What is your ab routine? Right now I am just doing dragon flairs and V sits with shoulders and weighted side bends with arms. I think my routine might need some revision.

ATTN TIZE how many times did your mom drop you on your head?

tize 2x less than you have never been laid

tize 2x less than you have never been laid that was so funny I forgot to laugh

Mike McShit Is this McDermott with a new name?

ACURA TL-S Is this McDermott with a new name? yeah its some dumb main forum shit btw quit quoting Tize, hes on my IL for a reason.

Mike McShit Fazle changed my name. He also did this to 404notfound. Check the archives for details. Were you involved in a thread that may or may not have pertained to a masturbating rat?

ACURA TL-S What is your ab routine? Right now I am just doing dragon flairs and V sits with shoulders and weighted side bends with arms. I think my routine might need some revision. Before this week I rarely did abs. Though most of my abs workouts consisted of variations of straight legged hanging raises. This week I'm doing them with the the back support on the dipping bar, low reps but with isometric holds at various positions. I was pretty much doing alot of pullups, almost always keeping my legs parallel to the floor. What are dragon flairs?

I am not a big fan of hanging leg raises as they seem to work my hip flexors more than my abs, but I do like supported leg raises (using the dip bar) especially with a DB or medicine ball between my feet. Dragon flairs are kind of tough to explain, but I will try. Lay on a bench and grab hold of it behind your head. Then lift your legs and but and thrust your legs away from your head bringing your legs back to a lying position as slow as possible. So in other words bend at the abs and use the weight and momentum of your legs to do a negative. They hurt like hell and are probably my favorite and the most difficult ab movement. There was a T-mag article a while ago that I got them from, but I can't for the life of me find it.

There was a T-mag article a while ago that I got them from, but I can't for the life of me find it. As I said, before working them out regularly again this week, I had noticed lately my abs being almost constantly sore despite lack of direct work. Only thing I could attribute it too is the pullups and possibly single arm pushups. Once in awhile I did like doing seated straight legged leg raises supersetted with crunches off a bench.

yeah, dragon flags



so you can target lower abs

damn why do i only have lower abs... my top two abs are the smallest... WACK... anyone have any GOOD advice

timberwolf Isn't that a dragon flag?? Damn, no wonder I couldn't find the article.

ACURA TL-S Damn, no wonder I couldn't find the article. Heh. Do you do it from a decline bench or flat? Last time I did it put alot of pain on my elbows.

I need to start whooping more ass in abs... that's a huge problem area for me

Do let us know.... I have wrist problems from snowboarding and would be interested in something to rehab it...

KetchupKing I felt it was a waste of time. You get a hell of a pump but never get any real resistance. I'm not trying to really build, hoping it'll work with all over grip strength, and a bit of wrist rehabilitation (I had weight start to slip on a squat and decided to catch it, kinda did something to one of my wrists, a couple of months ago)

tryfuhl I'm not trying to really build, hoping it'll work with all over grip strength, and a bit of wrist rehabilitation (I had weight start to slip on a squat and decided to catch it, kinda did something to one of my wrists, a couple of months ago) depending on how fucked your wrist is id seek some advice before buying this

Glutes (buttock) The Best Exercise for Women

Glutes (buttock) The Best Exercise for Women

Glutes (buttock) The Best Exercise for Women

The best exercise for men and women the glutes is the hip thrusts or hip bridging. Most of us have "gluteal amnesia," where the glutes do not turn on. This one is tricky to do without activating the hamstrings. Lie flat on your back with your palms down and arms out to the side on the floor. Keep your natural lordotic curve in the spine. Brace or stiffen the core. Squeeze your gluteal fold as if there is a coin between your butt cheeks. Externally rotate your knees. Raise your toes off of the ground to get rid of the dominant hamstrings if they are activated - else you can keep them flat. You can also palpate the quadriceps (have a friend do it for you) and have the hamstrings relaxed. Your friend can touch them to see if they're switched off - they'll wiggle if they are off and become stiff if they're turned on. Next, you rise from the hips and hold for a 10 count and repeat. When you get more advanced you can go off of one leg - but that takes weeks of conditioning.

Stretching the hip flexors:

  • You can do a psoas stretch and palpate the psoas to feel it activate. You stand in a staggered stance and opposite of lead leg - that arm is up and back. The arm closest to lead leg reaches over and palpates the psoas. Hard to describe with words - pictures do it justice.
  • Another stretch for the hip flexors is going down on one knee and having the opposite arm to lead leg lift upwards and stretch out the psoas. This targets the psoas from the iliacus during hip flexor stretching. Hip extensor patterns are simultaneously trained on the opposite side of the body. You can also perform this exercise in walking steps - or walking lunges. But keep that opposite hand held up high
