In this article the author writes that his program will "Train the muscles to maintain an isometric contraction in the ab musculature." What does this mean exactly and what exercises would do this?
The author goes into this a little bit saying "Training your abs for isometric endurance keeps your abs "popping" even when you seem to be relaxed" but I was hoping someone could explain it a little better

Are better than ones like these:
"I not only don't use gloves, I file the skin off my palms before each workout. I also wrap double sided tape about the bar, sprinkle broken glass on it, dip it in acid, then wrap it in razor wire. I also plug the bar into an outlet, and stand in a bucket of water." - Defiant1

Yup, but for those whom recovered from back injuries, you guys should only focus on weighted planks, etc, i've found rolling with the wheel on the floor (as your posted video) puts stress on the back.Originally Posted by Leyton Stone
