How do you train your core? I'm doing compound lifts which involve activation of the core, but I feel it's not enough, so I'm looking to add isolation for my core.
I tried hanging leg raises, but my arms give out before my core. Also tried ab wheel rollouts, but I'm not strong enough yet. Currently I'm only doing planks, which I feel is not enough.
I was wondering if any of you have tips/advice on how to best train your core and what worked for you. With core I mean the obliques, abs and erector spinae.
Would be nice to hear from some of you more experienced lifters.
Thanks

Side planks Stomach vacuums Brace your core during every movement

deadlift, squat, bench, ohp

Is there any real reason to train core unless you're going for heavy powerlifting training?
Noah Phillips
Theres literally every reason to train your core doofus. Do you want trained stabilizers or do you want to look like a crooked bastard?
Nathan Long
Try the dragonflag and front lever progressions.

In my original post I said I'm doing compound movements. For me this includes: squat, ohp, deadlift, bench, weighted chinups.

Leg raises are very good. How come your arms five out before your core? Is it a form thing? When I do them I make sure I pause at the bottom and hold very briefly at the top so momentum plays no part in the rep. Maybe that would help?

There's nothing wrong with them. Quit falling for a meme.

fighting, most of the power for your kicks and punches are going to come from a strong core allowing rotation, it also means that you'll be able to take more hits to the stomach and it'll protect your vital organs.
besides that, a strong core is attractive, and helps with everything athletic

Maybe this won't work for you since I'm a skelly, but just hold six inches for as long as possible for 3 sets then do 100 sit ups. Feels p good when you're done.

Is it DOMS? How do you know your core is strong enough? What are you hoping to achieve with "core isolation" exercises? Better ab definition? >so I'm looking to add isolation for my core. >isolation >core

That's why fighters of all types have been doing them since the dawn of time, and have rock-hard cores.

Best way to train obliques?

if you get ab doms through squats then your abs are weak af

I train core on leg days on a Upper-Lower split 4x week. I always do hanging leg raises, If your arms are too weak, try holding yourself on some dip bars, so you can rest your entire forearm on them. Then I do weighed declined situps, trying to hit obliques too, and side planks. Somedays I do ab wheel too just for the keks.
If you're a n00b, stomach vacuums will totally help
