About this routine

A 6-exercise core routine built entirely from EMG research. Every exercise was selected based on the ACE-sponsored study at San Diego State University that measured actual muscle activation. No filler — just the movements proven to fire your abs the hardest. Suitable for intermediate lifters who want efficient, science-backed core training 2-3x per week.
