I am not understanding their "abdominal press" clearly. The hand is pushing against the knee and the knee is pushing against the hand?

The planks are oddly described too..

looks good.

sorry p-funk but those exercises are easy , I do them regularly , I wanted something challenging to do or more intense ...any Ideas??

Holding as big weight plate as you can handle out in front of you, knees bent, feet wide, back straight, arms still, twist plate side to side in front of you, see how many you can do in 30secs.

be careful with your back on this one. dont start too heavy. dont twist too much.

lying straight leg raises, legs 6in from the floor each time you go down, keep belly button pulled in, and LOWER BACK ON THE GROUND THE WHOLE TIME. do them slow. hands on chest.

Are we talking strength or getting a six pack to show?

so make them harder. there are tons of variations. Don't be an idiot.

Bench press is easy...until you put some weight on the bar.

I know there are tons of variations ..that's why I was asking for a directory or database or a referance for them ...if any body knew a good one...:d

so do big compound movements work core strength and core stability or just core stability?

(I am thinking they only work stability)

both. don't worry about the semantics.

I find bracing while balancing on one leg works the core very well...
