Balanced Arm Press
(Pectoralis)
The body must be connected, and core strength is what accomplishes this. Most sports require a strong trunk for proper posture or specific patterns of movement within an activity. A strong trunk is the source of many movements and synchronizes the upper body with the lower body. Therefore, all sides of the trunk must be trained – the abdominal muscles for flexion, lower-back muscles for extension, obliques for rotation, and all of them together for stabilization and proper posture. Of course, these muscles never work in isolation. The muscles in the lower body should form a solid foundation and be able to transfer forces from the ground up. The result is optimal whole body core stability.
