If you actually look at the anatomy, you’ll notice that our “core” is more of a cross-hatched web , and it’s main functions (at least in the context of what most people consider encompasses the core – RA, external/internal obliques, etc) are resisting trunk extension, posterior pelvic tilt, and transmission of hoop stress (rotary or anti-rotation).
