Turkish get-ups are horrible:(

is there much different in doing crunches rather than situps? i think sit ups are wasted energy!

i am good ad situps i did sit ups for over 10 minutes :S whilst listening to a greenday song on american idiot :P and i did the plank for longest in my class... but that was a few months ago but i am sure i can build my stamina back up again

i did sit ups for 30 reps with 25kg dumbell on my chest

and no i have no abs covered by fat

Just dont ask me to do any press ups cuz u will get about 1-3 haha

full situps use hip flexors mostly, a common sign of poor form is lower back pain .......... from what i know, most forces dont relly on them too much these days except in basic training and you dont need to be able to do 000's.

to work up to full situps (military with legs supported) try doing leg raises and reverse knee ups............... both are contra indicated however

Thing is I manage 10-15 but its REALLY sore by the end, I really need to be knocking out 40-50+

I was thinking about doing them on a swiss ball for a while...

ones in army will be done with partner holding feet or tucked under wall bars, make sure good angle of legs-straighter=more dangerous.

agree with sam69 tho crunches/planketc better
