by the state of you lot I'm probably the only person here who hasn't ;D

I'd also wager that if I worked out like Roy Jones used to, I still wouldn't achieve physical ability similar or anywhere near his. ;)
There are literally 100s of exercises harder than any variation of crunch that you can name that you could be doing which would be providing you with way better results than doing 1000, 2000 or 3000 crunches will.
The body responds to overload and if you can do that many reps, either at once or in a single workout than you're not going to achieve anything near the highest possible stimulus for notable adaptation in neurological or muscular strength or power.
What are the objectives of your core workout and how will doing such a high amount of reps achieve it?
You're already doing better exercises like hanging leg raises... which tells me that you're more than ready to ditch the high rep (i.e. 'long road to no where') crunches and start doing more intense movements... replace the bicycle crunches with Olympic bar corner rotations and the crunches with exercise like deep ab roll outs, weighted jack knives, ball plank tuck ins and gymnastic movements like skinning the cat.
I'll be honest, I've never really dedicated an entire session or even a sizable part of one to core training. The body works all or nothing and if you're doing heavier bodyweight moves (especially pull ups, but also dips and the more challenging types of push up) and heavy lifts... squats, deads, presses and cleans then core work should really just be done to supplement the already considerable amount of activation that you've already achieved.
There's a time and a place for isolation and endurance work, just as long as it's not the focus of your workout.
doing 1000s of crunches is going to leave you with tight hip flexors, a neglected posterior chain and a misaligned pelvis as a result. it'll catch up with you in later life and probably give you tonnes of lower back pain.
I don't just do crunches Adam, i do weighted side bends, weight plate crunches, ab roll, ETC. It's worked for me i've seen good results, maybe i should of worded it better. But what i mean is that all adds up to near enough 1000. I didn't mean i just do 1000 crunches.
And i do alot of body weight exercises like dips, chin ups, push ups, ETC. Thanks for the advice Adam but honestly mate i never get any back pain, and i always make sure i keep good form.
That's good, I'd just make sure that you balance out your ab work with glute, lower back and hamstring work.
Or else you may develop problems later on.
holy shit i came to lets get it on to look for some fat naked chics maybe BIG H recently posted and see a training thread happened.
Top my trump bitch! :P
Clearly that is what bumblood would rather talk about... :p
lol wtf is going on in here?
ok Adam is obv drunk and it's what not even noon wherever that place he lives is. Where lbs and kilos are stones and money is quids or quarks or something. All i know is its all ass backwards and reads like A Clockwork Orange except without the cool outfits.
So tomorrow I shall be drunk by 9 am and post rubbish while doing 4000 crunches. Then punch a horse.
;)
??? Kilos are kilos and pounds are pounds. A stone is just a unit of 14 pounds.
Oh and a quid is just slang for 1 pound sterling... Same as a buck is slang for a dollar.
Stop me if this is becoming too complicated. ;)
Oh and top my trump you drunken infant! :p
Edit: also don't get drunk off your first shandy at 9am and punch your girlfriend... That's not nice.
lol pretty sure you just called my girlfriend a horse face.
Al right Adam, I can't be sure what you're saying because mixed in ICB and crunches it all reads like something after I just walked through platform 9 3/4.
Did you get a KO in 9 seconds in one punch in the ring? If so, that is pretty good and I can't top that...yet. but it's close. So good job! I did KO an mma scrub in about 8 seconds but that don't count. he was trying to use take down and shit.
:D
I have no idea how this game works. Am I doing it right? :-\
lol... we both know you could easily just say 'most boxing victories' etc... as I'm sure you've probably got about 5 times as many wins than I've even had bouts... I just thought I'd pick something oddly specific because I'm a cheeky cunt. ;)
right then. still no idea what is going on. back to regular programming.
Miles is gay but bilbo's super gayer. And apparently Mark likes to bum. That last one is news to me but if Master says it's so, then...
wooo.
Yes, Mark is a right old arse bandit. But I dispute the miles and Bilbo comparison, I don't want him to be more than me in anything.
I shit u not. Bad thing is this reveals me for the ho I was as a youth ;D
Her name was Amerette....nickname "Reddi" :p I asked "ready for what" and off we went :rolleyes:
Its fooking nuts, her highschool friend messaged me on FB two months ago and said they were hanging out and mentioned school reunion.....el block and delete'o ;D
No shit... Wow!
That's some serious fucking right there.
I remember towards the last days of the month their were several days where life felt unreal and I lost track of days and time almost blanking out at some points.
I'd fall asleep just about anywhere. Constantly yawning and just out of it.
the shame all mods carry.:eek:
So that's why the MOD's section on that board is invisible to the rest of us, way too much anal intercourse references.
