how do i do a proper crunch?
-
i've been told that when doing crunches it is actually dangerous to use my neck. i've noted that advice but whenever i do crunches somehow i just feel a slight strain in my neck. how do i perform a correct crunch? and how do i know if i'm doing it right?
-
Very easy.
Step 1: Don't -
if dun do crunches, then how to train abs?
-
try leg raises or flipper kicks (the navy seal way)
trains ur abdomen even harder. -
yawns.......
-
erm.. i do feel my abs but somehow i feel my neck too. the strain is not very strong just really really slight and my neck feels weird afterwards. is that supposed to happen?
-
just raise your legs will do (hold longer) but only train some parts of abs only.
-
Then make sure your neck don't bend
A proper crunch is all about squeezing your abs as hard as possible. Done properly, one would find it hard to do more than 10~12 reps in a set, maybe less. It is more on quality than quantity. Quantity only counts when you want to cheat in the army, when they make us do more than 20 at one shot. But that is not a proper crunch. -
can do other exercises..
like bridge..
can find a lot more online..
hard for me to list out.. -
Crunches are a pretty non-functional ab exercise. At best it is incomplete. At worst, it can cause injuries.

Shows how little you know.Originally posted by MidnightK:i wonder how you became a mod last time..
if you do crunches the right way, you will feel your abs 'vibrating'
there are many exercises on training the abs..
crunches is one of them..
On another note - weak deep cervical flexors are the reason people feel their necks.....

Peter is seldom at the gym, or will be at weird times, so don't expect to pop by and find him there, since it's a private facility. You gotta make an appointment.
And no he does not sell supplements in Singapore. -
