Ab Exercises: The Bicycle Crunch

[igaclan123]

bicyle crunshes are so hard 2 do sometimes

[rangi344]

whenever i do crunches my lower back hurts... why???

[purefunguy]

maybe u bent ur neck too much.

[SadegoGG]

Because crunches suck, isolate your core, and get you in worst shape.

Each crunch you do puts over 800 lbs of pressure on your spine.

Don't listen to Joe Muscles in fitness magazines, he has been doing steroids since he was like 6 and would have a 6 pack regardless.

Do posterior/anterior chain work, use all ~30 muscles in your core, work flexibility and range of motion in core/hips, and don't work to exhaustion. Also, work in lower reps (2-10) sometimes 12. And lighter weights.

You could take all the stzeroids you wanted and still look like the faggot bitchboy you are!

@DrCarlKoslovski

Its appalling you would respond to such an old post with frivolous gibberish. However, if you wish to be such a negative individual, then that's your decision to make. IF you want to change your attitude and become a more productive individual who has friends, I can teach you how to do that. But its your decision to make and without your willingness, you won't change.

@rangi344 your probably laying on your tailbone. Try doing it in a different position.

[NatalieEdgeEdwards]

@Lord13ubbles11 What a load of bollocks

[3ternalBeauty]

@rangi344 are you using an excercising mat? you should have a padding like a mat so your back doesn't hurt.

[ageytube]

[evilidiot55]

Do you have to touch your knee?

[CrazyGamer3824]

It is not required if it adds extra work as it does not add any benefit and could result in back or neck injury.

[anthwhite91]

The advertisement would be better recieved if that wooden stick snapped whilst the guy was using it. It would make me laugh, they could then have an encouraging slogan such as: "Get off of the computer and excercise you fat bastard".

[r3naldy]

hey i have seen some people lifting the body up to touch the alternate knee and then go down and then lift up to touch the alternate knee again bicycle crunch, and some that do it just like what the video shows,lift up the body and then repeating the left elbow to right knee,right elbow to left knee action,which is then the correct one?

[Stavvers100]

This video displays the correct technique for the bicycle crunch, there really isn't any need to ''go down'' - it should be a constant, flowing movement, like in the video :)

Hope that helped...

[lumenscribble]

Shame on you for spending the first 45 seconds of this video on self-promotion. Don't waste our time.

The Bicycle exercise is the best move to target the rectus abdominis (i.e., the 'six pack') and the obliques (the waist), according to a study done by the American Council on Exercise. Do this exercise correctly and you'll start seeing results in 2-3 weeks if you are not overweight (You can have the most toned and defined abs but they won't show through if there's a layer of fat over them). EAT FIBERS + DRINK WATER!!! Be patient and FEEL GOOD AT THE BEACH!!!

[punkrocker2493]

2-3 weeks?

along with how many sets of how many reps on how many days each week?

[cyborgxxi]

4~5 days a week is fine.

I would suggest 3x20 on the first week. Then 4x20, 4x25, 5x25 like that... then goes to 6x25, 6x30, 10x20, 10x20, 10x20, 15x20, 20x20...

[Cunanawr]

That sounds complicated cyborgxxi

Lets just say during the first couple of weeks, doing at least 5 minutes a day will give you your tone by 2-3 weeks.

Everyone is not the same, so increase your time the easier it gets. Eventually you'll see results, but you'll definitely feel them every session. Try it, it does work :)

[Y2JboyKc]

what does 3x20 mean

[scotiler]

3x20 = 3 sets of 20, so you do a set of 20 crunches, take a short break then another 20 then a short break then the last set of 20, 3x20

[LiamCrowley1990]

@Y2JboyKc It means your parents are probably cousins

[Y2JboyKc]

@LiamCrowley1990 DICK

[LiamCrowley1990]

@Y2JboyKc Fuck off, do you know what it means now though?

[punkrocker2493]
