I'm telling you, Legendary Abs by Health For Life is the bomb...been using it since college. One of these days I'll scan the booklet to PDF; it's hard to explain but 2-3 minutes a day and you're DONE.

i want it

I'm in no way dissing Needsize's routine, but soreness is no indicator of anything. Don't use it to gauge the efficacy of something. You've been doing 5x5 for what, 10 days? And his ab routine once, maybe twice?

It brings me great joy in realizing you follow what daily protocal with such enthusiasm///that way, if I forget what to do on a given day, I can always ask you......

The needsize thing isn't bad.

I start each day with 100+ crunches. Then once every 4 days I do his ab thing in the afternoon as part of back/bi/ab day followed with some db side bends.

I don't know if my abs are particularly strong already or not, but I have no problem doing this with a 45 lbs plate on my chest and it does not make me 'sore' at all. I will start adding a second plate and building that up soon.

Once I shave this damn hair off I'll let you know if it worked.

I started this a few days ago. I 'm a little cconfised. I had no trouble doing 5 sets of five. Then i added a 25 plate to my chest. My abs don't hurt though. I felt likei was working my lower back too. Is there a way to isolate the abs in this decline position?

Needsze has a video that could help - I wish I could find it.

id probably guess and say that ur using ur hip flexors only and not ur abs to stablize ur back which defeats the whole purpose of the thing.

lthat happened to me and i lowered the weight which allowed me to focus more on my abs and i didnt really feel it in my lower back after that

so basically ur lower back is bending instead of using ur abs to prevent that and ur just using ur hips to make ur body move up and down isntead of also focussing on ur abs
