Thx. I think this name is the best known.

I get a pretty solid ab workout when I am dropping a mean deuce.

Ha! Revealed yourself you have!

In secret, Carnal is actually a health nut who obsessively monitors his copious ingestion of fiber! He keeps a clicker in his pocket life a golf pro- just to make sure he stays nice and heathfully regular.

dude, with all the stuff I'm eating after reading the stickies I gotta get my fiber in!

I prefered the old classifications since I'm not that smart with the physiological terms. I'm off to put an ice pack on my face while I do situps, I can do 1000 now.

Add in some Alabama Crab Dangles in the dynamic section.

Also, I tried to restrict the list to exercises that are more intensive for the core than other muscle groups. Obviously, the deadlift is one of the most potent core exercises, period. But if you're doing hyperextensions and not deadlifts, you need to start from scratch.

Finally, a word on difficult exercises to classify: I'm finding Turkish Get-Ups the most difficult of all. I have them under Flexion. I realize that Overhead Squats are not a static movement for the body, but mostly they are for the core, so that's where they go. And though in Side Deadlifts you stay upright, the nature of the lift presents a deviation of the load on a lateral plane; whichever side the weight is on, the opposing set of oblique muscles must compensate for the uneven burden.

Suggestions welcomed.

Not to seem ungrateful.... but the list aint really that much help if there is no explanation or diagram of the exercises.

I use the p90x "ab ripper" workout. Thats pretty good. I also have a myriad of other exercises that have not been listed. I have a pretty decent 6 pack.

Try the glossary, that's where all the exercise descriptions are.

Also, no-one here gives a fuck about your six-pack, has nothing to do with anything.

If you're confused about an exercise or set of exercises listed, why don't you ask?

ASK! consult the glossary! TRY GOOGLE FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Seriously if you're THAT fucking lazy how in the hell can anyone expect you to follow even the best advice. What kind of lazy **** comes onto a forum and says, "this is pretty useless because despite the time and energy the OP put into it, it's not exactly what I fucking wanted, and I'm incapable of looking up standard names of exercises."

GOD DAMN! The world owes you a HUGE fucking apology because your lethargic ass can't get in gear and take some fucking initiative, and the rest of us fail to cater to that. OH HIGH AND MIGHTY EXHAULTED ONE! HOW MAY WE BETTER SERVE YOU?! because it's pretty god damn clear you can't find it in you to serve your own fucking self.

What a piece of work.
