My friend and I were arguing about this, and just seeing if maybe I should change my viewpoint.
Basically, I am a smaller than average guy ... 6'1, 160 LBS (smaller, weight wise).
Anyway, I work out and am making steady progress, but still have a weak core (legs,back,chest).
I was working out with this friend, him being bigger and stronger, and he was saying that concentrating on the core lifts (squat, deads, bench, rows ..etc..) is important, but I should not neglect accessory work either (arms,shoulders,abs).
So, being limited with time in the gym, should I focus on all the muscle groups (which would take time from my core time) or should I stick to the core exercises until I gain a stronger core and more mass ?
Thanks for any input
