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

      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.

        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.

        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.

    Cable crunches
    Russian twists
    Leg raises
    All 3x10 with the highest weight you can manage, treat them like any other accessory lift.

    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.
