Over the last couple of months I’ve seen massive improvements in my core strength. It has something that I lacked strength and control in for years due to my lack of using it.

Since I began training in ACLAÍ I’ve been introduced into the wonderful world of Gymnastic Strength Training (GST). There is a massive focus on core strength in this program and I’ve taken bits that are within my ranges and applied them into my own training.

Since then, my core strength has come on leaps and bounds. I still have a long way to go but for now this is what I am currently doing.

• Straight Arm Front Plank

• Hollow Body Hold

• Back Bodyline Drill

• Bird Dog
• Pallof Hold

• L-Sits

I will program these exercises in with my main lifts at least twice a week. With a hold of 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Building up my core strength has massive vast differences in every other area of my training and sports performance.
