Suggest good core exercises/workouts

[WyattS802]

I have been doing a core workout I made every day to build strength and look better, but it started to lose its effect and get easy. I would do it 3 times or so:
40 Russian twists
25 situps
12 v-ups
30 bear crunches
45 scissors
40 bicycle crunches
1:15 plank

I was wondering if anyone could suggest harder workouts that they've done or different exercises to substitute in.

Ab wheel rollouts, hanging leg raises, human flag progression planks, l sit progressions, planche progressions. All that chit those calisthenics fuks do on yt is super good for your core, beware of potential hernias tho lol

[BeginnerGainz]

Those look all like Ab exercises, where is the lumbar exercises? That is part of the “core” as well

[faithbrah]

add weight to some of them or do them slower

also, if you want to build strength and look better, you should do stuff like push ups, pull ups, dips etc instead of ab day every day

[TolerantLactose]

41 Russian twists
26 situps
13 v-ups
31 bear crunches
46 scissors
41 bicycle crunches
1:16 plank

Repeat 4 times.

Ab wheel effective? Used one a long time back and been on the fence to get one again.

Yep there are IMO

The key is not to allow your stomach to sag. Arch your back like a hump backed bridge. This is the opposite of what we often do in weight training so it can take some concentration.

Do you have a medium to large sized dog? You can do dog lifts. I did them with my German Shephard when I was a kid. It's sort of a squat/dead lift combination.

Need pic of that German Shepard. You talk about him so much I need proof he was real.

You could try adding weights if you haven't already, or if you have a pull up bar you could try doing hanging knee raises. Also supersetting some of the excersizes could be worth a try for muscle confusion

[sowilson]

instead of rotating your core (Russian Twists) put in some exercises that resist core twisting (like pallof press, landmine, single arm wall press, etc)

Hernias? What kind what do you mean?

I thought core work stops hernias

Gotta confuse those muscles...

Oh wait, no you don't.

Best way to confuse dem muscles is to think about your chest and biceps when doing squats. Confuses the hell out of them

I generally point and shout 'look over there!'. Then when they're all focused on that I quickly thrash out a set of curls. They don't know what's hit them (except for my finger muscles I used for pointing, I have a separate day for doing finger lifts in my 18 day bro split)

Aye that's proper muscle confusion. About to do a workout so I'll do that. Although the element of surprise could be gone if my muscles have seen what we are speaking about

sh*t you're right, I'll need to think of a new scheme. The muscles see all (even if they are confused)

Leg raises on wall bars can substitute almost all other core exercises. By doing only this exercise, one builds strength to perform numerous other exercises for the same muscle group, making them unnecessary.
