ohhh ok, that makes sense... incline

lol, of course I can. I don't give a shit... I live with pain everyday, it SUCKS... puts me in a shitty mood too. I'm going to do whatever it takes to bring my core up to par and make it stronger.

You CAN do ball work if you're a big enough man to not take shit off the other guys on here.

Just as long as you know your going to get shit from us....lol

I do swissball crunches a few times a month - sometimes I even do leg raises, but DO NOT tell Tony...lol

GOOD because as you have noticed by those people you help, and those that PM you for advice & thank you for keeping this journal, you help more people than you realize. Don't ever let that change & become unapproachable.

My healthy full head of hair fro tends to get in the way though... I freely admit that I may be getting jerry curls soon.






Thank you sweetheart I try to help where I can, though sometimes it's unappreciated... I know, lol.

At this point, sarge, I think what you need is just to develop some basic abdominal strength, as evidenced by the fact that a couple sets of bodyweight decline sit-ups kicked your ass for the next week. Given that you do squats, deads and standing overhead work, I think focusing on stabilizers is unnecessary.

Not posting doesn't mean not reading......lol..........

Sarge, again I have to echo, if you're doing standing overhead work, squats, olymic lifts, deadlifts.....basically any lift where the only thing between the weight and the ground is your body, then you'll be as 'stable' as you can possibly be. I agree with CS that full-range abdominal strength is the only specialized thing that you may want to address. I think getting good at decline situps would be a good start. Just do 2 sets before every single workout as a warm-up.........when you get 2x25, hold a 2.5 or 5lb plate over your head, then add more when you get those 2x25.

Al...do you wear daisy dukes and combat boots while on the Swiss Ball?

LoL

Ok, ok. I get it. But doing some stabilization work won't hinder progress, so why not? Especially if it helps my core and thus keeping me tighter and having less back pain.
... I'll make sure to wear my uber-80's pink stripe aeorbic socks for those days lol

...and to the lifting that was tonight, up next...
