Strengthening Trunk/Rib area?


cross

Recommended Posts

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.

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 ;-)

I've been hoping to come across a good core workout with a wide range of movement. That looks wicked good. I'm not even sure I can do 8,9 and 10 with no weight at all.

gotta check this one out. Thanks!

btw. this looks like a good vid of it.

we all have our moments

That looks like an awesome workout. I've been looking for some new ab exercises to mix into my current routine. I think I'll start using these!
