I will definetly try this, as everyone seems to like it and you do have some impressive abs. Do you feel that this is the difference maker for you, or did you have as good of abs as you do now 5 years ago.
Also, are you saying you do nothing for the obliques?
I had almost no abs when I started this approach, and its been the only routine I've done for 5 years so I can honestly say its responsible for my abs. As for obliques/intercostals, I have killer ones that blew everyone else off stage, and I have done nothing to train them directly. All I ever do is heavy deadlifts and squats with no belt
