My teacher only cares about core

[Wizardsry]

its always the fkin core and abs. we bench press we worry about the core we do squats the core we do deadlifts the fkin core again. he says if u do legs or deadlift yes u may get big legs and big back but it wont help your whole body while doing legs or deadlift with core flexed works everything. should i do that or no?

Keeping your core flexed while deadlifting and squatting is proper form.

Your teacher has you doing squats and deads, you are already 10 steps ahead of most kids your age.

your coach is an idiot . Working your core wont all of a sudden work your bicep ! , but he is right when he says tense your abs when deadlifting and squating but generally your abs will tighten up anyway . your core strenght will only increase when you do core training .

Core strength is important, its your stability. And you should be flexing the core while deadlifting and squatting, I actually dont understand how people cant do this while training heavy.

And btw squats and deads are amazing core work. Still IMO people should do a bit of static core stuff just for general strength and conditioning. If your coach has you squatting and deadlifting, I already like him.

and why wouldnt you what a strong, conditioned core that helps you perform better in pretty much every single physical activity on the planet?

your coach sounds like he knows what hes on about, listen to him. just because he doesn't have you doing db curls. core work is involved in 90% of all moves and helps improving form and directing power.
