TRAINING GUIDE — CORE
Core training
Planks, crunches, and the rest of the core work. Rectus, obliques, and transverse do different jobs, and the exercises split between timed and rep-based.
Muscles in this group
Tailrep splits groups into individual muscles, so the same "Core" session still records what you targeted.

Building a session
Pick exercises so that neither the target muscle nor the equipment gets lopsided. Save the result as a routine and next time you just pick it, starting from last time's weights.
- 1Open with what you can load heaviest (barbell, machine)
- 2Add targeted work (dumbbell, cable) in the back half
- 3Combine exercises that hit different muscles within the group
- 4Save the session as a routine and pull it up next time
