Balance Core Training: Hypertrophy and Functionality
Core training should incorporate both hypertrophy-focused exercises and functional movements. While traditional hypertrophy training develops muscle size and strength, integrating isometric movements fosters proprioception and joint awareness. Dynamic training methods, involving eccentric and concentric phases, effectively enhance muscle capacity. It's crucial to balance direct core work with isometric exercises, like unilateral carries and split squats, to improve stability and coordination. The training approach may vary based on recovery needs; for instance, less intense phases can prioritize hypertrophy, while more intensive periods should focus on maintaining coordination through isometric work.
