is long but it works wonders for the core stability in the other areas of my training.

I am proud to say that at the age of 49, and weight around 220, I can do pretty much everything on this list. Many of these movements I do when I incorporate my physical therapy days, or when I am practicing kickboxing. I have that hip issie which does make certain things challenging, but doing many of the things on this list helps to abate that. My program is 10% going super heavy, and 90% doing the other stuff.

[@ayda2876]

since i started training abs i've been feeling way stronger and more stable on basically every lift and even on something like the seated row i used to feel some pain in my back but since ive been training my abs on the weighted machine ive been fine

[@Yupppi]

Something I keep being confused about is how the times I've had regular core training in my training and the lack of progression in strength, hypertrophy and stability in core. However when I started doing front squats and cleans, there's been tremendous progress in all of those areas. And I've tried passive holds, active movements, resisting rotation, bodyweight and loaded stuff with all kinds of moves, but nothing comes close to front squats/cleans. Well maybe judo.

Nice information guys, thx! Some tips i allready know, but some info is new, thx!

[@Runner-Boy]

I Do do 3 sets of abe machine thats it, guess i have to do side ones any other ? Edit, cant even lift my leg in the super man push up position

[@ns2304]

I think a lot of powerlifters and strongman who are serious lifters tend to do a lot of gpp and accessory work to help with core strength and other needs. Good example is Candito

[@Dementia.Pugilistica]

Brian alsruhe has some of the craziest core and gpp workouts ive ever seen for a strongman

[@williamgutierrez3199]

Gentlemen, I swim three times a week (vigorously) . Have you analyzed swimming and core training.

[@thxnsry]

I personally have weak core and still have trouble with how to actually increase my core strength when my sumo deadlift was 180kg but my clean deadlift was only 120-130kg because my body starts to fold with heavier weight. The problem is, how do i program my core training into the program while preventing injury when the training core would fatigue it.

[@chaechae2424]

I just did some hip airplanes in the kitchen, looks like I need more core work.

[@Keegan3005]

i have a tough time actually feeling it in the appropriate glute

[@Danomax]

Yes.

[@ethankoskinas6800]

Is the pallof press any good for anti-rotational work?

[@otxoawolf9054]

Yes

If you wanted to get a big strong overhead press what accessorie movements would you incorporate? I can currently do 62kg for 21 reps but I want to get it up to 30 reps

[@petermozuraitis5219]

Hollow body holds would probably help with that, given it is basically a giant fully body bracing exercise

[@MC-rw9rk]

Hey lads, not related at all, but have you thought about putting gift cards up on your website? I know some peeps I'd like to gift programs to

[@charlesburden2973]

Was just thinking the same last night. On the Sika Strength app as well.

[@dalehall-bowden1083]

Those tests are easy. I guess the reason why I only squat 150kg is because I have weak legs

[@allandoyle1809]

The eyes. lol

[@LatimusChadimus]

Rotational work, sprinting and lifting properly. All train your core
