No spam – just thoughtful training advice
Whether you’r stuck in your home gym with just a barbell or just looking to mix up your core training with some barbell exercises, you’ve come to the right place. The beautiful thing about the barbell is that the compound exercises it gives you access to are in themselves some of the most effective ways to develop a strong core, but here we have some barbell exercises that specifically target the core musculature plus a tough bi-set you can add into your next training session.
These exercises can be great to just add in some variation to your training to keep things fun and interesting. It’s rare to use the barbell to target the core specifically, so if thats the only piece of equipment you have access to knowing these variation is a huge bonus.
Landmines are an excellent way to add some challenging rotation variations into your core training. The landmine full contact twist is one of the most effective ways to target on feild rotation dynamic for sports performance. This aggressive rotation is applicable to so many sports making it a key piece of the puzzle for those training for sports performance.
These are some very advanced variations that should only be performed by those looking push their training to the next level, not people who are beginner to intermediate level. Always be sure not to attempt exercises you’r not ready to perform, if your not sure, take the cautious approach.
