Your core is not a mirror muscle — it is the transmission between your lower and upper body, and Maddy trains it like one. The programming covers the jobs a trunk actually has: bracing under load, resisting rotation and extension, transferring force, and holding positions — through planks and hollow work, anti-rotation presses, loaded carries, and the compound lifts that quietly demand all of it. Direct core work is dosed two to four times a week in short blocks attached to your main sessions, progressed by leverage and load like any other strength quality. And the honest part most ab programmes skip: visible abs are mostly a body-fat question, so if that is the goal, the plan pairs the trained core with calibrated nutrition targets instead of pretending crunches burn the fat off the top. Check-ins track both sides — the strength log and the trend.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Trained for its real jobs: bracing, anti-rotation, force transfer, and holding positions under fatigue.
- Planks and hollow work, anti-rotation presses, loaded carries, and compound lifts doing the quiet volume.
- Short direct-work blocks two to four times weekly, attached to your main sessions.
- Progressed by leverage and load like any strength quality — not by adding endless reps.
- Honest about abs: visibility is mostly body fat, so the plan pairs core work with nutrition targets.
Who this is for:
- Lifters whose squat and press give out at the trunk before the legs and shoulders do.
- Anyone who has done a thousand crunches and wants to know why nothing changed.

Common questions
Will this programme give me visible abs?
Core training builds the muscle; whether it shows is mostly a body-fat question, which is nutrition's department. If visible abs are the goal, the plan runs both jobs together — trained core, calibrated deficit — and tracks the trend honestly.
Are crunches bad for you?
No — they are one tool with a narrow job. The programme simply refuses to let them be the whole plan: bracing, anti-rotation, carries, and compound lifts cover the jobs a trunk actually performs, with crunch-style flexion work dosed where it fits.
How often should I train core directly?
Two to four short blocks a week, attached to your main sessions, is plenty when the rest of your training is compound-lift honest. The core also works hard in every squat, press, and carry — the plan counts that volume instead of ignoring it.
