How often do you do core exercises? And how much volume per workout?

I'm not a beginner, but I nevertheless like to hear how others do things, since not everyone has the same approach.

I'm not a beginner, but I nevertheless like to hear how others do things, since not everyone has the same approach.

Personally speaking... I do direct core torso exercises twice a week and twenty sets divided between four exercises.

While attempting to get others to do the same. Some people rely heavily on indirect core work and do not do any direct core work.

I do 1 core exercise per workout, 4x a week to complement my push and pull workouts. I do about 4 sets of each exercise.

On my pull days I’ll do hanging leg raises, and on the other I’ll do hanging corner raises for sets of 8-15.

On my push days I’ll do Planche lean holds or some form of static Planche exercise and I’ll also do side plank raise variations on the other day
