I do weights in the gym twice a week - always start with core work. It gets changes around but always involves two exercises one for ‘front core’ the other for lateral. Recent routine was planking with feet on a pod as was feeling strong but then changed to dead bugs and got some DOMs. Had previously done dead bugs but I guess where I am going is that only doing one thing all the time even if you are building it up may not be as effective as changing it about. So yeah plank but don’t forget your sides so perhaps change to side planks (lateral) and then do dead bugs (front) for a while then change it around and do other exercises. Farmers walks, Ball roll outs, Russian twists etc so that over time you recruit all muscle fibres and none are allowed to settle into a routine.
