Sometimes i do Decline weighted situps, and the medecine ball exercises here + Show Spoiler + But I do toss the ball against the wall in between each rep of the twist. I really only break out these exercises when I'm working out with someone who's worried about their abs, and typically has them as part of a routine - but I can usually beat those guys in terms of reps, form, or weight with my squat 'n DL inspired core. | ||

I could demolish something right now. yeaaa... thats why Im glad my goals are more weight oriented so I dont feel bad deloading every now and then. losing about a pound per week and making okay progress on lifts. edit* also those windshield wipers look brutal >_< idk maybe its just cause Im a fatty | ||

I do many big lifts, and even though my forearms aren't big, they're pretty strong and hold up well in all my lifts. Although I somewhat want to find something to replace that void, even though a shorter workout would be nice. Anyways, what I came up with, is I'd like to do some core work. Right now I do 2 compound lifts per day and usually 5 isolation, and I've never worked my abs before besides some decline weighted sit-ups when I was starting out. I'm not sure how many of you guys actually do core exercises because squat and dead-lift does a good job apparently, but some leg-raises or something might be good, also I'd want to target my obliques a bit too. So if you recommend it or don't recommend it, let me know (: pull ups and chin ups will definitely work your forearm and biceps | ||

And that's the main reason I threw forearms out of the window. Deadlift, benchpress, holding anything heavy really does good for forearms, plus for my bicep curl warm up I do like the opposite grip bicep curl, but yeah, they are trained enough. Anyways back to the training abs. I see how to train them, but what will training them do for me? Will they become more defined, will they bulge out more, will they help me out with squats and dead lift? What's the reasoning is what I'm wondering about. In the gym I asked a personal trainer about their thought, and they said dead lift and squats already do your abs enough, just make sure to focus on keeping a stable core while doing them. I mean my abs are the only muscle right now where I have slight chub, like you can see a very faint 6 pack, while all my other muscles are pretty defined. I'm still doing low rep exercises so it's not like I can get super lean. So TLDR. What will ab exercises help me achieve besides aesthetics. I don't see many thinner power-lifters do them, so maybe they aren't that great for what I'm after. | ||

So yeah, if you want to try a good app hit me up with your email and I'll share something really nice for you.  Dimsum, 140kg? Really? I'm nowhere near your level and I deadlift that. My 1rm is 160kg. Tomorrow is heavy front squat, power clean and clean and jerk day. Hopefully I will be able to jerk 75kg and be done with BW C&J. Will try to take videos :D | ||

Although I don't think the little things to block the weights from falling off would work with the stoppers at my gym, at that angle at least. | ||

Got more awesome though. Broke through my press as well, gonna add some weight next time. And then it got even more awesome. I had had suspicions for a while and today I asked someone, and it turns out the bars don't weigh 10kg as previously thought. They weigh 20. So basically I lift 10 kilograms (~22 lbs) more in all exercies than I thought. It was like finding money. Hate lunges though. Hurts my crotch. But overall today is a pretty good day.

It's free and it's very user friendly, got custom routine setups with varying reps and weights per set, a rest timer and graphed progress charts. It's great. | ||
