Your core is made up of multiple muscles that stabilize your pelvis. The term “core strength” gets thrown around a lot when really the core’s function is to be stable, or resist force.
We teach it and progress it

Step 1: Cat/Cow Mobility Drill
In order to learn what neutral FEELS like, we must first learn and feel how our pelvis and spine moves.
We do this in an unloaded controlled setting and rep it MULTIPLE times to drive cognitive skill acquisition.

Step 2: Push-up Plank Hold
We deviate our center of mass by extending our base of support by going into a push-up position.
This places force on the core to become unstable
The goal is to resist it:
- Hold thoracic flexion/scap upwd rot
- Squeeze abs
- Squeeze glutes
- breathe

Step 3: Eccentric Push-up
Can we move dynamically and hold position?
- Proper scap movement while maintaining posture integrity

We have a long ways to go, but we are getting better!
Our training standards are our standards.
We do not budge or let up on learning these positions.
Because we know once they are instilled, it will allow us to train harder and longer with health
