Core Training / Leg Training
Here are two videos from recent workouts. One shows a cool rotational core training exercise that no only improves rotational and decelerative core strength but it also incorporates the upper body.
The next video shows front squats, a staple in all good strength training programs (as long as there are no existing shoulder / wrist issues). Don’t forget if there are issues with the conventional front squat racked position you could; use a different bar, use a cross armed / bodybuilding rack or even use lifting straps tied around the barbell.
The thing you have to remember is that when you choose the right exercises in your program and you do them consistently, you get results fast. Real fast.
Exercises like:
- pull-ups / chin-ups
- squats; front, back, zercher
- deadlifts
- dips
- bench
- power cleans
- military press
- db clean & press
- good warm-up
- good flow
- good mobility
Benefits of Front Squats
- superior lower body strength
- ankle mobility
- core strength / rigidity
- knee stability
- upper back strength
- versatile, can be done with a variety of bars or odd objects
- you don’t have to push a huge grinding wheel around in a circle for years (even though it is cool as hell)
Rotational Halos
Benefits of Rotational Halos
- upper back mobility
- decelerative (anti-rotation) abilities
