T-good stuff. Let us know what you think.
I'm loving it. Its amazing all the little things in any given exercise that changes it. Especially when you have imbalances and faulty recruitment paterns from your sport or faulty training, like sit-ups.
My right obliques are way stronger than my left for example.
Also the body likes to make things easy. So even conciously trying to keep good form its amazing how your body likes to cheat.
The day we did squats was after doing shoot the duck, 3 sets each leg, and throwing a medicine ball with legs, standing with it between feet. throwning in a pike.
It was alot to do with flexibility (the squat) but also teaching the body the movement.
Its so much easier to learn something new than to change.
Note people changing styles, how hard it is for most. Or someone fresh.
Teach your body wrong and you have way more work to do.
The point of this thread is that sit-ups aren't just not the best way to train abdominal wall (or even 6-pack) but it also will cause problems from breathing (which can activate sympathetic nervous system and help over load you with stress hormones), to neck problems, back problems, faulty recruitment paterns, weak core etc etc
