Her Core/Abs Tips Are GOLD!👍🏼

[0:12]So a similar problem I see with a lot of lifters is pushing the stomach straight forward when attempting to stabilize the trunk. I call this the power lifter power belly, and it often shows up with an overextended back when lifting, especially squats. So part of our fix is first teaching how to stack the ribs on top of the pelvis. Ensuring proper positioning before you start movements decreases injury risk and enhances movement performance. Now proper bracing the way that I teach it to enhance core stability optimally is a lateral ab engagement, stick the fingers in the side and push them out. This is the way that I start off every single core stability exercise, such as the Miguel Big three core stability routine. So you create that lateral brace and then you start the movement for 10-second holds. This is how you position and brace your core before most barbell lifts.
