Tip Sheet



One of my newfound and favorite core training exercises is found in the video above (M14 W3 Deadlift Day) and the way I plan to progress on this exercises is through increased periods of static holds and adding Range of Motion and repetitions.

Having a strong core is almost a necessity if you want to sling heavy weights. Doing weighted heavy awkward exercises like Swiss Ball Jackknife Pikes really helps in strengthening the core. Have 15-20 exercises in your arsenal and rotate them per session.

Focus on the function of the core. Situps and crunches aren't core training. Rotational (woodchops), anti-rotational (pallof press), dynamic (jackknifes) and also static (planks and side planks) exercises are a neccessity for a super strong core.

Static core exercises which resist motion and use loads are the best exercises to build your core strength. Never shirk these exercises because they are the biggest bang for your buck.

Anti-rotational static core exercises are the most superior core strengthening exercises one can perform. They are the biggest bang for your buck and you must throw them into your training.

As a teenage fatty, I developed the habit of walking around with my stomach tucked in all the time. I thought it helped making me look "slim"er. It didn't and it was a waste of a whole lot of energy. Instead, I should focused on heavy core training.
