Unconventional Ab Exercises for Men
Training abdominal and core muscles are an important factor in men's health. But there are many misconceptions on how to train your abs. Needless to say endless reps and sets of crunches and sit-ups aren't the most effective way to train your abs. Of course diet and cardio play a tremendous role on being able to see your abs. But there are a few unconventional exercises that aren't considered targeted ab exercises yet probably work your ab muscles better than any other exercise. Here are a few of the men's health ab exercises.
Deadlifts - This is indeed a powerlifting movement but doing deadlifts not only works your abs and core, but you're working almost every muscle in your body to some degree. If you want strong abs deadlifts is a great exercise to implement into your training regimen.
Front Squats This exercise is considered a great movement for building your quads but due to the nature of the movement you're working your abs and core pretty hard as well. You don't need to lift a ton of weight and form is of the utmost importance. In fact proper form on any men's health exercise is imperative.
Cleans Performing cleans is another superior strength building exercise in which most do not realize how much ab training they're getting from it.
Tricep Pushdowns This exercise targets your triceps but also forces you to keep your abs tight during the movement and your body actually performs a short crunch-like motion.
It's fine to do targeted ab exercises. But if you're frustrated with the results of traditional ab workouts as many people are, you should try something new such as the exercises listed above. In fat weight training in general will stimulate your abdominal muscles. Remember, it's not just about getting a six pack; men's health is also about strengthening your entire core.
