Stabilize First, Move Second
We are doing a lot of weight lifting these days. It’s important in every single lift that you tighten up that torso before you even approach the bar.
An unstable or loose core can lead to all sorts of trouble! When your spine is under load, like when you lift something, it’s at risk of injury. But if you keep your butt out, your chest up and you tighten those abdominal muscles, there’s a good chance you can move that load without injury.
Steps To Stability
- Screw those feet in the ground
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together
- Tighten those abs
- Engage your glutes
- Hinge back with those hips
How often do we want you to do this? Every time!
