Am halfway into my third year of sci (t4 inc) and still not having much luck finding my ab or back muscles.
One of the most discouraging parts of sci is not being able to pick anything up and putting it on my lap (including grand kids) Has anyone found a method or exercise that can find and fire ab and back muscles?

Short of using a TENS unit for electrical stimulation, if you've lost the nerve connection then you won't get anything. The only back muscle I'm aware of that still works down low is latisimus dorsi, a thin ribbon either side down the back that connects to the pelvis, primarily intended to help bring your arm down but in us types can add minimal support to the pelvis/waist...but probably only noticeable when up on callipers using parallel bars.
