Sarge,
those comments you made a few days ago about the 5x5 advancing your lifts without your core keeping pace really resonate with me. I am definitely following along because I think I'm in the same boat and I need to start incorporating more core work outside of weighted situps/declines and hypers myself.
Keep up the progress your squat is gonna be your strength before you know it because of the care and attention you are showing it now.
Merry Christmas amigo.

Treil: I rolled the crap out of my upper right back region for a few seconds... hard... hurt like hell, but felt awesome after. Did the trick, it doesn't feel all tight and knotted today. I love my roller!
lol, thanks. It feels good to feel good an not like a fat fuck... gawdang, where's my cranberry juice!?
CK: Thank you... I hope you and yours have a great holiday too!
Kabeetz: I didn't do ANY bodyweight decline ab crunches when i was getting strong at my squat... up to ~240lbs i think at my most ATF. That was the problem, my posterior chain was getting so friggin strong and tight and simply pulling my spine up and back cuz my ab muscles and whatnot were weak. So if you're doing decline crunches a few times a week that should be good, add weight to them when you can.
Thank you bro. Merry Christmas to you too

I hold the pause for a moment or two and back up explosively. Not all the way down, can't do that my back doesn't appreciate it.al420 said:

I agree with sarge - don't worry about trying to isolate your core (whatever the crap that means) with additional exercises. Just make sure you're progressing on the decline sit-ups and whatever other ab work you're doing and you should be fine. You're using your core a lot on all of the lifts as it is, so core-specific exercises are superfluous unless you're trying to correct an imbalance (which, since you've been keeping up with the sit-ups, probably isn't an issue).Kabeetz said:
I think this is a great idea for YOU seeing I know all about ya! Take some of Treil's advice she gave sarge.Similar threads
