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
