Hello /fit/izens
I am ashamed to say that I tend to neglect my core. I was wondering, though, would adding a set core routine to my normal rotation benefit performance in DL's or squats? More spefically would it help in improving form for those or other exercises? Also any recommended core exercises would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

dude I enrolled in Pilates and there are a bunch of hot women in the class and my core is now ROCK HARD after 2 months.

yes, many people will mistakenly doubt your masculinity but pilates is mad healthy and i reccomend it for any lifter. just twice a week for one hour. get in a class is Recc'd tho cuz technique is not exactly intuitive.

do any exercise you normally do while standing ontop of an upside down bosu ball.

Perks:

1. forces you to use other-wise neglected muscles used to stabilize and support the weight differently since you arent leveraging yourself.

2. Your core will be a piece of iron, and you will be stronger in every way after 2 weeks of this.

Drawback: You won't be lifting as much because this makes each exercise alot harder.

So, if you're interested in strength and, when you cut your bf % enough, i ridiculous 8 pack, go for this.

If you're a fgt interested in impressing people with how much you can lift at the gym, don't.

can you use one of those instead, since it's not 100$ like a bosu ball
