Here is a recent post directed to me on the Elite Q/A:
Jim what are your 5 favorite standing abdominal movements?
____________________________________________________
Cory,
In no particular order, here are some of the top abdominal exercises.
- zercher squat, bracing the torso, under tension, while engaging movements of the lower body
- explosive med ball rotational throws, no deceleration
- core statics – lateral shuffles with agitation and breathing regulation, anti-rotation
- pull-ups – upper back muscular is an essential component of core strength
- deadlifts – full body movement requiring bracing (rigidity) and is essential for developing posterior chain, the other half of the core
