Core Training Exercises

[Gyakuto145 154]

For a couple of months I’ve added a standard ‘youtube’ core muscle exercise routine to the end of my thrice weekly gym session.

I really feel no particular benefit or indeed different, so I added cable trunk rotations and sit ups/crunches and Roman chair hyper extensions. I do enough reps to get a burn or hold the static exercises for 30 seconds(side planks anre very challenging) and sit ups/rotations to failure. I’ve experience no real soreness except in my lower lats and as I’ve said, no particular benefit from these apparently “…vital set of muscles” (what are they even doing?)

Has anyone had a similar experience or can offer any tips to optimise my sessions?

Rollouts. I swear by 'em, and sometimes at them. They even sort-of work as an exercise with added resistance if you use a loaded barbell as the implement. The other option is gymnastics-style core work, L-sits and all that. You can work up to them with a number of progressions, but then you won't be reading this because you in your superiority have decided that I'm not worth reading.
