Be Stable

DSC06406 Amy stable in the push up.

Midline stability is often referred to when we talk about simple movements, the push up and deadlift for example. Explaining the importance of protecting our spines is something that we hope carries over to more complicated movements. One area where athletes often forget this, and loose midline stability, is during overhead work. Be it the simple shoulder press or the more complicated jerk, all too often we athlete give away good midline position.
