Attack of the Killer Abs

Follow this quick abdominal routine to take a step towards shredded abs. You are also going to need to adjust your diet, but we will leave that open for discussion.

First exercise: Cable Crunch – Kneeling

Assume the position on your knees. Place your head in between the rope.

Now you’re ready for the movement. One rep consists of a three movements so prepare for pain. First lean over bringing your chest towards your pelvis and return to the starting position. The second part of the rep requires you lean facing your chest to your right knee and return to the start position to perform a rep to the left knee. That three part movement equals one rep. Perform 12 of those reps for 5 sets. The stronger your abs get the more weight you can add to the pulley.

Second exercise: The 2-Inch Crunch

Try this movement and you’ll never be the same. Lay on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Raise your torso 3 inches off the ground hold it 3 seconds and then proceed to lower your torso only two inches slowly, snail slow and stop. Hold that negative position 3 seconds and then resume the slow torturous two inch climb and hold it once more. Perform 21 of these repetitions for that slow controlled burn. This is meant to hurt…do you want a ripped six pack or what? Aim to perform 3 sets.

Third exercise: The Dumbbell 2-Inch Crunch

Choose an amount of weight that you will be comfortable with for four sets. Perform the same 2-Inch crunch but now with a twist. Alternate 2 inch reps with a full rise crunch repetition within the same set. Start with the dumbbell on your right side and perform then 2 inch crunch to then perform a full crunch to the opposite side that the weight is on (left) and repeat this movement to the right, and then return to the 2 inch crunch. Got that? So one rep consists of one 2 inch crunch and two reverse side crunches. Aim for 8 reps and 3 sets. Go for a forth set for extra gravy!

Good Luck and give this killer ab workout a try!
