Weighted Crunches

[Womanizer]

Are these any good? or are weighted situps better?

And how much should i be doing, 7 sets of 50?

hmm weighted crunches help if u find BW crunches to easy.. it will just make them harder and put more resistance.. as for whether or not you should do situps or crunches doesnt really matter if ur gonna do situps us the situp bench and hold a medicine ball behind your head.. might help bit more

cable crunches! 6 sets 12 reps. one day a week(legday). workes like a charm

lay on the ground with your feet straight out in front of you so that you are flat on the ground. place a DB on your chest, and hold on to it. now, do sit ups, all the while keeping the heels of your feet on the ground.

db might hurt depending on the weight just since its a round head... i do them with a 25-35 plate and the only thing hurting after is my abs

well, it depends on what your goals are. abviously diet is the key to seeing those abs, and lifting is the key to defining / strengthening the abs. I am more concerned with their strength and how that carries over into my other lifts, so that's why I go more of a weighted route.

it depends on what you want to accomplish..
both are good..

i prefer ab pull downs..use the high lat pulldown or the tricep ext with a rope..you can stabilize your low back by using a swiss ball on oyur low back..
push your stomach out and pull down until your torso is past parallel

personally i dont care how big my waist gets i need core strength so i treat abs just like any oter muscle group and use weights that allow me to get my reps as low as 5..usually i have a heavy ab day and work towrds a few sets of 5-8 reps..then a lighter ab day doing sets of 10-20 (still using weight)
