A Different Abdominal Exercise...REALLY!

[Nelson Montana]

I drew an illustation of how this exercise is performed in the hardcopy of "The Bodybuilding Truth" but those who ordered the e-book, never got to see it.

Well, the United States Marine Corp contacted me and asked permission to reprint it and I was proud to comply. It contains the original drawing -- although it's a little washed out -- my nuancal shadings are lost : )
Anyway, the pictures may help explain the exercise a little better. You can check it out here: www.marinefeatures.subportal.com/fitnesslink/exercise/abs.html

And for those of you who have never done what has become to be known as "The Nelson Situp"...enjoy the pain. Training abs may never be the same again.

Sorry, I realized that link isn't working and I can't post a direct link with this old gas powered computer.

Do a google search for A Different Abdominal Exercise...REALLY! and the Marine Corp site will come up.

Boss! De pain, de pain!

I am not sure which burns worse, the Nelson Sit-up and your calf routine. I have been doing your calf routine for about 2 months and my calves are starting really shape up! Just incorperated the Nelson Sit-up into my workout. Thanks Nelson, you da man.

Actually I'm starting his calf routine next week as well. This ab exercise looks harsh too. Can't wait to try this today.

74 calf raises (w/BW) yesterday, bed-ridden today
Nelson, how does this ab exercise fit in with Vince Gironda's teaching regarding irritating the solar plexus nerves and lowering hormone out put?

That was an interesting theory of Vinces. I'm not sure how sigificant it is, but I think there's something to it. At any rate, I think Vince would love this movement since it's so "gentle." NO jolting , but it really hits the rectus abdominals.
