When you do manage it my guess is your basic squat & other lifts will have improved aswell..

There are some really good links on youtube....

The best basic sore exercise(s) you can do daily are the plank & side planks, with some supermans to help strengthen the glutes and lower back regions..

Core stability is vital to bodybuilders and is neglected by some as it doesn't build 'mirror muscles' directly, which is short sighted. After all, a good TVA flattens the abdomen providing the perfect pallette for that 6-9 pack, plus a good core prevents injury.

Work your core and your compound lifts will improve and be safer ensuring that you can carry on training for years to come.

ah24, I know Cookie monster hasn't been around for a while as he has his own forum to run, hence you didn't quite understand the full intention of his post because perhaps you don't know him as well as we. Don't be offended, core stability has always been a subject close to his heart and when he was here regularly (dig,dig

) he used to fight this corner all the time and he is right it is very important.

Check out these 2 vids of him and play close attention to the number of plates he has on the bar when he does a lift..

Ricky Bruch 1

Ricky Bruch 2

The vids were done as he had a comeback some years after a forced retirement....

Id actually rather have that look tbh.

the curls look nigh on impossible, thats why older strength athletes like Reg Park etc really impressed me, they built great foundations and strength and then adapted it.

I got tired of it too mate, so have also switched my interests to toher things weightlifting wise..

There is a nack to doing those curls, you`ll see in the vids, plus a reason why he does them the way he does..

!00% agree regarding the older strength athletes, it has been written numerous times that grimek was still squatting 400-600lbs at a time in his 60`s

I've been doing core stability work for about 18 months seriously now, standing on a swiss ball looks impossible but I mastered it after about a month. I started with simple exercises like the plank and worked from there.
Since then I have progressed to other exercises such as swiss ball squats with a light barbell and medicine ball throws (these are the toughest).
It's helped my balance and co-oridination for rugby

These are the current exercises that I do:

Turkish Get Up
Russian Twists
Overhead Pulls
Woodchoppers
Zercher Lift
Ball Squat
Leg Raises (shoulders on ball legs at 90 degrees)
Swiss Ball Plank

Swiss Balls are good but a little overused. The success of your core training does not rely totally on the use of a swiss ball.

there aren't that many powerlifters that do these sort of exercises such as using a stability ball etc but all powerlifters work on there core a great deal. So much power and strength comes from ones core stability, it can make a great deal of difference.

I know a good few bodybuilders that train at a gym i do and could easily get on a leg press and out do me but put them under a bar with 300+ kg on and ask them just to stand there let alone squat it and they couldn't.

Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, goodmorning, stiff leg deadlifts, weighted cruches, standing crunches from a high rope, standing presses and many more are the norm for powerlifters on a weekly basis.
Other exercises such as yoke walking and farmers walks are also employed by some powerlifters to strength the legs and core in a different way.

You will rarely see a powerlifter using any sort of machine for an exercise.

In fact i have first hand experience of doing stability work such as medicine ball work and stability board.

Last year at the around the start of June i unfortuanlty tore my ITB and due to this could not squat for a upto 12 weeks, when i tore it I spoke to a female Personal traiiner at a gym i train at that is an expert in stability and core training. She devised me a training programme to follow whilst i couldn't squat which focused on stability and core strength, she said that if i work hard at it i would not lose any strength when i go back to squating. I was not so sure but did what she said.

After about 12 weeks of no squating i went back to squating when my injury was healed, started back light at just 140kg then increased the weight each week. I was due to compete in the World powerlifting championships at the end of November, within the 11 weeks i had back to squating i took my squat from 140kg in training to hitting 350kg in the comp (my previous best was 327.5kg) so as you can imagine after 12 weeks of from squating and then only 11 weeks back in training properly i was well chuffed to increase my PB by so much.

I guess the stability and core training i did during my injury period probably did pay off.

Nice post mate, looks like it paid off then, maybe I should look into it
