The core is by far the most important part of an athlete’s body. It allows you the stability to make cuts, jump high, throw faster, and hit harder. It is also a much neglected body part in most strength training programs. When it is included it is called functional training and they use wobble boards and buso balls. We have found that a mixture of heavy abs training twice a week with abs circuit training twice a week has done wonders for our athletes. After implementing this into our programs we have guys lifting heavier and running faster. Here is a video of one of our athletes performing an abs circuit with a keg.
