Individual Pre-season Thread

[luvcricket]

I'm going to have to disagree with you FC. The crucial muscle is the Transverse Abdominus which lies underneath the rectus abdominus. The TA is the one which stabilises the spine and prevents energy 'leaking out' during movements.

transversrse, rectus abdminus......all sounds like a tranny searching for a butt just not footy

LMAO

Haven't been doing much at all apart from weights once or twice a week. Reckon I've put on a couple (or maybe a few ) kilos purely from pissing up hard and being a garbage guts. Not good. Still feeling the pinch of OP and not being allowed to run (which I really enjoy) is absolute shite

Starting this week I'll be getting back into activating and strengthening the TA and iliopsoas. The pushbike will also become my new best friend. Gonna try and lean up before Xmas, will hafta start eating less too.

Is the iliopsoas a hip flexor?

[Q.]

Sure is.

[The Big Shrek]

Why do you need to strengthen that? Is it affected by OP?

[Q.]

Not necessarily. Mine are weak and strengthening them will help with stabilisation.

[The Big Shrek]

I have heard about people with inactive as opposed to weak hip flexors. Performing an activation drill before exercising could be benificial.

How are you planning on strengthening them? I can't really see how you can place them through a range of motion under load or even if this would prove very benificial. Are you going to strengthen them isometrically or just doing drills like high skipping?

[Q.]

I've got a range of exercises for the TA and iliopsoas. Basic stuff like planks, side planks and then more complex stuff.

Should've resumed doing them weeks ago

Do you have to do planks on a pirate ship?

Basic stuff like planks,

plants are the worst thing possible for any one that has bad groin, i strongly advis those with groin problens not to do them. my specialist told me that cause a lot of groin troubles.

my pre season will consist of a lot of core stability work like fc said pelvic floor work, wont be doing a lot of running fair bit of bike work and pkllenty of weights

I try not to do my plants either, it's just that they're so perty lookin'. My groin troubles get real bad when the roses are in bloom.

[Q.]

Sorry mate, had to do it

Did your doc say why the planks are bad for your groin?
