A powerful core is the bedrock of strength in the Big Three.Strengthening your core for powerlifting involves:
- Anti-Extension: Planks, ab rollouts.
- Anti-Rotation: Pallof presses, landmine rotations.
- Anti-Lateral Flexion: Side planks, heavy carries.
- Dynamic: Leg raises, sit-ups (secondary).
"Your core isn't just your abs; it's your entire trunk."
