Ab Training

[MCSteelers]

What does everyone do for their ab training? I need 3-5 exercises I can rotate, what kind of sets and reps are you using?

this should be moved to bodybuilding/fitness

i do 3 sets usually of 12 reps

weighted decline crunches
reverse crunches
cruches on the ball
kickups
cable crunches

[MCSteelers]

No it shouldn't.

I'm sure if he wanted responses from the bodybuilding and fitness crowd, he'd post it in that forum.

My favorites are Ab Pulldowns, Spread Eagle Sit-Ups (w. weight), Saxon Side Bends, Side Bends

Occasionally, I'll do Ab Wheel or Pike-Ups w. "Power Wheel" ('power wheel' image: http://inch-aweigh.com/images/power_graphics/abs/power_wheel_100.jpg)

I try to do one ab exercise on squat/dl day. Usually 6-10 reps for 3-5 sets. Occasionally up to 15 reps.

What are your goals? (That'll determine where this belongs)

I train abs 2x a week, varying sets and reps, varying movements.

I break my ab training into rotational and flexion movements.

For flexion: standing cable crunches, loaded swiss ball crunches, decline sit ups, reverse leg raises and spread eagles. I add other ones in butthese are the main ones.

For rotation: cable chops, swiss ball russian twists, swiss ball kneeling med ball twists and core board twists.
