  This was the single most comprehensive video on core training that I have seen. Thanks a ton. You are the GOAT.

  Wow. The first person to know what the core really is. So-called social media fitness experts think it&apos;s just the abs

  I’ve been training for nearly 20 years. Your videos are a great refresher of how important form and technique can be. Keep up the great work.

  This video was PHENOMENAL! 🔥 I’ve been trying to build a routine to bulletproof my core for Weeks and so much of the content online is either vague, incorrect or unclear. You covered so many questions that I’ve spent weeks trying to figure out (like: is a Landmine twist rotational or anti-rotational if you’re hips are locked still, how should I incorporate this into my normal routine, do I need to allocate specific exercises for flexion or will they already be covered from my other compound lifts etc). I take a much more holistic approach to my body, as apposed to bodybuilding for example, and I’ve been trying to build a well-rounded core routine for ages 🔥 Thank you! I’ve Subscribed due to this video 🙏🏻

  As someone who has been in physiotherapy for around 2 years because of scoliosis, I can attest that these are some of the exercises my physio has me doing that have made my core stronger and my back issues less severe :)

  My sports physio taught me the pallof press, ever since then its been part of my core routine.<br>I have hardly seen other creators create such good functional core videos. After looking at the video, I was glad to add some more exercises to my routine.

  the reverse crunch seems like a simple solution to work flexion. with the neck staying neutral I don&apos;t aggravate it anymore and I don&apos;t feel lower back pain like a traditional crunch when you are lifting the top part of your body instead of the lower.
