cross Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hey Everyone,Wondering if you guys have any advice on ways to strengthen the trunk/rib area? Ive suffered rib cartridge strains several times on the same side whilst training bjj, usually when im on the bottom of side control, so i think the injury is caused by a combination of the weight of the other person as well as twisting and stretching.Thanks for any info you can provide.

bushido_man96 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Probably lots of crunches and other ab work is what you would need to do. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoriKid Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Pull overs seemed to do a lot for me in strengthening the torso and hitting the intercostal muscles.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqvvcEaHJTY Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.

cymry Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Squats, presses, deadlifts and cleans. That will be all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_obvious Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Squats, presses, deadlifts and cleans. That will be all.I used to be of this opinion, until I had several discs blown out (not while training). Takeway being -- not everyone can do these exercises.I'm fortunate enough to train at a facility with excellent crunch and loaded torso rotation equipment. Another innovative way to load your core muscles, oddly enough, is the lat tower. Pull the bar down behind your head, resting on the posterior delts, and crunch downward. Those who have access to an inversion equipment -- and regularly use it -- can build decent core strength purely as a byproduct of your decompression exercises.Just a couple more cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
