RE: Health Vlog #3: Why Sit-Ups are a Terrible Exercise!
Very informative and from my experience i can very much say that situps do fuck up your spine. Instead, i started performing planks and hanging leg raises where i had a better mind-muscle connection and could completely destroy my ab workout. Great content!
Thank you:)
The idea is that any exercise which puts the lower back into flexion (rounding) should be avoided as much as possible.
Even though the back is capable of flexion, the structures cannot handle a high frequency of this movement or under extreme loads. That's why the trunk is far more efficient at energy transfer when it is in neutral and stiff.
