So what are some of your favourite ab exercises? I have a hard time sticking to anything for that long because I get bored of the vast variety of crunches and weighted side bends.

Do some heavy med ball throws Jamie- try to throw the ball through the ground a few time from over your head and see how your abs feel the next day.
Ditto on pulldown abs, as well as Russian twists.

Cool, I'll do that, Jeff. So you throw the ball behind your head and into the ground? And how do I go about doing Russian twists?

ab pulldowns, spread eagle sit-ups, stability ball crunches, side-bends, saxon side-bends, russian twists, ab wheel, pike-ups (w. "powerwheel" attached to feet):

Pulldown Abs and Side Bends (like Dave Tate suggests). I've noticed a huge difference since I've gone really heavy; the bodyweight ab work didn't do much for me.

Jamie, take the ball overhead in both hands- I would say don't use the handles for this- and try to throw it through the floor in front of you, so you're bending forward.

What's that Ab machine the Russian uses in Rocky IV? We've got one of those at our gym and that's the only exercise that I can do that I can really feel the burn with

Overhead carries. Saxon Side-bends are good as well.

I've not done either of those for ages - I'll rectify that this week I think. :)

My favorite Ab exercise,

Lie on your back with female positioned above yourself(naked) insert yourself into the oppropriate opening, place your hands on her Butt and thrust from below! start off slowly and work upto a sprint finish!

I like to do this exercise atleast once eveyday!

I never do ab exercises, I hate them, I find them to be boring and stupid! I know that i should add some to my workouts but I just hate them.

I think they're only available in Becca Swanson; the Shannon Hartnett model is sold out.

One of my training partners swears by always using weight with ab and core work, and he has one of the strongest cores I have ever seen. He also prescribes lots of bridge work.

I like weighted crunches, ankle chops with a med ball, standing barbell twist to the knee (see my training log for a description), overhead squats with clean grip and snatch grip, weighted knee raises on a bench, heavy dumbbell side bends, reverse hypers, goodmornings and weighted back extensions. I don't do them all at once, but I will pick one of those and then do bridge work once a day, 6 days a week.

My absolute favorite (sorry!) is what I call Thrower Situps: situps on a decline bench, holding a weight overhead, arms bent, as if you were about to overhand throw a soccer ball out of the goal. Emphasis is on siting up as fast as possible, trying to "throw" the weight with ab motion.

How dare you ruin my thread with American spelling!!! Where's the honor in that?


















And if you didn't get that, I was sarcastically writing "honor" the American way.
