Thoughts on this Ab Bench?
- Thread starter fireman
- Start date
i'd say the same thing to you had this been posted on AM or t-nation. why do you want an "ab bench"? generally the answer is "so i can do 100 crunches monday through friday" which shows a lack of basic training understanding. so yeah, send me the money and we can design a real diet/training program to fit your goals. until then, i hear tony little gazelles are going cheap.
Thank you for explaining urbanski....it sounds like floor exercises would be better if that's what your getting at.
I'd certainly be willing listen to someone if they were to design me a diet/training program. I'd even trade someone a nice ab bench to do it! haha
Check out the link in my signature on getting started. It'll get you going in the right direction. Feel free to ask questions.
...you can send Built the bench.
yes, check Built's signature to get started. Outline your goals (we still dont know what they are). and we can go from there.
3 years? Great! With questions like that why don't you make it another 3 and do us all a freakin' favor!
Just kidding.
Sorry if it sounded too much like a smart ass comment but its just how I keep it entertaining.
You asked and I told you. You've got other opinions coming, don't take my word for it. Look at it like this. I could have said "Woa I have that same one and its awesome! I can adjust the height and angle to work my abs from all directions. Look at my abs and you can tell why you need it. I would suggest you buy it immediately so that you'll have one all to yourself and you'll be able to wow your self with amazing ab definition. " But I didnt. And it looks like you're well on your way to saving some money, so....

P-Funk, do you do any direct ab work?
Plank variations
Bridge variations
chop and lift patterns
all my regular exercises
no flexion based movements when it comes to the spine

I always thought you were suppose to hinge at the hips and not come all the way up? I also thought being at an incline was better as well?

Think they're bad for you? Just don't like them? Not necessary?
I am not a fan of flexion based exercises as the spine like that. Even though the spine is not moving in the leg raises, the pelvic position, hip flexor tone, t-spine, and breathing needs to be accounted for, so the exercises doesn't make sense to me from a proram design standpoint.

What if you do them at the same time as a pullup/chin?
Like Isometrics?
I just don't see the point in doing this. How does that address the things I was talking about above?
patrick
I can't even stand watching people do this crap they got out of a mag or some crap. Stop!
I didn't actually get it from anywhere, infact I thought it was my own ingenous plan. But tbh I find it really hits my abs. Hard. What's wrong about it?
When taking breathing into account, why is that an issue?
And don't you make the same movement, but with one leg at a time when sprinting?

Everyone has a 6-pack. Your question belongs in the Diet/Nutrition section
Let me rephrase for the Canadians (no offense Built): Do you have VISIBLE abdominal muscles.Everyone has a 6-pack. Your question belongs in the Diet/Nutrition section
Oh my HEAVENS, you're sprinting!! Don't you keep up with the current studies or even read the news !!? EVERYTHING has been proven to be bad for you.

bump for an answer on this
I know a guy who died falling down the stairs. Maybe it's safer to jump down instead.
If the diaphram doesn't work properly nothing else will. Breath is everything and is key to turning on the inner unit for adequate movement.
Yes, you do the same thing in sprinting (hip flexion)...but in an asymetrical stance. So, no, you do not do the same thing in sprinting at all.
Look, this is not my opinion. This is what the research says. If you are still doing crunches then you probably need read that research from the past 5 or 6 years.

I have a 10-pack.
And it is functional! It works and I can use it in dyanmic tasks.
