Exercises: Abdominals

The exercises in the pics are:

• Machine Ab Crunches
• Abdominal Leg Raises
• Lying Ab Crunches

Some Key Points:

• Keep continuous tension on the muscles throughout the movement, squeezing the abs hard throughout the movement
• Do not use momentum to lift your body, but rather a controlled uniform motion
• Activate the abdominals by squeezing hard prior to the movement and maintaining this throughout the exercise
• You should feel a burn while training abs properly; persist through that burn so that a muscular adaptation is permitted after providing that stimulus for growth
