On the Swiss Ball
"Another dumb excersise is situps on a Swiss Ball. "New School" personal trainers claim that working on an unstable surface strengthens the "core" (core is a new buzz word on those come lately on the fitness scene). Swiss Ball situps aside from working lower back pose the danger of falling of the ball. You won't find any in my gym. Fads come and go, but those with great abs rely on traditional proven methods that have always worked. Call it "old school" if you must but it's worked for me and everyone with great abs I know."
For the "big eaters" out there his thoughts on bulking up
"If you want to get high definition and keep it for the rest of your life then DON'T BULK UP which entails gorging yourself with extra calories. Bulking up means to pack on a lot of body weight in a hurry. Is this productive or are you wasting your time? My advice base on my own experience is don't do it. Quality muscle takes time to develop-it's better to add not more then 5 lbs of solid muscle a year by training and eating right than to gain 30-40 lbs of surplus tissue, much of which is fat and water retention. When you train down and lose the excess bulk you will most likely find yourself in the same place where you started, a year later, a year wasted. You cannot improve your definition this way."
