Train Abs with Your Feet on the Floor
by Jack Reape
This
is as simple as it sounds. The hardest training for your abs involves
exercises with your feet on the floor. Doing two-hand push passes or
overhead two-handed throws with a medicine ball for distance will make
your next morning not so much fun.
Good
mornings are ab killers too; go ahead and try it. Standing crunches
with a cable or a band will reveal some real weaknesses. Pushing a car
or truck is another ab killer. Doing the wood chopping motion with a
band or cable in place of an ax handle will open your eyes, and even
weighted crunches done on a stability ball, with the feet stabilizing
your body, makes the abs work far more than the normal crunch.
The
idea that abs need higher reps is nonsense. They need heavy work like
everything else, both in moving the sternum toward the pelvis and in
the isometric stabilization of the spine. If you want ripped abs do
some push-aways: push yourself away from the dinner table.
If
you want strong abs, lift, push, or stabilize some heavy weights. Doing
bodyweight crunches to strengthen your abs is like doing jumping jacks
to increase your military press! | |
