I want to build up my core

[StephNen]

Can you suggest me a strategy to building up my core. Example I can bench 250 lb no problem but I can't do very many sit-ups or pull-ups. I think that my core is very weak even though I might seem like I'm strong. also do you guys ever train your core?

Heavy compound lifts will train your core ajd direct core work is also good to do

If you want to build your core, do a lot of planks and squats and deadlifts.
