Sorry for the long title,

I've started stalling on my squat recently, as in for over a month, and its mainly my core and upper back that just can't handle the weight!! Its driving me insane cause I know my hips can drive more weight but my core just won't allow it! Does anyone have any suggestions for exercises that can help get my core up to speed?
