| Whatever you want to call it... my point remains. Training needs to be functional in relation to your goals. Your goals are predominantly physique oriented at the moment. Pilates or yoga will not give you anywhere near the mileage or bang for your buck that resistance training will in terms of the function. |

Rep Power: 91602 | | | wow I'm apologizing in advance for my annoying question day I'm having....
ab work....things like crunches tend to bother my neck after so many reps and I'm slightly convinced I have a heavy head but are traditional crunches etc worth trying to get over it or are there better ways to go about this whole ab process oooorrrr am I just paying too much attention to every little thing my body does feel free to give a dumb answer for a dumb question

People limit their ability to understand the use of their cores. Flexing the spine is only one, limited application.
Things like stabilization and rotation are so much more important. But even though people don't buy into the whole spot reduction thing anymore, they still refuse to let go of the idea that there are so many more applications to core training than simply abdominal crunches.
Since we're in the 'good reads' section and I spend my time jibber jabbering in all other areas of the form, read these: TESTOSTERONE NATION - Anterior Core Training http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=990092 TESTOSTERONE NATION - The Real "Core" Exercise
I don't post these so you start doing everything they tell you. I just want people to start thinking purely in terms of crunches. |
