    What Abdominal exercises do you do?

    Two questions:

    1. How often do you work abs?
    2. What ab exercises do you do?

    1. Once a week
    2. Sit-ups, db bends, and this move where you go on the ground on your elbows and toes and move body side to side.

    I don't work abs. I think that get enough (not an optimal amount) work from core lifts. I hate doing ab isolation exercises.

    I was doing an alternating 2 and 3 day split. 2/4 workouts included compound lifts meant to target the recuts abdominus, and 1/4 workouts includes a movement meant to hit the obliques.

    I did situps, hanging leg raises, and side bends. All weighted as needed.

    I'm currently doing a triset of ball pikes, crunches and alternating obliques.

    I do core about once a week with a combination of flexion (rectus), extension (erectors), twisting (obliques) and deep muscle movements (transverse/mutifidus). Sometimes I throw in some plyometric/stabilization stuff on a wobble board just standing. I almost always use a Swiss ball for it.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    every 2nd day.....routine is.....corkscrew hip raises, normal hip raises, reverse crunches, oblique crossovers, oblique crunch's, something called a catch (sort of a normal crunch where you come up and act like you're catching a ball from either side-oblique workout), toe touch crunch (legs perpendicular to ground), leg up crunchs, either normal crunch or frog legs crunch, and an extension back exercise........i do one set of each, 12 reps right now, add a rep every other workout, rest 5-30 seconds in between sets.

    my stomach is like a fucking brick wall right now.
