A study came out years ago showing that certain infomercial devices activated the core better than traditional situps. What did I do? Ignored it, of course, because it was infomercial stuff. The problem was, the study appeared in the Journal of the American Physical Therapy Association . That’s a pretty big deal. So I researched and found that all the infomercial gadgets that scored higher than the situp were basic versions of the ab wheel rollout or the plank. Then a study came out showing a group in the military that focused on planks and side planks outperformed a group that focused on situps—in a situp test!
It became clear to me that various forms of stabilization, not traditional ab exercises, are the key to developing strong abs (which also attract sexy chicks). Read on, and I’ll share what I’ve discovered about how your midsection really works and the way you need to train it.
