Core muscle training

Author: John Gorman

Want to have a strong torso? Then stop training only the abdominal muscles, train everything. This program consists of 5 exercises designed to strengthen each muscle that stabilizes the core.

It’s no secret that core training plays an important role in bodybuilding. These muscles are responsible for stabilizing the entire core and are used in almost every exercise. The problem is that core training has become a workout for many athletes. However, if you look at the list of core muscles, there are many more of them:

• The transverse abdominal muscles (transversus abdominis) are paired muscles located under the oblique muscles of the abdomen. They are important components of the abdominal press.
  
  
• The rectus abdominis is better known simply as the abdominals. These are the same “cubes”.
  
  
• Transverse spinous muscle (transversospinalis) – unbends and turns the spine.
  
  
• The internal and external oblique muscles of the abdomen (obliquus abdominis) are paired muscle groups that connect the ribs and the pelvis.
  
  
• The erector spinae is a large muscle group that runs along the entire spine.

The essence of this program is simple: if you want to have a powerful torso, then you need to work out all of the above muscles. Perform the program twice a week, with a break of 3 days, for example, on Monday and Friday. The duration of the program is from 4 to 12 weeks, after which it is recommended to replace it.
