Exercise Progressions Series- Core Training Progressions


In my talks last year a lot of the focus was on the training progressions we use at MBSC. However, the slides that contained the progressions were tough to read. I decided over the next few weeks to post a bunch of them here instead of emailing people the sheets. I’m going to start with Anti-Extension Core Training Progressions:

The first and simplest anti-extension exercise is a front plank. The front plank is simple and probably doesn’t warrant a video.

Next on the progression list would be a Stability Ball Rollout. This might be my favorite anti-extension exercise.

Next would be plank slides

followed by Wheel Rollouts

then Bodysaws

and lastly Front Plank Rows- in the front plank row and plank slides we get a combination of anti-rotation and anti-extension

    A much better reference would be this one from The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

    Willardson, J. M. (2007). Core stability training: applications to sports conditioning programs. The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research, 21(3), 979-985.

    Yes, I agree that there were parts of the article that I didn’t agree with seeing that it did seem to bash the concept. However, there were bits and pieces that I thought helped. Probably not the best article to reference to for core training in general, but it did share a good point here and there.

    Jaison- if I remember that article correctly, I felt it had a strong bias? I tired to read the entire article on PubMed but couldn’t get it. I thought it sort of trashed the whole “core training” idea?

    I am so glad to see that more people are understanding the importance of core strength and the progression that needs to be implemented throughout a program. As a strength and conditioning coach for a university, it is very important to me to make sure that I continue to keep athletes healthy through core strength while in-season training is going on. During off-season training, progressions in core strength means the ability to perform different exercises that call for very high core strength. There is an article I read that goes on to tell about the importance of core strength, and also how much it has been neglected by so many in the elite athlete field.
