Using a 20 kilo weight bar to strengthen the core muscles
Using a 20 kilo weight bar to strengthen the core muscles
We talked about the importance of strengthening the core for general health, but also for improving our striking power , evading possibilities and throwing techniques…
Drill:
Take a bar that’s about 25 percent of our body weight.
Start moving the bar around our head, moving it in different directions and different distances from our body.
Tips:
• Knees bent
• Different directions and distances different muscles that work...
• Start with steady movements instead of jerks
• Hold tight the stomach and back muscles…
• Breath normally
• As we feel more comfortable – we can increase the speed of the weight movement.
• Steady, slow movements and jerks both train different muscles – mix the use of them
• Slowly put in more hip turning and motion.
• Stretching is very important after this exercise.
