I'll tell you right up front, this exercise is going to MURDER your six-pack abs.

Seriously, this one burns like crazy. Your rectus abdominis muscles (six-pack abs) get NO break through the entire exercise...the abs are under continuous tension and resistance from start to finish.

If you want your abs to "pop"...this exercise is going to do it (and I don't mean pop, like explode, even though it might feel like it...I mean pop like show up better).

During the exercise, in addition to the constant tension, your abs are contracting from the "top-down" (i.e. a crunch, bringing the rib cage towards the pelvis) AND the "bottom-up" (i.e. a leg raise, bringing the pelvis towards the rib cage). This activates the upper and lower aspects of the abs equally.

You will either hit muscular failure (where your actual muscle fibers fail) or chemical failure (i.e. accumulation of lactate...the burn will be too intense to continue).

THEN you're done.

You only need one, maybe two, sets of this and your six-pack abs will be trashed...

...and you will hate me.
