| Swanso, what is a prone ab brace? I tried to do a search on Google, but I still do not have an explanation. |

i never said it was the best (although it just about is) but it is the best beginner core exercise out there...if you can't do 2mins of this with perfect technique (straight line from head to toe, elbows in front of shoulders, hands apart with thumbs up to the roof, forearms straight out in front, no tilting, no hip hiking and squeezing shoulder blades together with depression) then there is no other core exercise you should be doing
there's endless variations to increase difficulty too |
Yea for prone i cna do them perfecty for more than 2 mins ... For the abs tough i don't pass a lot of time to train them isolately ...
Decline Crunch on bench variations, Leg Raises variations still works ... But as Cressey said : do your deads ? lol |
