Be honest, have you bought into the core stability/unstable surface training myths at any point in your career? I know I have! Don't forget to check out our awesome and growing* community over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drjacobgoodin *one patron equals growth, right?? 🙃
This question is so fascinating to me. As a table tennis player, how much should I invest in stablization/balance exercises? It seems to me that the ability to recover quickly after a shot is such a game changer so often.
Some of us do actually do sports on unstable surfaces - swimmers, rowers, springboard divers... in these cases I would imagine expanding stability exercises beyond PT might indeed be valuable.
When observing core stability exercises its always been interesting to look into the differences of machines versus free weights. Your explanation to some of the differences/advantages between the two was very informative.
I really enjoyed learning about the different benefits and comparing machines v.s free weights. It allowed me to have a better understanding of when I should be using each.
I have done a lot of core stability training within my workouts however not for the specific reasons brought up in this video, but now I see that just doing ground-based free weight exercises get me similar results so thank you!
So cool to learn about utilizing ground-based exercises to improve core stability while also considering training objectives and not totally overdoing it with instability training when we are aiming to improve athlete performance.
I found this video helpful with understanding more about core stability. I also liked how you mentioned that doing the big lifts like (squat, deadlift, etc) they engage our core in a good way, great reminder!
It is definitely true that many people aren't aware that the midsection is so vital to large movements like pull-ups! I have found in my own training that I perform pull-ups far more effectively (and easily) if I warm up my core first with a few quick sets of knee tucks or planks.
This was a super interesting video as it definitely highlights the benefits of compound movements vs. isolation and free weights vs. machines for different areas of muscular improvement. Having proper and sufficient core stability will allow the athlete to maintain a solid base and allow the athlete to be less susceptible to injuries.
This video helped debunk some myths I have believed about core stability and unstable surface training. I now realize how important ground based free weights are, and how beneficial they are to the human body!
Loved the section on core training looking at the core as a whole not just the abs. Thought it was really interesting that compound movements may have greater core activation than isolation movements and definitely are more sport specific!
There were many different things I learned from this lecture. However, increasing an athletes core is super crucial as it can help better the foundation of force production in both upper and lower extremities.
I really found this video to be very interesting because I want to keep learning about different ways to do resistance training since I am not really always going to the gym so to learn about other methods is always interesting for me.
I really liked how you made a point to note the differences between core training and core exercises, that really helps for me to take a step back and think about it.
I liked how you emphasized the importance of a strong and stable core! I knew that having good core strength was important but I didn't know that a strong core allows your body to effectively transmit force from the lower parts of the body to the upper body and vice versa, so interesting!
I like the idea of performing all your free weight exercises first and then ending with machine exercises. Since your muscles will be fatigued, the machine can help in keeping good form.
I found it really interesting that exercises like squats and deadlifts will train and activate your abdominals just as much as targeted core exercises.
I found it very insightful that bodyweight training has its place in every program and not just for novice athletes. I believe that having a well-rounded program should include bodyweight training to help start a given movement with just your BW then eventually add load.
I find the development of a maximally functional core for athletes involved in locomotion sports to be super interesting! There are so many different ways to train the core that could have potential benefits for athletes. One core training method I love for basketball and baseball players specifically is cross body med ball throws!
All the core stability and standing on off balance objects I did growing up LOL!DO feelnllhat those exercises did help prevent some gnarly ankle turns and like you mentioned help my core synchronize when it needed to contract
I like how you talked about how if you want to really strengthen your core, it is better to do more of the exercises where bracing is required or incorporating the Valsalva maneuver instead of just doing things like crunches, etc.
I was also surprised to see that bodyweight training was "alternative." As a rock climber, I do a lot of body weight training because it's super useful for my sport.
I learned that there's a time and a place when incorporating instability exercises. They're beneficial in developing proprioception, but are not for performance training.
I knew that instability exercises would lower force output but I never knew it would to such a high degree. The long term training must lead to such higher force output overall.
Would exercises such as med ball side tosses be an effective way for sport specific engagement for the core as it is not a isolation exercise and engages many joints and muscles in the body?
When it comes to odd-object type training and new tools to train, it is important to figure out if the product is just a money grab or can actually help train.

I found utilizing machines to rebuild loss of ROM from injury very helpful
Hi Dr Goodin Passed the CSCS this past week in large part to your lectures! Thank you for doing them. Will pass them on to friends and classmates
Bro can you please help me to
Am from India
Really enjoyed learning about how having strong core stability will help in having a better foundation.
I liked how you distinguished core training from core exercises.
When observing core stability exercises its always been interesting to look into the differences of machines versus free weights. Your explanation to some of the differences/advantages between the two was very informative.
This video was so helpful in understanding the importance of core stability and how to maximize gains in alternative modes.
I like how you pointed out the difference between core training and core exercises!
This was a great video and a good reminder of how using machines can be a great way to target specific core muscles to ultimately improve stability!
I really enjoyed learning about the different benefits and comparing machines v.s free weights. It allowed me to have a better understanding of when I should be using each.
I have done a lot of core stability training within my workouts however not for the specific reasons brought up in this video, but now I see that just doing ground-based free weight exercises get me similar results so thank you!
I liked learning about how the core is the linkage between the upper and lower body! It helped me have a better visualization of the core
I liked how you mentioned anthropometrics and how we all have our own set of strengths and weakness when it comes to resistance training.
So cool to learn about utilizing ground-based exercises to improve core stability while also considering training objectives and not totally overdoing it with instability training when we are aiming to improve athlete performance.
I have been seeing a lot about Calisthenics lately and it looks so cool! It's just crazy how much strength those people have! Thank you for the video!
I found this video helpful with understanding more about core stability. I also liked how you mentioned that doing the big lifts like (squat, deadlift, etc) they engage our core in a good way, great reminder!

This video is great for really spicing up my workouts
This video helped debunk some myths I have believed about core stability and unstable surface training. I now realize how important ground based free weights are, and how beneficial they are to the human body!
Thank you for another helpful video! I liked how you pointed out machines being helpful in injury rehab/recovery.
Loved the section on core training looking at the core as a whole not just the abs. Thought it was really interesting that compound movements may have greater core activation than isolation movements and definitely are more sport specific!
I enjoyed learning about the benefits of bodyweight training -- there are so many! Super underrated!
There were many different things I learned from this lecture. However, increasing an athletes core is super crucial as it can help better the foundation of force production in both upper and lower extremities.
I'm glad you differentiated between "core training" and "core exercises"! That's really helpful in understanding these concepts.
I really found this video to be very interesting because I want to keep learning about different ways to do resistance training since I am not really always going to the gym so to learn about other methods is always interesting for me.
I really liked how you made a point to note the differences between core training and core exercises, that really helps for me to take a step back and think about it.

Now I understand the difference between core training and core exercises.
Was really fascinated about how you emphasized core stability for the muscles with free weights then with machines
I liked the section on core training looking at the core as a whole not just the abs because I think this can apply to the rest of the body as well.
I like the idea of performing all your free weight exercises first and then ending with machine exercises. Since your muscles will be fatigued, the machine can help in keeping good form.
I found it really interesting that exercises like squats and deadlifts will train and activate your abdominals just as much as targeted core exercises.

It makes a lot of sense that stability links to greater force production
I think that the difference between core training and core exercises is very important to know.
I learned that there's a time and a place when incorporating instability exercises. They're beneficial in developing proprioception, but are not for performance training.
I knew that instability exercises would lower force output but I never knew it would to such a high degree. The long term training must lead to such higher force output overall.
Would exercises such as med ball side tosses be an effective way for sport specific engagement for the core as it is not a isolation exercise and engages many joints and muscles in the body?
This video definitely allowed me to understand how a bosu ball could have no place in a S&C gym, haha
I found it interesting how isolation core movements strengthen the core but don't strengthen it in a way that can transfer into athletic performance.
Thank you for saying the bosu ball and unstable training is NOT beneficial for improving strength/power.
When it comes to odd-object type training and new tools to train, it is important to figure out if the product is just a money grab or can actually help train.
Basetball bounce house is a great new sport idea
I think it is interesting how free weights allow for more specificity than machines.
I was surprised to learn that instability devices can lower force output of an exercise by such a high degree
I enjoy bodyweight training as it is versatile, convenient, and develops overall body control, but it can be difficult to continue to overload.
Is there a Ch. 15 CSCS video? Thanks
never heard of valsalva before but it's a forceful exhalation to slow the heart rate?
Loved the section on core training looking at the core as a whole not just the abs. Thought it was really interesting that compound movements may have greater core activation than isolation movements and definitely are more sport specific!
