Abdominal Exercises

[chucky]

Frans, best thing for your back pain is to lie on the floor prone and push yourself up with your hands by your chest 10 or so times. Do those back EXTENSION (the opposite of flexion) exercises a few times a day and your back will thank you many times over.

Here are some basic ab exercises that I mentioned earlier...first part of the video shows the progression to work up to a suspended L-sit and then a V-sit...which leads to a handstand.

Second part is from a bando yoga system called longyi that uses a rope to assist in various exercises. This one shows 2 different abdominal exercises..the first lets the back contact the ground at each rep...the heels are not supposed to leave the ground.

The second version starts with both the head and spine not touching the floor and they do not touch at anytime during the reps.

Both exercise the abs and the lats.

I am going to start a thread called "Exercises" for general exercises...folks can post up some of the ones they do as part of a workout.

Careful you don't turn into one of those water filled gigantic weight lifters who can't work worth a damm

Not me man. I'm working with a professional who is also an elite athlete who understands my goals. I went from 215lbs in feb to 180lbs currently. He's going to want me at about 190 when the transformation is complete

I really don't GAS what I look like, its about being in great shape for me.
