There's a lot of great exercises for the abs and, in my opinion, none of them have anything to do with sit ups or crunches.
The key to abdominal strength and development is about training the whole body to stabilize at a high level.
What I mean is stabilizing in functional movements, not training to actively flex our trunk (as with sit ups and crunches).
One the best ways to develop abdominal strength is with basic barbell lifts.
Exercise technique, exercise selection, and optimal nutrition are all critical components in our training success.
To get the results we want, we've got to do the the right things.
Of course, we have to know what it is we want.
Assuming we do, there is something that's so important to our success, yet it's not discussed nearly enough, in my opinion.
The kettlebell snatch has been called "the czar" of kettlebell exercises.
Full body explosive strength, a high level of conditioning, tremendous upper body strength, and outstanding mobility are some of the key benefits.
The kettlebell snatch test is one of the ultimate tests in strength and conditioning.
If you and I were sitting down talking right now, this is what I'd tell you about how to get results.
These are the 3 things you need to get exactly what you want.
Sorry, but it does require effort and a bit of thinking.
No BS, no fluff, just the honest truth.
