Catalogue of Core/Abdominal/Oblique Exercises

[Mark Limbaga]

add Pendlay rows to the mix as well

[Madmick]

I don't know where the Turkish Get-Up would be best suited. There's flexion, rotation, and/or lateral deviation depending on which version one does.

[Madmick]

Okay, I have to add:
Bent Press Frog Kicks v Holds

I don't know what the hell those are.

Pendlay rows are an upper back exercise more than they are a core exercise.

Oyaji, despite you're cogent argument, I'm keeping "Butt Rows". I like it.

Turkish getups would probably be dynamic or obliques... how about waiter walks as well?

Even though it involves abdominal extension, I think it's misleading to classify ab wheel rollouts as such.

Madmick for mod...

What about woodchoppers?

Got them there as "High-Pulley Pull-Downs (Sledgehammers)". I'll add the alias.

Yeah, I thought so, too. I decided to go with extension since the extension is the first isotonic contraction of the movement (and the flexion is the recovery).

But I'll just add the rollout to the flexion list as well. There really isn't another exercise that is split so evenly in intensity between flexion and extension.

Thank you.

Thought i'd just metnion that this is a great thread. Also, when you re organized the list, i noticed you left out planks, i'm not sure if you missed any others though
