Squats, & dead lifts. Try doing dumbell bench presses with one dumbell at a time. They are killer. Planks, birddogs are great too but don't involve weights

I've actually took a weight plate and sat it on my back.

Basically any heavy compound movement. Front squats are particularly good if you do them correctly (drop low enough).

I will say that I add hanging leg raises to my program and they require a good amount of stabilization. They're also good if you're doing squats and deadlifts because they stretch out your back.
