Squat cage.

Iron and chalk.

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

How come I knew you would say that wrestler? Cable crunches to isolate.

Not to take anything away from wrestler's response though.

hmmmm. I've never had any problem with abdominal development with myself or my clients. Most people are looking for a great abdominal developer that will burn fat off their abs. Squats burn fat.

Take a guy that squats 275*5, will prob be able to cable crunch 150 max.
Work = force * distance.
Squat = 275lbs*2.2(Conversion to kilos)*9.8(gravitational constant) * 1 meter ROM * 5 repetitions.
Crunch = 150/2(cable)*2.2*9.8*.3meters.

Squat = 29645 newton meters (joules)
Crunch = 485.1 joules.

I wonder what burns more calories.

How come your on the defensive? There's no need to explain yourself. You have your methods, I have mine. Leave it at that.
