Super article by Dr John Rusin on core training. No mention of a crunch. Has videos of all 30 exercises.
Also, from the article: "Speaking of vertical exercises, you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t mentioned heavy compound lifts yet. This is by design. I am a huge advocate for deadlifts, squats, clean, presses and all of those awesome lifts in terms of training the core. For the sake of this article, I’m just trying to focus on exercises that are more specifically targeting direct core activation."
