  • Robbty18.... Eric does have some intersting insights. The "core" defined by many as the muscles from the shoulder to just above the knee (Gray Cook def). Now some like Gary Gray, PT wonder if the core is singing like "Wow" or screaming like "ouch".

    The pushup position is considered part of the normal developmental stage of going from on the back to upright and walking. As you note how much the "core" needs to fire is up for debate.

    Much of the research points to TIMING and SEQUENCE.

  • front abs

  • These can also be done on gymnastic rings for those that can't afford the trx

  • What about the multifidus, diaphragm, pelvic floor, QL, thoracolumbar fascia..........?

    Would love for the word "core" to be thrown out the window because it is overused and far too vague. If you're talking about recruiting the "anterior core," I'd like to have a concrete definition of the term.

    Some would say that if you're recruiting the rectus abdominis in such a rollout movement, you're actually recruiting improperly and destabilizing the spine.

  • You're not answering my question. All I'm trying to figure out is what comprises the "anterior core"?

  • You just named every abdominal muscle. So what differentiates the "anterior core" from just "the core"?

  • As I understand, the anterior core group is made up of the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, and the transverse abdominis

  • You mind explaining which abdominal muscles make up the "anterior core"?

  • anterior core is just the abdominals

  • What is the "anterior core"? Isn't this movement in the sagittal plane?
