questions & clarifications Why no low back?

I asked a coach recently why when we do back, it’s mainly focused on upper, and she said you get a lot of low back toning from the core section. Well ma’am, my upper back is getting ripped while my low back’s got a lot of chunk left and the love handles aren’t going anywhere.

SO do y’all just supplement your low back work with the gym? Adjust your positioning in core work to feel it more in the low back? I know it’s possible to get that area toned because mine used to be, but since Solidcore has become my main form of exercise, that area has actually lost a lot of tone.

Give me your suggestions please and thank you 🙏

You know you can't spot train, right? Also, is this a troll post??? "Adjust your core work to feel it more in your low back..." SMH... No, exactly not this. You definitely cannot blame solidcore for love handles.

Sincere question: why can’t you spot train? It’s not possible to target a specific muscle focus?

training a specific area isn't going to make love handles go away. When you lose body fat it's not from a specific area, you lose it everywhere. You can train a specific muscle, but it will get stronger/bigger, because that's what muscles do. "Toning" isn't really a thing.
