Thread: abs question

you ever tried doing planks? side planks are the best. google it for a picture. I've gotten up to 1 minute on my side planks and 2 minutes for reg. planks 3-4 sets every day.

Anyone who advises you to do ab exercises every day...is wrong.

core exercises and i do what i want. trent suzuki, a San Diego legend trainer has taught me well...look him up, and ask him about the Hawk

Correct me if I'm wrong someone but aren't planks more for building stability than anything else?

This site says:

"The abdominal plank is a great exercise for strengthening the transverse abdominus. The transverse abdominus is the deepest layer of abdominal muscle and wraps around the whole midsection. When you contract the abdominals, your waist becomes thinner. This is the action of the transverse. Therefore, a strong transverse abdominus means a smaller, tighter waist."

I didn't know about the plank though. I'll have to give it a shot.

You're a good man. I was that guy who did 1000 crunches a day and did NOT get results I was looking for. Obviously, that's not the way to go. Planks on the other hand, I've seen outstanding results. The key is how long you can do it for. Start out by timing yourself and maxing out with reg. planks, and side planks. Then you can use those numbers, and increase as you get better and stronger with the exercise. I started out going 45 seconds reg. planks and 25-30 seconds sides. Be patient, but slightly increase the length if possible each day or so.

Abs are like any other muscle in that you have to overload them to build thickness. I use weights for all of my ab exercises. Weighted roman chair sit ups, crunches, leg/knee raises, side bends, twists. I like drop sets - when you hit failure, drop the weight and contiue to rep out. I've gotten excellent results in only a matter of a few months.

Everyone here is talking about working the abs as an endurance muscle fibre. .. be it through planks or via working to failure. Any endurance athlete or trainer knows that nO endurance athlete is working their best performance when they not training those every day.
I have no idea duncan why you work so hard to misinform ppl, but even on the pro boards over at musculardevelopment.com, pro B.B. and fitness board that is, if you bother to reead over there and look into the numerous array of links they have in various threads and profiles, and Dave Palumbos site isn't a bad one, you will notice that most ppl that are winning and placing intitle events arre working their abs 3 - 4 x week minimum. If we're talking those with fitness goals and not just B.B. , then that figure goes up again to every single day. . and these are ppl acheiving at world class levels.

Here's what Frank Shamrock has to say about it.

[quote TESTOSTERONE NATION ]

T: How does the weight training program breakdown?

FS: We cycle on and off different schedules and routines for weight training. However, there's one basic program that we follow and that's the "three and three" method. We'll work the whole body in three days during a one-week period. We do a push-pull system. This breaks down to chest, triceps, neck, and forearms on Monday. Then we take a day off and do legs and shoulders on Wednesday. On Friday, we do back, biceps, and abdominals. This one seems to work best for me and I've tried everything. For my athletes, we experiment to find what works best for them.

Weight training for us becomes about fourth on the list of priorities when preparing for a fight. Strength is comparative when you're doing this stuff. Strength and speed in certain areas is what you really need.

T: Is muscular endurance more important than brute strength for fighters?

FS: It is, but you still need brute strength. If you're thinking mechanics, you still need a nice, fully developed muscle that'll expand and contract very quickly so you can blast and explode through whatever you're doing. If your muscle is full and healthy it'll also contract quickly.

T: Do you ever do heavy weight training with low reps or is it mainly higher reps?

FS: We do more in the middle, three sets with three exercises, eight to twelve reps per muscle.




T: I want to get into your exercise and nutrition regimen and how you train your fighters. I know you practice a great deal of techniques such as visualization, meditation, breathing, and flexibility, but how do you manage all of this stuff and does one technique take precedence at any given time?

FS: One thing does take precedence over other things. It's just a natural progression as you're going and whatever you're focusing on. For the new guys, we have to condition their bodies so they can withstand the trauma of MMA, so we have them doing high repetition calisthenics. We build their tendons and their bodies up to the point where they can use their bodyweight a lot of times.

In training a professional athlete, we do three to four days of weights a week. We work the entire body in one week. We do two days of plyometrics, five days of cardio, two days of sparring, two days of wrestling, and two days of technique.

Utter nonsense.

Jesus christ. Ive never read anyone more deserving of ignore.

I do some sort of core every day I workout. It varies a shitload and were talking mabe 4 days a week? Low volume.

DD- Aside from it being utter nonsense, I will go on to say this. I typically hold the sports science institutions in Australia to very high standards. Lots of great research comes out of there, as well as excellent articles and information regarding periodization, sports enhancement, sports nutrition, etc.....Lotus, if you are honestly working towards a high level degree at one of these institutions and this is your idea of a scientific rebuttle, then my feeling towards those programs as a whole has just gone down the shitter.

There is a great, great deal of research to demonstrate that more exercise for muscles (like the muscles that extend the lumbar spine) respond much better to lower volume training because of what could only be attributed to "overuse atrophy" - and if you disagree, fine, but (being mostly fast twitch muscle fiber in most of my primary muscle groups) the strongest my "core" ever was with a single set of weighted sit-ups twice a week. My core "stabilization" was in perfect order because of deadlifts and squats and sprinting for football.

And my endurance was fantastic.

Are you suure that when we hear something adamant that clashes with something we think we already know, we miight not want to go back and an reinvestigate?
@). Here. Iiii willll do your hmwk for you.

P- Funk. I have nothing to say to you. i am nOt mother theresa and i have other shit to do than sit around and argue with some little fuckwit who rallys ppl against good sense. I don't know who you think i am and i dont know where yourre trying to go with it.
If all i 'm getting is crap, then it starts becoming less worth sticking around.
. I still have a world to impact yet.
Sometimes knowing when to walk away is the key to the entire bleeding thing.

i'm still reading actually. Even though this is a bread and butter understanding of mine in relation to exercise and peak performance, ..as the title of my masters might elude an interest in,, I would be sincerely prepared to accept all evidence.
I know that most if not all members of IMO dont have that level of qualification nor world class acheivement in performance. I know what popular school of study has said in regard to this over prior yrs, but there have also been more recent studies, right down to eliminating the spot reduction training myth being a myth, measuring alternative variables and producing the exact same results that i have been teaching for over 4 yrs now.
The links that support my arguements with the most strength from those search links, like the ones from the commando and rugby union football observations amongst whatever else is there , dont work for myself neither.

You said yourself that you believe that sometimes pl with experience have more practical knoweledge than alot of scientists anyway.
.. imo , you do nOt have that experiece at that level.. unless you'd like to share some of that with us.

I know I'm not going to convince you and you are only 23 according to your profile so as far as i can tell, you have many yrs to have things unfold to end up conducive to whichever side of the fence you want to sit on.

To be 23 and without a masters or international acheivement of performance and claim to be soo endowed with knowledge of such complicated science and lateral thought is a mighty tall ask. I still have no time or head space to do this with you that being the case, so I am going to leave it with you and trust that you will pursue as you deem appropriate.

Oh, and if you do decide to take a degree and i happen to be your teacher, .. as a masters enables me to do at university level, then I am sure that will be something to look forward to.

i dont know what to say, but these caffine supplements are probably effecting my mood somewhat ( and yes I still think they rate top 10 in efficiacy for their purpose) and I really dont have one for this at this paticular time.

Oh, I thought you were talking about me.

Really, I can't read those post. They make my head hurt.

My final attempt to reach out and clarify my position so i can walk away with a clear conscience that i made every attempt to not leave the skism.. as mahayanna chan ( zen warrior) buddhism says we might aim to do..

At the time of September 11, I was in N.Z. with my daughter training to join the army. The goal was officer entry with view to articulate into the SAS. . as either a medic or explosives technician or PT or communications translator ( regarding codes and so forth) because that was virtually the only positions available to women in the elite forces at the time..

During that time, i was held in a secure facility for 10 mths and subjected to virtually every test under the sun. .. damming heavy nuero and clinical behavioural science for the most part. It was one of the most traumatic and invasive experiences of my life. After the first month, I wasn't aloud to train AT ALLL... It was bleeding hell i can assure you.

After I left the facility, my weight had gone up to an unparrelled near or just above 60 kg high that i had only ever experienced in my entire lifetime whilst pregnant.

.. feeling probably close to the most motivated and humbled i ever have in my life in this regard, I was keen to get back into the show and the ball rolling asap. I copped all manner of comment and attempt to demean and belittle my knowledge during that period because of my condition at the time. Something i've always said to myself, despite what anecdotal opposition and even supposedly 'current' science is saying, is at the end of the day, iii , .. as in me personally, just have to trust what i know.
So i did and worked my ass off, cut not one corner dietarily and adjusted variable provision and implentation as conditions and relative information changed, and with in 12 weeks , i was at a new all time peak condition. I reeally wanted it back and i was sad without it. i poured my entire soul into working for that condition.
Soo, within 3-4 mths after that, i was equalling performances of top world class athletes .. all inspired and goaded and urged by the old shaolin warrior monks and what i learnt of them and what they went through and trained for and how they did and how much .. of which i'm still learning more of,.. and before I knew it, i was, albeit extremely privately outside of martial arts classes and my family who were more than acutely aware of how I was spending time, kickin international butt and finding science to explain why..

When inexperienced extrapolative skeptism dogs me, I really do just have to go back to that old affirmation I used to tell myself. trust what you know Michelle. If you know then you just do..
that and failure is not an option seemed to work well enough for long enough..

If at the end of the day, all i have to go in is what I've used to get results then i do believe that there will always be science to explain why.
If I or anyone else don't currently understand why, then it's likely that that may reveal itself scientifically in the future.

i'm sorry I couldn't find terms to clarify to you on. .. and i know you're trying to tease and undermine me, but I sincerely do wish you all the best. May the best men and women win. . and if they're good enough, then hopefully we all can.

you are sooo fucking intelligent.

Just dont rush Duncan.. learn to eat ego out loud and the rewards through the next level of having incorperated those things and who will open up to and support you because of it will have been worth looking like a dick for.. if that's how you perceive what's happened.. as opposed to a platform to something better than prior it... that's not something i might say to alot of ppl let alone someone so young, so i hope you understand that i doo say those things to you out of respect for the potential you down the track that i really hope you'll grow into.

If youre blushing and or yelling right now then ... I 'm sorry. I've left the building and aren't taking any calls at the moment.

your condescending tangents are ridiculous. quite frankly, i don't believe a word about your "credentials" because you are stupid.

any reputable "scientist" would not go to google and post up a page of references...without giving a summary analysis of ANY of them...

You are a joke.
