Are you using these three exercises to build your six pack abs?

By Caleb Lee

One of the questions I hear the most often in my capacity as a trainer and all around fitness expert is how to best work the abdominal muscles (or abs).

Since I get this all the time, I'm going to try in this article to address a lot of these questions at once and give you a quick rundown on three of my personal favorite simple floor exercises for working out your abs.

1) Full Vertical Crunch. This one hits your upper and lower body at the same time and really gets your abs into the swing of things.

Get on your back and bring your legs up so they're pointing toward the ceiling. Put your hands behind your head (or just hold your ears) and raise your shoulder blades off the floor - this will contract your abdominals. While you're doing this, stretch your legs upward as if you're trying to get your heels on the ceiling (point with your heels not your toes).

What you want to aim for is to make your body into a "u" shape.

The just lower back into the starting position.

This should be done for between 10 and fifteen reps each time.

2) Long Arm Crunch. This exercise focus on your upper abs and is easy to do. Lie on your back (on a mat if you have one) with your arms stretched out straight behind your head.

You'll know you're doing it right if your arms are near or touching your ears! Contract your abs to lift your shoulder blades off the floor. Perform 10-15 reps per set.

3) Vertical Leg Crunch, Here's a good one for your obliques. Start by Lying face up on the floor, legs straight up and cross your knees.

In this exercise, imagine that you're trying to touch your chest to your feet... lift your shoulder blades off the floor and contract your abs to do this.

Lower your body and do this 10 to fifteen times for each set.

Inside Bodybuilding ...Past and Present (Part 2)

By Mick Hart

There exists an elite group of hard core bodybuilders who pump like hell and just love strutting round and showing off their muscles and only focus on competitions and winning them and making a space in their trophy cabinet. This is all very well but their training does have a basis and continually keeps up with the ever rising standards that are expected at modern day physique contests with regards muscular form.

These contests in fact play a major role in dictating bodybuilders hopes and inspirations. There is a vast media coverage of these competitions in muscle mags and they give in depth guidance in how bodybuilders should perform in the gym. They basically focus on the big guys that win the biggest contests and reveal every fine detail regarding their training program and routines.

So we have seen just why such contests are so important to set high standards in the bodybuilding world so now let's have a look at the judges themselves and the criteria they employ to reach the necessary goals required to keep the ball rolling.

Who for example 'polices' the judges? How do they judge? What qualifications should a physique judge have, for example should a pre-judging eye sight test be compulsory. I ask this because I am NOT joking, when I say I once sat behind a judge who actually kept turning around to me and asking me to confirm the number on the contestants trunks.

Apart from sight problems though, there are still problems with international judges who may be suffering from jet lag which has lead to some extremely controversial decisions being made in the past. Fortunately there are very sophisticated scoring systems now in place which help the prevention of individual judges making stupid decisions.

Just like soccer for example, this is a professional sport and refs or judges are extremely dedicated to their function and certainly don't have any favorites. They certainly don't get paid a lot for their efforts but it is a way for retired competitors to keep in touch with their favorite sport. My opinion is that although a few mistakes may be made by a minority, these guys are doing a great job in repaying a sport which has meant so much to them throughout their lives.

The role played by the judges though is one that can influence greatly the personal goals set by competitors. Some comments made in the past make the picture quite clear, for example Russ Warner a famous photographer said that judges can either send you home a hero or cast you into a pit and Rick Wayne a legendary Weider writer once said that Judges were like a sect and that nothing of a competitor's life could influence them.

That's a hard one to live up to. Charisma and reputation always influence our human subconscious minds and therefore the decisions we make. Beauty is indeed "in the eye of the beholder." Despite being lifted from the ranks of doctors, lawyers, teachers and practicing and retired bodybuilders, judges are all only human and therefore open to criticism over their own qualifications and decisions.
