Subject: 2 weirdly awesome ab exercises...

So yesterday, I told you I'll be retiring my book "The Best Abdominal Exercises You've Never Heard Of" tomorrow (Monday) at midnight.

With that in mind, I wanted to give you a couple of sample exercises to try out from the book...these don't look like your typical ab exercises but they work like crazy.

 

Pushdowns to the Floor

Set up this exercise by clipping a bar attachment onto a high pulley. Stand in position as you normally would for a pushdown. Get the bar to the bottom of the regular pushdown position.

Lean forward into the cable, pushing your torso into the cable, setting your head either to the left or right side of the cable so that the cable is running down one side of your neck. This will allow you to keep your body closer to the line of resistance, minimizing torque on the lower back.

Lock the elbows, and arch your back a little for the start position. From this point, keep your arms fully extended and locked out straight down then just try and push the bar right down to the floor or as close to it as you can get.

Bend at the waist and the knees as you come down and push it hard. Squeeze your abs hard at the bottom. Be sure not to move your feet while doing the exercise to get the best contraction.

Get the negative as you let your body come up slowly, fighting the weight on the way up. Switch the side of your head that cable is on every two or three reps to balance the tension on your abs.

To hit the obliques along with the rectus abdominis, use a single handle instead of a regular bar. When you push it down, bring it down to the opposing foot. This will strongly hit the obliques.

You can do all your reps to one side then switch to the other or you can alternate reps by switching hands on each rep.

 

Reverse Leg Raises - "Giant Wedgies"

You'll see why I call it that when you see the pics...

Set your hands on a set of dipping bars or the handles of the hanging chair ab station and get into the top position of the dip (arms locked out) with your torso hunched over as though you're trying to form a half-moon shape with your body. If your feet hit anything, turn around and face the other way.

Keep your arms locked out and in the same position throughout the movement. The motion will not come from your arms.

Start the movement by very deliberately drawing your abs up and in (as though sucking up your gut). Bring your hips upwards towards the ceiling. This will cause your lower body to lift up and your upper body to hunch forward more. Draw your lower body up as high as you possibly can with this technique then hold it there and squeeze the abs hard for a few seconds.

This looks like an invisible giant giving you a wedgie.

If you've watched gymnastics, the movement is very similar to the first part of the movement when a person goes from a locked-out dip position on the parallel bars up into a handstand. Rather than going all the way up into a handstand, however, you leave your legs in front of you and focus on squeezing and sucking up the abs.

Lower down slowly then repeat.

Give these exercises a try either today or tomorrow, because this book WILL be pulled tomorrow at midnight PST.

And right now, you can snap it up for just 5 BUCKS.
