Quick question, what does everyone do to train their core? I feel like my core is what is holding my squat back, and I want to strengthen it. I have started doing planks, and ab wheels.

I like doing sets of bench with my legs elevated and held together. It helps with the bench as well as forces me to keep the core tight throughout the whole set. Also some variations on the lower back extension machine, different angles and such. I am sure others will chime in with great ways they strengthen their core...good luckQuote:
