    Just decided to add core work into my PPL routine and had a few questions

    So I decided to add core into the end of my push and leg workout PPLRPPL so I am basically doing them every other day.

    Currently I am doing 5x5 deadlifts on my pull, 5x10 squats for my legs and 5x10 military press on push (less core work but still). So really my abs are getting some form of stimulation every workout but I have never in my life seen my abs and when I am done my bulk and start my cut I want my core to pop and it has been my motivation (on top of other ofc) to continue lifting. My questions are this;

    - Am I still following the hypertrophy range of 8-10 reps for core work? I was thinking of things like weighted situps, weighted leg raises, and russian twists with a medicine ball. Would 3x8-10 be effective if I have little rest (like 15 sec max) between sets?

    - Are there any exercises that really do the job better than others? I read alot of threads on here preaching the hanging leg raises, or doing like a hanging leg raise with a twist but honestly, being 210lbs and doing it at the end of a workout I dont know if I'd be really able to hold my own weight up effectively to start doing like a hanging russian twist.

    - What is the average recovery time for your core? Is 24 hour rest sufficient?

    Thanks alot.

    1. There is no "hypertrophy" range.
    2. Leg raises are fine, but OHP and pullups are sufficient for abs.
    3. Individual.
