    Does Ab training affect Back?

    Just wondering, how much pressure will Ab training put in our Back? Cause I'm training Abs 3 times a week and if it does cause alot of pressure on my Back, wouldn't that deprive the latter from having enough rest for recovery?

    It would be dependant on your form and technique and what exercises you are performing.

    If your doing crunches with poor form that may cause some lower back stress. I myself don`t do crunches because I feel my upper abs get enough work indirectly from other exercises such as deadlifts, squats etc. I concentrate on different types of leg raises such as knee-ins on a bench, hanging leg raises, bent leg raises etc. which are easy on the lower back. I usually just work my abs once a week for 20-30 minutes.

    Maki, I'm doing 3 out of 5 of these exercises for Abs. How much will they affect back?

    Crunches, Leg Raises on a parallel bar, Decline Situps, Decline Leg Raises, Machine Weighted Crunches.
