I dont start each rep quite from the floor. I have an 80Kg barbell at shin height, and lift it to midrift, by bending at the hips, while maintaining a striaght back.
Its a classic exercise, I just cant remember its name.
I then raise the weight to my shoulders, then press out.
Each of the three steps is to be done in an explosive manner (obviously with care on the first).
The idea is a stiff back for scrumaging.
Think what you're describing is a Romanian deadlift... I might give your method a try...

Here's my ab fun session:
10 toe touch
10 v sits
10 garden variety sit ups
20 back ext (making sure to lock only on back- using your glutes is cheating!)
1 min plank
20 leg ups (plank position knee to chest with minimal hip raise)
10 press up half burpees
10 sprint starts counting 1234
20 back plank leg raises
20 ab cycles as slow as you can go
Repeat x2 or 3 1min rest between sets.
Try and do the whole thing 2ce a day.Needs more back, but I tend to do quite alot of that elsewhere, but will probably rejig to incorporate.
Bit of an overkill yeah?

What the blumin hell. on to 81 dead today.
Confused as my weight is going up and down like a yo yo at the moment, can't seem to break that 80kg weight at the moment though. This is exactly the same as last week, hopefully next week will show some better improvements.
Next week lots of running planned. Hopefully that'll make some difference.

What i mean is, whats the point of doing that many different excersises for such a small muscle?

A small muscle? I don't think you're talking about the same thing, my friend.
First of all the abdominal muscles are made up of 4 separate muscle sheets converging into a single aponeurosis.
Rectus abdominis is the one that gives the 6 pack.
Then you have External, Internal Obliques, and finally Transversus abdominis.
On your back, you've got your Erector Epinae set, Quadratus Lumborum and Psoas Major.
These muscles, are anything but small- trust me I've cut them open.
Their aponeurosies are incredible strong and powerful, forming a vast amount of very important structures, not least the inguinal canal- through which- on a weakened muscle- you set yourself up for herniations.
As functional muscles, they could not be more important. Antagonistically they work to allow you to do anything you so wish to do. A poor support structure is a classic way of unevenly loading your back, during other exercise, causing a multitude of possible injuries.
Your core muscles- are called that because without them, you can't do shit.
And the fact that there are 4 separate on the front is why you do different exercises, to work all of them evenly, then work the back to even it out. -
Sure, but my point is that it is no different from any other muscle, so i dont see the point in doing all that, twice a day? There is just no point in working any single muscle/muscle group that much, but for some reason people tend to go overboard with abs for some reason like it is some magical muscle.

You may think its overworking, but I suggest you try it. Its really not that much of a workout.
Just covers all the muscles in turn. -
omega 3/6/9s,
Im not too familiar with the price of noxplode, but your total seems rather high for 5 weeks. Health span always seems to have the cheapest & best quality glucosamine, free delivery and there is always a discount code knocking around.
Also, the omega 6 & 9 are somewhat redundant. You dont need the 9 for anything, and you can get plenty in olive oil. In terms of omega 6, nearly everyone has an EXCESS as all our modern foods and fats are loaded with it, which is widely believed to be a cause of many health problems (the imbalance).
The main active ingredients in noxplode are caffiene and creatine. Both are cheap when bought seperately and it puts you in better control of when you need a stimulant, and how much creatine loading you actually want to do.
Not that im recommending so, but if you are trying to get lean and simultaneously improve your performance for bike riding. You could have just got some clenbuterol.
Its cheap, pretty safe. Everyone like your MMA fighters all take it.

it's the group of muscles which a normal grown up man has the most trouble with - belly likes fat, baby.
