You dont need to do "core" stuff separately . If you are doing your shoulder pressing standing up, you are working your abs pretty hard. Switch at least some of your leg press sessions for real squats or deadlifts and it will complete the picture.
Doing "core" work separately just leaves you with sore abs that prevent you from doing more valuable weight training exercises or effective time on the bike.
Also, if you can comfortably do 80kg shoulder presses for multiples of 10 reps. I would expect at LEAST a 200kg back squat out of you.
What is a better "core" workout, swiss ball arm circles or 200kg barbell squats? What will train you to deliver maximum force/power output from head to toe? What will stimulate maximum hormonal response and physiological adaptations?
