  • Your core is responsible for so much in your training--whether directly or indirectly. It's important that you train your WHOLE core and all it's movements so you can get stronger, lift heavier, and move better! In this video I go over all the movements your core is responsible for and how to train those movements. Hope you enjoy!

      Slow straight leg leg lift and hold parallel to the ground for a few seconds, then slowly descend. Also slow L-sit scissor kicks are brutal. Not 1 in a thousand gym guys can do them.

      This is not you can achieve without steroids.
      And no, steroids are not only for being huge. Look at her chin, for example: it is getting some male aspects due to the testosterone.
      Don't copy people, study and develop your training based on how your body reacts to it.
      You can have some insights from people training, but never copy.

    The Superman is one of the most underrated and humbling core exercises there is. It initially did expose my back as the weak link.
    I could barely hold the pose and contraction for 20 sec and doing a plank for 2-3 min was common place for me at that point. Since adding Superman's in to my daily mobility, it has helped me a TON.

    • @swilhelm3180
      @swilhelm3180 25 днів тому +1

      I don't even know why people even bother with the plank. It's such a nothing exercise. Want better abs? Use dip bars and lift your legs up slowly til they are horizontal with the floor, hold for a few seconds then SLOWLY LOWER THEM. Also try slow scissor kick L-sits. Doing them slow is brutal. Or use a Roman Chair for more support for your arms/shoulders. To begin try lifting one leg at a time, never bending your knees like everyone does at the gym. That's another nothing exercise.

    • @ryandeffley7652
      @ryandeffley7652 24 дні тому +8

      @swilhelm3180 - The plank is about building core stability in the transverse abdominis. Not building a six-pack. 😆
      The fact that you're focused on "abs" shows ignorance as to why the plank is even used.

    • @swilhelm3180
      @swilhelm3180 23 дні тому

      @@ryandeffley7652 After you do what I mentioned above you'll realize how pointless planks are. Everything mentioned above requires lots of core stability. You could do a plank in your sleep after getting to that level. It's a nothing exercise. Or a senior's exercise if they have been inactive for decades. There it has a function. The most basic introductory exercise. Like brisk walking.
      If you want to discuss something it tends to work better if you don't insult the other party.
      And for core stability doing a superman on gymnastic rings near floor level works very well. Put your feet in suspended stirrups like TRX with the rings for your hands for even more core stability work.

      I had an injury where I ruptured a disc in my lower back. The strain Supermans put on the lower back make them a non-starter for those of us with lower back injuries.

    • @ryandeffley7652
      @ryandeffley7652 17 днів тому +1

      @mylesleggette7520 - Have you actually tried doing one, or are you just assuming out of fear? The cornerstone of recovery is forcing the affected area to be put under microdoses of strain so it gradually gets stronger over time.
      So you'd do a Superman for 3-5 sec a day, and when that gets easier, then 7-10 secs, etc..If you avoid doing things that work the lower back, it never has any reason to get stronger.
      It's in the same vein as an allergy shot. They microdose you with traces of what you're allergic to so your body builds up a tolerance over time.

    Best thing I ever did was training abs between sets. Even 10 reps between sets adds up to a big total. Targeting lower abs and obliques more gave me better total results. I'm in my 40s, not huge but cut like a sandwich. I drink beer, eat pizza but just have always trained hard since I was a teenager.

    @anikatasnim6001 22 дні тому

    8:28 generally it’s not a good idea to tuck your belly in to engage your core. This sort of practice can easily result in hypertension in the pelvic floor. Alternatively, breathe in deep with your diaphragm, expanding your belly sidewise, which will engage the transverse muscles. Hold the breath for a few seconds before releasing slowly. Use this breathing technique during all exercises, it doesn’t only engage your core but also increases endurance and facilitates mind and muscle connection .

      If you don’t overdue the weighted sidebend it will strengthen your side waist/obliques…the twisting can be problematic if you’re particular structure(s) aren’t favorable for them.
      Give them both a try and see how they feel.
