I was recently featured in Muscle & Fitness magazine, where they highlighted one of the core exercises I’ve been using in my training — the incline Smith machine leg raise.
The article goes into detail on how I approach core development, not just from a visual standpoint, but from a functional one. In bodybuilding, the core isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about stability, control, and how efficiently you can transfer force through every movement.
This is something I’ve been placing more emphasis on, especially leading into major competitions. A stronger, more controlled core improves overall execution and helps maintain better structure across all poses.
