Abdominal training = calorie burning during pre-contest prep

[dr intensity]

hi guys,
i was wondering about using abdominal training as a Calorie burner, during Pre-Contest, when i was in middle school, i remember i could do somewhat 500-750 crunches in an hour or so.

So any one of you have used it in place of the BORING TREADMILL?

Assuming the fact that "ONE Crunch" would certainly use more than one Calorie so if i do 500 crunches/every day, I would be burning 500+ Calories/session and burning 500 calories on a treadmill is ONE HARDCORE CARDIO/session work.

I HAVE NOT TRAINED ABS FOR LIKE 8-10 YEARS, CARDIO ON TREADMILL used to get the job done and during the contest time, abs were just fine. So this Idea never struck me....(i am pretty dumb...lol)

whats your take on it. In terms of effectiveness on Calorie burning during Pre-Contest.

would appreciate your input guys

Honestly bro, I did a few searches for you and can't find it now- but I swear I read a post by Serge (on ironage or maybe even getbig) - himself claiming he did abs for an hour or so and it was his "cardio" too.

I don't believe a lot of these genetic freaks though- he ate 5 lbs of horse meat a day blah blah blah...

Just do what works for you- watch the mirror and see how your pants fit.

EDIT: I think this is the "Serge" thread I saw his crazy abs routine in- I'm still searching- not that it will help you, just for my curiousity at this point LOL

at the bottom of page 18 he talks about doing abs continuously for an hour...

yeah but typing long posts also burns calories, maybe 1 calorie per sentence lol. as the other guy said it worked for serge, but imo there are better options for cardio. i dont know if with crunches you could go high enough with your heart beat. in all other cardio types you have the legs involved. the biggest muscle in the body thus the body metabolism increase/calorie burning will be greater. and cardio is not just for fat burning, it is also for heart health, you need to get the pusle up and keep it there for some time.

over training your core much , sounds pretty silly to me

I would worry about all that spinal flexion leading to back problems...the spine isn't really supposed to move under load, and doing that many reps over time just sounds like a recipe for injury.

Try it though....if it doesn't hurt, you might just be on to something!
