At end of squatting i like a heavy heavy rack out, stand there for atleast a minute. This seems to work my core well enough. Defo advise planks alot of guys doing them these days. | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | Ian, have you got access to a GHR apparatus? Sit-ups on the GHR are great. Hold a plate behind your head to make them harder. | ||

 #IStandByMillsy Member 4287, 2614 posts SQ 300, BP 310, DL 250860.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | A perfectly time thread!  One of the key things I need to sort out to! I was also recommended to try some more beltless squats and deads to help with the core stability - but I have yet to try this at the heavier (relatively  ) weights | ||
