STB - I meant to thank you for the blog you did on core work, those front squat holds are f’in killers!!
I don’t know what a front squat hold is. I do front squats as an assistnace exercise but i’ve never done a front squat hold.
Could someone explain how to do these?

Load up big weight on the front squat. Stand up with it. Hold it. Feel teh burnzzzzz. Rack it. Repeat.
Thanks, I assumed it was pretty simple. Maybe I’ll give those a try.

Erm, I like suitcase deadlifts. You get an exercise that requires you to resist lateral flexion that also works on grip and your posterior chain. Fuck yeah.[/quote]
Seconded
Check this out. Just go down to the exercises if you don’t feel like reading the whole thing. This is my anti-d-bag-fitness blog. I pretty much go through every exercise you need to actually get stronger abs.
STB, just want to say that you have a great blog there, with great information.
I second that.

Watch the “So you think you can squat” series. They go over some ab stuff. Right now I’m doing standing abs only w/ a short medium band hanging from a chin bar and my abs get sore. Also do chins w/ your knees raised, somewhere on this site they had an article and they had an EEG hooked up to a dude and the most ab activity was during chin-ups, even compared to crunches and all sorts of other shit.[/quote]
Actually what you need to do is forcefully push yourself away from the bar on the decent which is what that article went over. You can notice the change immediately when you start keeping your legs straight and forcefully pushing yourself away from the bar which makes sense as it is the start of a front lever which requires a ton of core strength.
Thanks to the both of you. It gets kind of silly at times but I am trying to put some good info on there.
