No other body part requires such discipline to develop but once they are uncovered and for all to seethey are a sight to behold

Quick Anatomy Lesson

The muscles of the abdominals comprise of several areas that flex extend twist and stabilizethe trunk area They sit on the front sides of the lower torso originating along the ribcage andattaching along the pelvis Lets look at each muscle and its function

Rectus AbdominusThis is the coveted six-pack muscle - although it has more than six heads This muscleflexes the spine and brings the ribcage and pelvis closer together

Transverse AbdominusThis muscle is a deep muscle of the core which lies beneath the other muscles that isessential for trunk stability

Internal amp External ObliquesThese are diagonal muscles that work to rotate the torso and stabilize the abdomen

Now that you know a little about anatomy and function lets delve into what makesoutstanding abdominals The movements and routines presented are designed to get the

most out of each trip to the gymRemember to always use good form and not to use too much weight to compromise your safety Remember when performing any abdominal movement be sure to execute eachmotion (concentric and eccentric) with steadfast control to avoid ballistic-style reps

Crunches amp Sit-ups

The basic crunch is performed while lying on the floor with your feet flat on theground arms either crossed in front of you or hands behind your head and crunchingyour upper body toward your knees Your lower back should not come off of theground just your upper torso Crunch your abs and exhale as you come up Squeezefor a second and then return without taking tension off of the midsection

Exercise Ball CrunchesVideo Windows Media - MPEG - Video iPod

Another way to try weighted crunches is to lie on the floor with your head toward arope attachment on a low pulley and pull the weight up while you crunch Make sureto hold the ends of the rope on either side of your head when crunching

A great way to make the sit-up more difficult is to perform them on a decline benchand hold a weight plate on your chest with crossed arms This would be a bit of achallenge so try it with a weight you can handle first
