Default Bad (!@#$%^&*) triset for the abdominals!

Ok, ok ok!! I did this today and it hurt like hell and I just wanted to share. This is the kinda work out I'd show my most hated enemies (cuz of the pain, no you're not my most hated enemies)
Ok, first, I have to tell you what an atomic crunch is. I don't know if there's a picture of it in the work outs thing, there probably is under a different name but anyway. It's where only your but is touching the floor and your legs are straight out 6 inches off the ground. and then you do like a sit up and also bring your knees to your head. you'll kinda look like a V.
But here's the triset: Weighted Sit ups then Weighted Leg Lifts (use ankle weights) and then Weighted Atomic Crunches! Good luck!

i've got a couple different workouts that i enjoy for my abs, feel free to try this one......

1. bicycle - 30 seconds
2. reverse curls - 12
3. V-Ups - 12
4. crunches - 12
5. russian twists - 12
6. V-Rows - 12
7. leg ups - 12 (i think that's what you call them or maybe hip ups)
8. power situps - 12 (have someone stand on toes and do a crunch to the left, middle and right = 1)
9. bicycle - 30 seconds

go thru all of these with no rest and repeat if you can handle it

Using ankle weights you are prone to injury, they are very hard on the body.

"The truth I’ve discovered is that you don’t have to lift enormous weights to grow muscle. By using stricter form, slower negatives, and stretching between sets you can get an incredible pump in all your workouts. Numbers are an abstraction, especially to muscles. Your body doesn’t know the absolute weight of what you lift, it only recognizes how heavy it feels. The secret is to make lighter weights feel heavier. " - Frank Zane

Quotes from Joe Yu King:
[ QUOTE ]
ankle weights will pull on the ligaments in your knees in an abnormal manner, causing significant deterioration.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Don't wear them. They can cause long term joint damage.

[ QUOTE ]
Ankle weights should NEVER be put on ANY athlete - period

What about holding a dumbbell in between your ankles, does that cause the same stress?
