Chloe Kim's Trainer Max Artsis Shares 5 Killer Workout Moves
Side Plank + Adduction
“Ensuring we create a strong core in all three dimensions is crucial for Chloe’s success. In addition, this more advanced version of a side plank demands strength from the adductors and helps to protect her MCL.”
Anti-Rotation Reverse Lunge
“In order to get great at creating rotation, it’s important to understand how to resist rotation. In this exercise, we focus on maintaining a rigid posture during the reverse lunge. The more energy she can store by resisting rotation, the more power she can create when allowing for it.”
Plank Drag Through
“Similar to the last exercise, but in a different plane of motion, the goal here is to square the hips and maintain a strong core throughout the movement.”
Low to High Woodchop
“Now it’s time to rotate! This exercise allows us to create power in the rotational plane, and more specifically, vertical power while rotating.”
Trap Bar Deadlift
“I believe that this exercise should be a staple in every single athlete’s program. How it is utilized may be specific, but its existence should be universal. The trap bar is one of the best ways for athletes to deadlift.”
