Dammit Dave! Youtube won't let me watch the video, m8! It's pretty much the same exercise as the video Michael posted, except Pavel recommends starting from the top and lowering yourself as far as you can, and having whatever is pulling on your lower legs set behind the med-calf and pulling at 45 degrees from the horizontal.

For me: -Various pulls( low position deadlift, hack lift with bar between legs) -Front squats -Overhead squats(arms straight, pushing with the legs)
All done with sierra strap and a bar The top position of these exercises (quarter position, esentially making it partials/heavy supports) is specially brutal for the whole body, your abs will be worked hard.

Due to benbergman84's unbelievable honesty, I intuitively know that his physical abilities are only exceeded by an un-named and un-known, but world renowned fitness guru!

Pushups and squats work the abs. Sit backs are better than sit ups.

Chins/ pull-ups, especially with legs extended, and focusing on the eccentric movement, really work the core.

Pushups and squats work the abs. Sit backs are better than sit ups. TBH, IMO, this is wacko. Wrong way to do cardio. I feel it necessary to say some words of discouragement for anyone considering doing 20 minutes of cardio/aerobic work like that for the midsection. I wouldn't want to think that someone would copy this, hurt themselves and I'd feel bad for not saying something. Swim, walk/carries, jog, run, bike - something else - for cardio/aerobic exercise. For strength, I'd do midsection exercise that creates plenty of tension without all the ballistic reps. If I was him, I'd weight or band-anchor my legs, raise my legs and hold them up while I hang or do a slow pull up until I'm done or they fall. Saves time too. Legs can be raised and held in the same vectors as he's doing to hit obliques, etc. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

I'm not convinced that any exercises work the abs particularly well unless you actually engage the ab muscles. All to easy to let other muscles take the strain. Particularly, I think any non-core specific exercises like overhead lifts, squats etc really don't do anything for the abs unless you actually engage them.

Boxers have been doing that kind of stuff forever. I agree I'd rather use tension than ballistic reps. Good points Mozietoes.

Boxers have been doing that kind of stuff forever. .... I know that fighters do aerobic and cardio, but when you say "that kind" of exercise, are you saying that boxers commonly do those specific, midsection, joint taxing, spinal straining, high rep exercises, in that banging manner? It has me curious now. I wonder if Ross has any info applicable to what is shown in that video. You're right, though, in thinking that I'm not a fight trainer and have no clue what I'm talking about. It was just my thought. Plus, I'm more familiar with MMA than with boxing, but even so, I have never paid much attention to whether the MMA fighters do those specific exercises, exactly like that or not. I'm not paid to fight professionally, so I don't consider training like a competitor. I assumed, but don't know, that the Stay Puft Marshmallow Gut guy, who appears around 1 minute in, really was his trainer tho(?), cuz I kept the sound off and skipped through from exercise to exercise while I listened to the Temptations. He doesn't have the appearance of a trainer I would listen to about ab training. I had to skip through, using the slider preview, because I was getting a raging backache just watching him!

My ab routine is done sitting down on the toilet squeezing out a log.

The average person who tried the stuff in the Golovkin video would soon find themselves flailing around, it's obviously easier for a world-class middleweight to move quickly while maintaining control.
The usual school of thought is that explosive training requires low reps, sets of 3 or less. Boxing is a little unusual in that it requires dozens of explosive movements per round. If you just want bigger or stronger abs, I don't think there's any need to do what boxers do.
