The Core Method Strength Training Philosophy
There are no promises, only progress. Progress varies on your level of effort and commitment. There are no shortcuts, or excuses. If you can't do something, then we will find a way to do it. If you can't at all, then we do something else. We do the work. Always.
Our training is built around performing the core lifts: squat, bench press, overhead press, and deadlift. We break these lifts down into the movement groups of pushing, pulling, and hinging which opens a world of exercise we can perform. We practice these exercises frequently and repeatedly to drive intensity, focusing on form and technique to ensure safety and progress is made.
Functional movements such as plank variations and loaded carries are added to improve stability and core strength. Single leg, unilateral, and cardio and conditioning are implemented too. They are a fantastic way to build a well-rounded training program and improve overall work capacity.
