Suggestions for Core Training

Yes I know this topic is talked about a lot but what is your core training consisting of?  I do some crunches, planks, and side twist on the cable machine 2 X per week.  Does this sound kinda like a typical program or something you see a lot in the gym?  I know most athletes do a lot more then this but you get the point the program is simple and focuses on the correct muscles.  Wrong,  this program isn't completely (just about thou) wrong but lets make it real simple and see if this helps.  I've borrowed and stole ideas from some of the best back experts in the business along with adding some of my own knowledge.  Do you train the core standing up or sitting down or combination?  So many studies and trainers say this exercise is the best or never do that, here is what I think.  Don't train your core to get extension out of your lower back.  Don't train your core to flex.  Agree or disagree?  Try these you will feel and see the difference.  Not a complete program but a good start to training the core with a focus on protecting the back.  Sorry for the grammer errors I only had about ten minutes to get my thoughts down before the next client.  Thanks for reading!
