will doing core work help strengthen your abs & lower back when doing military press? im struggling to increase the weight because it feels like my lower back is gonna snap in half, i do squeeze my glutes etc during
How much are you pressing? If it's not super heavy it might just be a technique thing. Try bringing your elbows more forward so you can balance the weight without having to hyperextend your lower back by leaning back excessively.

if so any core exercise recommondations?
It means you're leaning back too much if your lower back comes into play.
There are no principles, there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances. The superior espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.
wow i have been doing these wrong the entire time, i keep my knees locked, heels together, same grip as a bench press, and arms at same angle that you would do a seated dumbbell press, no wonder i've been struggling, thanks for the reply

120 at 160 body weight but i realize my form has been bad the entire time, next session going to lower the weight and use proper form, thanks for the reply
Keep the reps low on your warm up sets. Maybe 5 reps for the lightest sets. Then triples for the middle sets. And just singles for the last couple sets before your max.
Weight wise, for bench press I jump about 20-25lbs per set, 35 for squats and 40-50 for deadlift.
Eg. testing a bench max might go something like:
135 x 5
155 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 3
225 x 3
250 x 1
275 x 1
295 x 1
