You will notice that some of the people with the strongest core muscles donât even do any core work.
That is because they are focusing on multi-joint lifts (working more than one muscle group at a time) instead of single joint lifts (one muscle group at a time, such as biceps curl). When it comes to multi-joint moves, you have plenty to choose from: deadlifts, squat variations, lunges, kettlebell exercises, rows, medicine ball throws, Olympic lifts and powerlifts all stimulate a lot of muscle at one time.
The core has no choice but to work hard to stabilize the spine as you perform these types of exercises. Certain machines allow you to work multiple muscle groups at once but they donât have the kind of core demand that youâre looking for because of the fixed range of motion, meaning that less contribution is required of your core musculature.
So instead of doing so many, triceps pushdowns, cardio and machine moves, stick to the basics. *
