Hi, I’m Jerry Shreck and I have been a Division I Collegiate Head Strength Coach for past 13 years. Over that time, I have trained literally 1000’s of athletes, developed and worked with professional athletes, and done much work in the area of injury prevention techniques. Before this I worked for three years as a Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer/Strength Coach at a very athletic Jr. and Sr. High School.
What I have learned over the years is that there are many ways to train athletes and believe me; I have made many mistakes during this time.
We ALL know that the most important area of an athlete’s body is their CORE musculature. Heck, that is all you ever hear about. Everyone has an opinion and some study which always ends up with….. but more research has to be done.
Hey, I wish it was as easy to just tell an athlete to go and do 100 sit-ups and your core training for the day is good, but that’s just not going to give athletic results.
“CORE” is more than just ABS. It is the mid-section between your chest and hip flexors, your upper back to your glutes, and the entire area around the sides of your torso.
By this explanation, you clearly see that sit-ups are just not going to get it done. I want to be clear that your abdominal muscles are very important, but more importantly your entire mid-section needs to work together for maximum results.
I worked with a professional baseball pitcher once and he was a closer for a major league team. His abdominal mid-section was not “defined” and if you saw him out on the street you would never think he was a professional athlete.
What made him successful was his ability to maximize his leverage and utilize his core muscles properly to achieve optimal velocity for his pitches.
What I am providing for you is a PROVEN reference library of core exercises and REAL training programs with the instructions of how to easily implement them directly into any existing weight-training program.
These are the exact methods and programs I have been using for years. I want to be straight up front with you. If you are an experienced strength coach or trainer, most of these exercises you will be familiar with. My approach of how these are placed into weight training routines and how to group which exercises on which days will probably be of most interest to you.
If you are a coach or athlete looking for direction and something easy to follow and do with outstanding results, than this is a must have.
Over a 2-year period I wrote down tons of actual core training workouts and circuits that I did with my athletes. Basically, if I liked how the workouts went after they were done; I would quickly jot them down on scrap paper for me to later review and perform again. The following is an exact piece of scrap paper with circuits that were collected during this period of time.
The Athlete’s Complete Guide To Core Training was put together to Answer ALL the core related Training Questions that are so often Asked of me. I held nothing back and put everything I do with my teams into one entire Training Manual.
Here is what I could have done with this manual; I could have advertised it with the following headlines:
The reality is, yes this manual can develop those abdominal muscles (beach muscles!!) that most individuals secretly desire. But if you want that model definition, you will need to place your...
