I just think it's one of them where after you'll feel boss but you haven't really done much. I do them in a mirror to make sure everything is straight but I don't get them.

Haha, no, I meant the patches
They give a more gradual release of caffeine. Caffeine is proven to work for anaerobic exercises (read about 6 studies). It's a bit strange really because it narrows your arteries AND increases heart rate. Puts pressure on you which is why you shouldn't have it before aerobic exercise. I'm just looking at whether you can obtain more structured benefits with it released over a slower period of time.
Seeing as a Canadian guy is the worlds foremost authority, and he'd slam those exercises, I'd stick with more current research. Plenty of stuff gets recommended by councils/ authorities, but that doesn't mean they're the best way forward.
The entire NFL were using outdated training practices, until a small gym in Ohio took a bastardised Soviet/ Bulgarian approach and created a hybrid routine that transformed how strength and conditioning was implemented in the league. An even smaller gym in NJ forced a rule change in the NFL combines because they're athletes were setting records.
If you want the best, most current training regimes, just find out what the top guys in the world are doing. You'll have some problem knowing what the Chinese are doing specifically, but as a rule you can find out what almost everyone is doing these days.
Legs without squats! Typical bodybuilder

Right so "some Canadian guy". OR "The best, and most common abdominal exercises were put to the test by researchers at the Biomechanics Lab at San Diego State University. The researchers wanted to compare the muscles activation and engagement in the most common abdominal exercises to find out if there are actually good and bad exercise for muscle building, and to learn if any of the ab equipment on the market does, in fact, work better than basic body weight exercises."
The top guys in the world are probably on ridiculous things, I trust research over their advice. I do do squats! And deads too, just didn't want to after the lack of sleep.
He's taking on the madd over weight training. Tut. He'll learn soon enough.

Yep some Canadian guy who has a PHD and is the worlds foremost authority on lower back rehabilitation, the guy the US send all of their NFL players to instead of San Diego State
. There are plenty of exercises that build amazing ab strength, but if they're at the cost of your longevity and disc health, what's the point? I'd rather take advice off a guy who's deadlifted a Grand, squatted a grand, and benched over six, than any research guy any day. You're also assuming these guys don't do their research, they typically read shed loads, but more importantly they practice.
If you get a coaching cert from any of the old Eastern block countries, you're studying at University working with lifters for five years.
San diego state has worked with Louie Simmons, the guy I was referring to from the little gym in Ohio, and even taken advice from him......

Take your tops off and have a push up off lads.

In one of the early West Side (Louie Simmons) videos sets, there are three one hour long seminars where Strength and conditioning coaches from several US universities are being taught the conjugated system. In the final video, Louie speaks blunt about how awful they were, which was apparent throughout the training seminars. He wasn't being an arse, he was just being blunt about it.
The reality was they realised how poor they were as well. Things have moved on thankfully, but it's dangerous to assume that the top coaches and lifters aren't at the forefront of what works.

Can you explain how a plank is better than doing bicycles then? I'm baffled.
Lol, I don't think we're taking each other on Chico, you stirrer you!
He's a young lad, reading new things, and trying to find out what's best.
I can assure you there are plenty of guys who've squatted a grand who never train abs directly. It's not about being better, it's about being safer and doing less damage on the discs.
Quote:
"Prominent spine researcher Dr. Stuart McGill has drawn attention to the potential pitfalls of crunches. He cites research conducted in his labs that showed significant compressive forces on the spine when crunching. Generally speaking, McGill is not a fan of exercises that puts one into prolonged or repeated lower back flexion (rounding)."
While the source article cites that if you have no present lower back problems, they are OK to do infrequently, the problem remains that they potentially cause stresses on the disc. The disc itself has a finite amount of wear that it can endure before it will eventually bulge or herniate.
There's a nice section on disc health in the Strength and Practice of Strength Training, which I'm sure is one of your core texts. I know it's used as a core text by several UK universities.
