Some people can do crunches 'til the cows come home but how do they cope when you make the exercise harder. This was posted on T-nation a while ago and I thought it'd be something cool for everybody to try out.
1/Read the article: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online...ng_performance/how_strong_are_your_abs_really
2/Test yourself next time you go to the gym or at home even.
3/ Post your results here (no cheating :bball.
Mine:
1. Sit-up Progression: Level 4 (I can get 7-8 reps out before my form starts getting shaky. I'm can make it all the way up to 20 if I let my arms go a little bit forward from my ears.
2. Reverse Crunch Progression: Level 4 (I can get nearly 10 with these)
I think I did so well because of the heavy focus my powerlifting training places upon ab work. Standing cable crunches are brutal but effective.
