www.squidoo.com The 3 Best Abdominal Exercises that Are Not Traditional Ab Exercises by Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer Instead of the typical ab routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc… I like to give my readers better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work their entire body while also working their abs… thus building rock hard abs & core, but also creating a much better fat-burning workout than a typical ab workout. I’m going to show you an example today of one of my favorite “ab workouts” that doesn’t include any direct “ab exercises” at all. It’s in a tri-set format (similar to a super-set but alternating between 3 exercises). Here goes: 1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows 1b. Front Squats with Barbell 1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor A good rep scheme to use with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Mountain climbers can be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) instead of “reps”. Exercise Pics & Descriptions: Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect during the rows creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust …
@tina34ist A set you do with lighter weight than your “work set”, which is the highest weight you’ll lift that session. For example, if you plan on squatting 150lbs for 2 sets of 6 reps, you might warm up first with the bar for 5 reps, then 85lbs for 5 reps, 110 for 3 reps, and finally do your 150 lbs work sets. That way, you “warm up” for the heavy lifts (your muscles literally warm up, and you also get to practice correct form so you reduce risk of injury when doing the heavy weights).
bought mike geary’s ebook and in his ebook example training program 5 (intermediate to advanced level) page number 128 he mentioned warm up sets for example barbell overhead squats- warm up sets, then 2×6, what is a warm up set? Does anyone know? Thanks!
Quite the stones you have, introducing exericses and even pictures from Truth About Abs, and then referencing some other site…
great workout
Aha
very interesting
is it true? I have mass but fat too. How do i get rid of the fat if I dont do cardio like running, rope jumping etc?
Youve lost any hope of credibility with your you dont gain anything (for your abs) post.
To prove you wrong, someone only needs to do this set once.
Mike Gearys system is about getting six pack abs to SHOW. Everyone already knows how to isolate the ab group. Funny how few people get washboard abs, despite being crunch crazy!
These exercises are not only great for your back and legs, but they are great for core strength, which is great for your abs. Thanks for posting!
yea short sprints n stuff , thats good
that’s true. I guess that’s why short intervals of HIIT cardio are the best.
well ur body only works anaerobic for like 90 seconds, and thats the part which is the most efficient one for building up muscles
after 90 seconds it turns aerobical
cardio only burns muscle if you do it too long.
Oh my god Peter you have no idea lol..
Cardio mostly burns muscles, not fat.
You gotta get ur RMR up to lose fat in the most effective way.
And thats by training large muscle groups, like in these exercises.
l2p kkthxbye
These aren’t exercises for your abs!!! That’s false.
So you don’t gain anything!!!
Do some real execises for you abs and do cardio to lose fat!!!
That’s shit
