If you want to SEE results, you need to decrease your body fat considerably.
If you just want a stronger core (for injury prevention, athletic performance, etc) then you just need to do lots of different exercises in series.... it really doesn't matter they are all effective just do everythign you can think of... do some difficult exercises with low reps and easy exercises with high reps..
difficult would be like hanging leg raises.... crunches with your body hanging off a bed/bench, crunches with heavy weights, etc...
easy being like regular crunches, bicycle, etc 9/28/2006 11:33:19 AM |

I'm not focused on lowering the body fat % yet as much as I am building muscle, but my core is rock solid underneath the fat
here's some of the stuff I do in the gym for core: cable machine torso twists cable machine chops, high to low (works the core as well as everything else) crunches on a ball with the cable machine crunch machine oblique machine twists front planks side planks back plank w/feet on pilates ball stability on bosu ball (half a pilates ball) supine leg raises vertical leg raises situps with medicine ball in hands crunches with weighted bar decline bench torso twists w/medball crunches on ball w/plate lower back extensions w/plate on this thing http://us.commercial.lifefitness.com/content.cfm/backextension_3 lower back extensions laying across pilates ball pullups with knee/leg raises
... and other stuff, thats all I can think of at the moment. variation is good 9/28/2006 12:25:42 PM |

^^i imagine that cable machine chops follow the motion of chopping wood while holding the cable, going from high (shoulder area) down to a bent over position while working the shoulders, back, arms, abs and legs. probably some type of rotation involved like going from left shoulder to right foot and the opposite. 11/18/2006 12:22:27 AM |

front squats, zercher squats, high bar full squats, full squats, hack squats,deads, stiff legged deads, good mornings, and any of the olympic lifts
they all use the abdominal muscles as stabilizers. 11/18/2006 12:28:42 AM |
