Just because you have a rippling set of abs doesn’t automatically mean you have a stable core. Eating well & building the muscles of the core with exercises like crunches may give you a chiseled 6 pack, but a stronger core doesn’t always mean there’s less chance for buckling and breaking under tension.📝
You see, each muscle that surrounds the spine does need to have sufficient amount of strength to contract and ‘turn on’. When the muscles of our core contract, stiffness is created. Much like a guy-wire that attaches and holds up a radio tower, each muscle that surrounds the spine must provide a certain amount of tension and stiffness to maintain the strength of the spine as a whole and keep it from buckling and becoming injured.✅
However, here’s what most people don’t understand. Many people who develop back pain already have strong backs! While exercises like Russian twists, sit-ups or back extensions from a GHD machine may be great at increasing strength and helping you get that ripped core, they do little to increase core stiffness.🥊
In order to enhance the quality of stiffness, one must train the core differently. This comes through the approach of using isometric exercises built to enhance muscular endurance and coordination and then training the core to resist excessive movement (not create it).📝
When you change how you train the core, your performance in the gym will improve. Dr. Stuart McGill always says, “Proximal stability enhances distal athleticism & power.” To learn more about this approach, check out my YouTube video “3 Core Exercises You Should Do Everyday!”📲
