I fell for the "core exercises are useless just do squats" meme and I have a weak core which causes lower back pain when I squat and OHP
what workouts should I do to strengthen my core? I lot of shit I see recommended like hanging leg raises or crunches really just work your abs, Ive heard planks were good but those are agonizing so Id like to hear more recommendations
We got another one lads
Abs wheel
Hanging leg raises
Hanging knee raises
Basically this. Be careful working into ab wheel rollouts as you can frick your shit up if you do it with bad form.
Ab wheels are great but make sure you do it with ab crunch. Romanian deadlifts are also good for stretching hamstrings out to prevent lower back pain.
Will planks work as well
yes
i wish i could do these. my pullup bar hangs from my doorframe and my legs are too long so they touch the ground
2x4s and pipe, anon. You don't even need to cement them in the ground.
GET FRICKED TALLgay
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOT BANGING MY HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEART
6'3 PIECE OF SHIT TALL CHAD FRICK YOU!!
weighted hollow crunches do them with right form they will fricking burn your core
Deadlift without a belt
Do pullups
>Do pullups
I cant
Fat frick
Took me a few days when I first started to. Just hold on to the bar till you can lift yourself. You can achieve it in a Week by activating those muscles. Pullups are an exercise that everyone into fitness should be able to do.
What's your max for those lifts? Sure it's not shitty form?
You forgot deadlifts.
>Planks hurt so I won't do them
Actually, forget it. You'll never gonna make it.
I have ZERO reason to do an exercise that feels like shit when there are alternatives that dont make me feel like shit
When your progress gets harder at some stage you won't push through to the next level.
When progress gets harder he'll have more than enough time to push those boundaries for himself, you don't have to force it on everybody to progress always at the same rate on everything. This shitty attitude community-wide is the reason why a lot of people end up giving it up.
You can't say WAGMI when you discourage people like that.
Sounds like you didnt' squat and deadlift enough.
Cable crunches
Russian twists
Leg raises
All 3x10 with the highest weight you can manage, treat them like any other accessory lift.
just do hanging eg rasesik
Marching planks, band pressouts, lying leg raises (if done slowly with the whole back touching the ground it's a very difficult core exercise), GHD back extensions (important) and suitcase walks. It is incredibly important to also train your lower back as well with the GHD back extensions, since a strong lower back will prevent or mitigate further symptoms.
>t. fell for the "core exercises are a meme" meme and developed l5 spondylolysis
side planks, prone hollow body holds and pallof press are great to build your core
