Does anyone use weights while doing crunches?

Mission success demands that all systems perform at the highest level. In life, Max Q demands the same commitment to success. It requires choosing greatness, personally as well as professionally. It depends on balance, passion and courage and the wisdom gained from adversity. It is an outcome as well as an attitude." |

Yeah weights really help in adding mass to your abs! I like to hold my crunces at the top while breathing out all of the air in my lungs. Breathing out allows me to contract harder! Also, holding at the top has been known to deepen the ravine down the middle!

Okay, so adding weights won't make a midsection look...bulky or widen?

Me too...always use weights for abs...obliques included! I think of them as any other muscle....need to be rtained hard and in order to do that they need resistance. Just what works for me...

weights with sidebends can give you a thick look. I dont' like them. Weights with crunches yes.
