Core Strength – What are the Top 5 exercises?

0808-abs-med-ball-slam-1

Here is a recent post directed to me on the Elite Q/A:

Jim what are your 5 favorite standing abdominal movements?

____________________________________________________

Cory,

In no particular order, here are some of the top abdominal exercises.

– zercher squat, bracing the torso, under tension, while engaging movements of the lower body

– explosive med ball rotational throws, no deceleration

– core statics – lateral shuffles with agitation and breathing regulation, anti-rotation

– pull-ups – upper back muscular is an essential component of core strength

– deadlifts – full body movement requiring bracing (rigidity) and is essential for developing posterior chain, the other half of the core

________________________________________________

Why are pull-ups and essential part of core strength?  What is torso rigidity?  How do you perform zercher squats correctly?  Check out Combat Core!

    Hi Jim,
    Another great post. Could you provide examples of explosive med ball rotational throws, no deceleration and core statics – lateral shuffles with agitation and breathing regulation, anti-rotation. Thanks!

    Here are the Core Statics articles:

    Med Ball Rotational Throws are just throw with a med ball in a rotational pattern. As described, this means is excellent for building explosive power because the implement is released and there is no end-range deceleration.

    Event training cannot be beaten for Strength Athletics but for core building;
    Bench Press;
    Squat;
    Dead Lift;
    Rows;
    Clean and Jerks:
    Simple and effective and arms/legs get usage in directly

    Amen to the excercises mentioned above. Now clean and jerks and deadlifts are unheard of in commercial gyms(24hr fitness) and so on.

    These 5 can more than satisfy the needs of all athletes or strength trainers: dead lift, military press, squat, clean & jerks, bench press.

    those mentioned above, with pullups added
