I haven't read any of his research concerning this topic but what he said actually prompted more questions about bracing. <BR/><BR/>What's your perspective about bracing? Good, bad, and/or depends?JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644525315506312319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618639792837880710.post-66602247683029718072009-02-15T15:25:00.000-05:002009-02-15T15:25:00.000-05:00Some of my favorite "core" exercises are my favori...Some of my favorite "core" exercises are my favorite shoulder and Lower Body exercises as well. Try doing some Posterior Lunges with an Opposite Arm Posterior Rotational Reach with a 10# Dumbbell or Power Ball in hand. Just watching the exercise you can see how by using these simple drives the core is loaded from one shoulder to the opposite him. The same can be said for a Posterior Lunge with Bilateral Posterior Arm Reach at Over Head Height. Again Throw a Med Ball in their hands and you'll feel the "core" eccentrically lengthening to stabilize...<BR/><BR/>The more you "play" with simple motions like a lunge and a squat and then add in arm drives the more you realize that core training is meant to be VERTICAL to steal a term from Joe and my buddy Todd Wright--If you get a chance to ever hear him speak you better do it...Great guy, and really understands Strength and Conditioning from a Functional Perspective. <BR/><BR/>Love what you're doing Joe, keep up the good work...I'll try to chime in when I think I can add something :)<BR/><BR/>Take care...<BR/><BR/>PATPat Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302100846439676656noreply@blogger.com
