Core Training Made Simple, and also Really Effective

 

This weekend is a pretty big event. I’m going to be co-hosting the Spinal Health and Core Training workshop with Rick Kaselj, Jeff Cubos and Tony Gentilcore. There’s still some seats left, so if you’re planning on being in Edmonton this coming weekend and want to get your learn in, sign up by clicking the link above.

I’m going to essentially spill the beans and give some of the shining points of what my presentation is going to talk about so you can all salivate over wanting to be in the room as knowledge bombs go off left, right and center.

 

Fascial Anatomy and How to Lift Stupidly Heavy Things

Most biomechanical models only show how we can lift loads up to around 100 kg, meaning every powerlifter in existence who can pull over 225 is essentially proving physics wrong. One component that is the Rodney Dangerfield of anatomy because it don’t get no respect at all, especially as a contractile tissue, is fascia. I’ll show how fascia can generate more tension, contractile forces, and even produce joint torque through the low back, and how to get the most out of it.

Where to Start with a Core Training Program

With all the different core exercises out there and all the different variations on those exercises, how do you know what the right exercise is for the specific person you’re working with, at this very moment in time? I’ll show a systematic method for determining safe and effective program design while also maximizing the challenge and minimizing negative compensation patterns with the use of a simple algorythm. It’s really simple. Not just “Big Bang Theory nerds think it’s simple,” but your grandma who’s never worked out a day in her life could follow along and rock some worlds.

How to go from Broken to Badass

I’ll show some of the rehab based exercises I use with clients, and why they’re still more intense than 90% of the ab exercises you see done incorrectly all over the world. These are the same types of exercises I also give to high level and performance outcome clients who can tolerate big loads, and the only difference is a simple twist to a variable or two.

We’ll literally go through a 1000 different exercises

That’s not a typo. One.Thousand. Core. Exercises.

We’ll use the algorythm mentioned above to show how you can have an endless supply of core training exercises at your disposal, and how to get the most bang for your buck.

If you can’t make it to Edmonton, don’t worry, I still love you. We can cuddle some time. Promise.

We’ll be recording the seminar and have it available at a later date, so stay tuned to get your multi-dimensional core on.
