Yesterday I did p90x ab ripper in the am (with a 10# free weight added) + 3x15 on the highchair + 3x80 pull down ab curls...
Then at lunch i did 20# kettle ball side pulls + my usual strength training (yesterday was arms day)...

My abs are in sooo much pain, not "o i can't move pain" but "ooo... i did GOOD yesterday" pain!!

curious what everyones favorite burn is for your abs...

I really love the 'vacuums' technique for most ab exercises. Works so much better and harder. Hanging leg raises are good as well and butterflies are really effective as well. After my foot injury I am looking forward to be able to do thai cruxifixes again... (ouch!) )

what are these methods you speak of lol...

vaccuum method? butterfly?

figured out what butterfly meant: basically cross leg / indian style / diamond legged sit ups.
vaccuum method i'm still lost ong.
also found a new work out i love, rvs ab v ups or ab pull ups.
get down in on your hands, like your going to do a push up (real kind),
place a rag under each foot & pull your midsection up (into an inverted v), strive to use your abs here, not your legs.

Hey there!
Yep that's a really good exercise, bodyrockers do it a lot. Vacuums is a breathing technique combined with ab exercises, makes them more effective. Check out the sixpack challenge on sixpackfactory.com; he explains it in one of his videos!

will do.

Just found another one i like - it's a machine, but i take ab workouts wherever i can get them - rotary torso?... gives a similar pull as doing kettle ball side pulls. very nice, think i'm going to work that one in...
