I've been working out so I can bang more A**** chicks, and I've been doing situps for a while. But recently it's been killing my lower back so I've kinda just stopped so I don't exasperate it further >_> Is there anyway to work out my abs without straining my lower back? I've heard that situps apparently are bad for your back, so I kinda believe it now that I've had some pain recently lol --- Neon >_> ... Copied to Clipboard!

DKBananaSlamma posted... I have been doing 4 sets of 30-second planks. Do squats work out your abs? I've been doing both regular squats and sumo squatsGoblet squats iirc My ab workout is planks, mason twists, crunches, side bends, leg raises, and sometimes side planks. Look up videos for proper form, ideally you would have a mirror nearby so you can keep an eye out if you are slipping up. But the lower back issue might need addressing, better to address pain now then have it worsen later I assure you. Do you work out your lower back, and does it hurt when you do? ...

If sit-ups are hurting your back, ditch them. They place a lot of load on the lower-back and PSOAS muscles, so they're not the best way to isolate your abs. Spine biomechanic Dr. Stuart McGill recommends against them entirely. My favorite ab exercises are ab wheel rollouts and good ol' planks. --- Currently playing: Skyrim, Hearthstone Training log: https://powpowpunishment.blogspot.com ... Copied to Clipboard!

You'd be less likely to injure yourself if strengthen your whole core tbh, which includes lower back. Try adding some sets of back raises to your core workout maybe. You can also try stretches, they can lower back pain and build muscle pretty safely. Supermans, bridges and seated floor touches are good and not strenuous. ... Copied to Clipboard!

GeraldDarko posted... Rotating your torso as in the picture is...There's no resistance profile you can claim from simply twisting your torso to say that's an effective way to load and train the abdominals. Your abs are doing some work by merely moving, just like your bicep is working when you do something as banal as picking up a pencil, but is there any meaningful stimulus that the muscles are adapting to? Just by twisting? Hardly. And on top of that, you really don't want to blindly tell someone with back pain to stretch their back that far. I can scan Dr. Stuart McGill's take on that from one of his textbooks when I get home. --- Currently playing: Skyrim, Hearthstone Training log: https://powpowpunishment.blogspot.com ...

all these other things require back movement tho and the topic was about abs without killing back once we in that place i think planking is indeed the answer. also, while we at it, do some back workouts on the back machine at the gym. --- --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Simply having lumbar flexion isn't "killing" the lower back so yeah, there's plenty of reason to recommend other exercises in addition to planks (which are excellent for treating back pain, btw). He said he has pain from sit-ups, which uniquely have a reputation for being hard on the discs and are recommended against by probably the biggest expert on spine biomechanics in the world, McGill (I still do em but they don't give me pain). --- Currently playing: Skyrim, Hearthstone Training log: https://powpowpunishment.blogspot.com ...

I could honestly elicit a lactic acid response and make my forearms burn from doing 30 or so reps of light wrist curls but it doesn't mean I'm doing much for my forearms (and obliques aren't abs, anyways). --- Currently playing: Skyrim, Hearthstone Training log: https://powpowpunishment.blogspot.com ...

It's great for the convenience factor and is a high-quality protein source but don't be under the impression that there's anything substantially better about supplements vs whole food. High protein diets damaging your kidneys is unsubstantiated. Most of the studies purporting that were in people with kidney damage, or diabetics. "The available evidence suggests that, in healthy people, a high-protein diet does not adversely affect kidney function or increase the risk of CKD." https://examine.com/categories/kidney-urinary-health/faq/3JDjn2r-can-eating-too-much-protein-be-bad-for-you/ --- Currently playing: Skyrim, Hearthstone Training log: https://powpowpunishment.blogspot.com ...

i hate ab exercises with a passion and only found 2 that didn't bring me as much grief: ab roller ab pulldown(cable) i used to do both but in the end just stuck with the latter exercise since it allowed me to treat the abs as any other muscle group and enabled me to load up and get fatigued within a decent rep range instead of banging out say 10-30+ reps of random exercises where your body seems to give up before your abs do. --- http://abload.de/img/pcgamingxtuvt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9Yv0R2Z.jpg ...
