Crazy ab scissor twist

I am not sure if there is an "official" name for this ab workout but I call it the crazy ab scissor twist or "scissor twist" for short. It is the only ab workout that can get me consistently sore and targets my mid abs the most with some impact to the sides. It requires some pretty good upper body strength just to hold you in place. I like to squeeze my abdominal's while I am doing the exercise for an extra burn. I do it mostly for fun because I don't know how effective it really is as an ab workout but it looks cool and it takes some conditioning to build up to it.

I have never hurt or felt any pain in my back at all. I was doing these again only 1.5 months after a hernia operation. The hernia was from something I had since birth in case anyone thinks I got it from this.

If you have the arm and back strength to hold yourself up I recommend anyone to try this. It really does burn.

So I thought I would add a few comments. Doing it fast or slow are hard in different ways. I can do this very slow even easier but fast is harder. I am swing my legs so fast that my muscles get a burn just by trying to slow them down and reverse direction. If you were doing standing twists with a bar would you really want to go slow??? It is the momentum and slowing down that gives me the real workout.

@Andysbat Andy, your spot on m8 !!! Someones gonna crack their spine doing it like this guy.

@ewa8949 they're called fucking TIC -TOCS you baboon. and it hits the obliques mostly. also you could get way better results if you slowed the fuck down and didn't have your legs go past 90. DON'T SAY THIS IS LIKE TWISTS. clearly you're lost if you think so. twists there is no gravity involved, these work because you have to use your core to change the momentum and work against gravity. go fast if you want but stop at ninety. you'd use your abs to slow down not your fucking spine.

This is the best way to destroy your back I have ever seen.

I have always known those as windshield wipers but for real man it may not hurt right away but SLOW DOWN! Remember working out is like weed quality is better than quantity. I do these and can guarantee it will be more beneficial if you slow down and stop using your momentum, its cheating any way!
