Been doing planks every workout for a month now and my pathetic excuse for a core still looks horrible. What do? I'm on SS, 6'1 170lbs

Also, don't forget to bulk slow then cut. If you're still on SS you're still a noob and building some muscle without getting overly fat is more important than abs which you aren't going to have for a while anyway. A six-pack doesn't happen in a few months, it takes a few years of training to get a strong as fuark core and to cut to 10% or lower. Shit takes time and patience. Planks are a good start though, do them, or the exercise I linked to, and maybe something like hanging leg raises or windscreen wipers when you get advanced enough. Once you get to that stage you'll have abs, it's just a case of burning fat to uncover them.

there's your problem dude. Do some hanging leg side raises for your obliques. They will pop out in like 2 weeks.

this
PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THE SS IS ALL I NEED FOR ABS
I like to use a weighted crunch machine, since that allows me to progressively overload reliably and track my numbers. Work your way up to 2pl8 or 3pl8 on that thing, and you'll have pretty thicc abs
>>39359087
Curls
Maybe some tricep extensions
Ab work
I needed grip work just to keep my deadlift progressing
You can add stuff to SS, and honestly I would suggest it for nearly anyone.
Adding a couple sets of curls and ab work at the end of your workouts isn't going to hinder you really and you'll look better in the end
>>39358358
Your abs will look better if you simply do a cut.
Also, do some leg raises.
>>39360198
They will look better but it's very easy to have shit abs at low bf%
If you don't have the mass there, no matter how low you cut, you'll never have nice abs
I was a great example of this. My abs looked better when I was 150 than when I was 140. Cutting back down to 140 however, would give the best results
Do abs wheels,
check the form though, you don't want to slip a disc in your lowerback just because you thought it was okay to feel it there
>>39358483
Nigga you cant get good abs without doing lots of different ab exercises
>>39358358
how is his tendon line so deep? is that genetic?
