Alright so we know bracing the core is about getting into a neutral spinal position, pushing the ribcage down through diaphragmic action (like your taking a shit and trying to snap it off at the same time by clenching the ass cheeks), and pretend someone is about to punch you in the guts.
What I don't quite understand is how coaches refer to this position as being so tight that your spine should be as solid as a truss, your whole back as rigid as rigor mortis. Well, when I am maximally braced I can still twist, wiggle from side to side, and bend out of my neutral position to hyper extension should I wish.
What additional cues or techniques are necessary to achieve the tightness that peeps such as Rippetoe and Ed Coan talk about in youtube training vids?
