Need Help with a Beginner

[Temple]

Hey all. I am training a friend who is athletic (runner) but has never lifted before. We are about three weeks in and the focus has been on bench, squat and deads, form and diet. She has fairly decent strength everywhere except her core. Should I keep doing what we are or add more goodmornings etc?

Her core will come with time. Make sure the abs/oblique/back work is heavy but allows for recovery. GMs can be cycled as the 2nd move on ME day in a 3 week rotation with a squat variation or a bench variation. Things like hypers, reverse hypers, bent rows, swing throughs, heavy pull downs, etc...mixed in as accessory work till make a big difference in a short period of time.

...or I could just come up there and show you what I mean.

You can come show me what you mean ANY TIME! But we are going to do at least one workout at the college so the "buff boys" can see what training looks like LOL. I will add some of the other stuff in there as well.
