Pilates and strength training go together beautifully! Strength training loads the bones while Pilates focuses on smaller stabilizing muscles like deep core and hip stabilizers that often get neglected. Classical Pilates can add so much value to your form while weight training.
Stronger stabilizers mean better joint support, which helps your bigger muscles lift heavier. Additionally, Pilates emphasizes body awareness, which translates directly into strength training, like cleaner squat form, more stable shoulders for bench presses and less compensating in general.
The two go hand in hand so you can have more powerful lifts.
