re: O-T Greek Gods: Weighted Ab Exercises

I don't get the holdup on the Fitness/Workout board. Why can't we get this shite done?

Ask Darren Sharper

Wouldn't that be GHB, bro?

Get on a flat bench... That you would use for dumbell bench. Get a 25 or so plate, with a 10 to 15 pound dumbell. Grab plate with hands and dumbell with feet. Bring plate all the way back and legs down to even with body at same time, then v up. You're welcome.

oooooooo. I like the sound of this.

Everytime I do it in gym, people ask me about it. I "made it up" about 6 years ago. I'm pretty sure someone has done it before, but it was the first time I've seen/done it that way.

I've seen people also use the cable towers for kinda same thing, but I prefer the free movement.

This is unfun but necessary if you want a six pack. Look at my notes.

I usually snack on:
Fruit - OK but in moderation.
Veggies and hummus - Veggies good but no to the hummus. It promotes inflammation.
Pistachios - Ok but if you are trying to cut fat to get a six pack minimize nuts all together. They can be a crutch.
Mixed nuts - see comments for pistachios
Dried fruit - No, No, No - Sugar is too concentrated. Eat fresh fruit.
Low fat string cheese - not to the dairy
Hard burled eggs - Yes, yes, yes
Wheat crackers - No, if you are trying to cut stay away from these types of carbs.
Beef jerky - ok but watch out for the salt and preservatives. I dry my own and I know exactly what goes into it.

Load up on proteins and veggies. Moderate fresh fruit. Minimize nuts. Half of avocado is a good option also.

You have as many choices for weighted that you for non weighted.

Dumbbell crunches on stability ball
Kneeling Cable crunches
Weighted straight leg raises
Weighted Russian twists
Dumbbell Otis ups
Weighted planks
Cable wood choppers
Oak tree step outs
Weighted ab wheels

These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Google them if you don't recognize them. Don't be afraid to go heave either if you really want mass. Like 8-15 rep max heavy. Of course non of this matters if you aren't already low body fat.

As for those saying avoid milk and dairy. BS. I go through a gallon of milk a week. As long as it's skim and you stay out of a state of caloric excess while avoiding the shitty foods its fine in moderation.

That link was awesome.
