Is it a good protocol for bodybuilding? Of course not entirely, but much of it can be incorporated into a regime with noticeable gains/improvements. Getting all the body's systems working in sync with each other builds a functional body.
Well said.
And I apologize for my mis-conveyed narrow-mindedness.
My argument exists solely in the context of bodybuilding. I did not mean to suggest that core training is
completely useless or impractical.
It certainly does have a place, and your last statement sums up that idea perfectly.
But do you also agree that, as mentioned above, the same (or similar) results are attainable with older/more conventional methods of training?
If so, then to what degree?
In effect, if someone is already doing ample dumbbell work, deadlifts, squats, etc., then how great is their need to directly incorporate IFT?
I’m not necessarily looking for statistics or facts, either…your educated opinion is fine and welcomed.
