Yar matey... anyway...
I was doing crunches (many many) to try and build my abs, which is uccesfully managed to target my upper abs very very well, lower ones, not so well...
I switched to doing THE PLANK and SIDE PLANKS - and got great results, also found it easier than crunches as its more endurance than anything...
i was wondering what other peoples expriences were, and if anyone had found better ab excercises?

#2 abs = fast twitch, so 10000000 reps won't do ****
#3 the plank is isometric, nothing to do with enduranceIf a guy is muscular but cant lift worth **** he is nuthing but a cosmetic pussy ,non functional muscle size =pointless silicon implants as far as i `m concerned

You want big muscles, girly man? Find big rock. Pick up big rock. Raise big rock overhead. Repeat as neccesary.

i dont care if thers no such thing as upp and lower abs - alls i know is that the upper part of my abs felt more worked than the lower - so there
as for the plank it seems tow ork them all equally well, although, not to the extent as the crucnhes did, well not the same feeling - but same effects...that make sense?
still would prefer to find an excercise that works the lower part of my abs better.
Or atleast gets that last little bit of fat outta there.

I like the plank..and find it hits my obliques more then anything.
I'm currently doing 3 x 6-8 Weighted Incline Crunches, and 3 x 6-8 of Hanging Leg Raises twice a week...experimenting is the key kids' (HAHAH I'm probably younger then 95.99 repeating of the ppl who visit this forum).
