Eric Cressey mentions anterior core stability, how would one build this? (I’m assuming it’s anti extension/side flexion/rotation work like planks, side planks, dead bugs, pal of presses, an roller and so on?)
- You need to have adequate core control - specifically anterior core control - to be able to appropriately position the pelvis and lumbar spine. This is especially true if we’re talking about an overhead squat, as it’s harder to resist extension with the arms overhead.

For anterior core stuff, it wouldn’t be so much side planks or standard Pallof presses, but the other stuff you mentioned (and overhead Pallof Press variations) would definitely fit the bill. It’s almost a matter of semantics, but the anti-rotation/lateral flexion stuff isn’t necessarily “just” the anterior core.
