IMO many people when they think of the core mainly think of the abs. But you really have to look at the whole. For the amount of work you do for your abs, you have to balance work for your lower back.

When I train people I make sure when we do direct core work we also work on the lower back to balance. Everybody does direct ab work, but how many people do direct lower back work as well.

Good point, so perhaps put hypers in the core circuit as well do you think ??

Will be starting the Reeves Classic as of Monday morning

very excited, I will be going light though (at about the 8-10 rep range) so as the judge what weights i will need to using as rest will be about 60-90 mins between sets to keep the workout down to an hour or so and then workoing up from there for reps and weight used each week.
