Here's the catch. Tyler is a strength guy but he actually has ABS. I'm
the first to admit that personally I try to stay lean, but I do not have
ripped 6-pack abs so if that is your goal I defer to Tyler.

Okay now on to the article of the day....
You're Using the Wrong Ab Muscles!
There is a very good chance that you're wasting your
time using worthless
ineffective exercises. Even worse, these exercises can inure you in the
process!
I'm talking about poorly designed ab training.
You see most people don't have any idea how to train their abs. In
fact did you know that 99% of people are targeting the wrong ab
muscles when they workout? Let me explain...
The muscles that everyone knows about and wants to have on the
beach are what's called the rectus abdominus muscles. Exercises
like sit-ups and crunches target specifically these muscles.
The problem with traditional ab workouts isn't that they don't
effect the rectus abdominus because they in fact do.
Many years ago when I set out on my own journey to shrink my
waist and reveal my 6 pack I fell for the myth that 1,000 crunches
was all you had to do, and let me tell you, the first few times I
performed this routine I was sore as can be. But I didn't see
any results from it :(
As I later found out, the problem wasn't that my muscles
weren't being worked, the problem was that I was working
the wrong muscles!
Wrong Muscles? What the heck are you supposed to do about that?
There is a group of muscles buried deep within your core that
surround your midsection much like a corset whose sole responsibility
is to stabilize the spine and core during phases of movement.
The reason why these muscles are so important is because they are
essentially the ones the give your stomach the flat appearance you
desire. If these muscles aren't active, you'll never have the flat belly
you desire no matter how many crunches you do.
Think about it like this, you probably know someone who has a
relatively low body fat percentage but seems to still have that little
beer gut or pouch belly even if they don't drink beer or are constantly
spending hours in the gym, right?
The reason for this is because they are NOT able to activate their
deep abdominal muscles. When these muscles are turned off, you'll
be left with a protruding gut no matter how lean you get.
How can you target these deep abdominal muscles that will rapidly
flatten and tone your midsection?
The best way to target these deep core muscles and quickly tone
your midsection is to use exercises that cause your core to fire as
a stabilizer rather than a mover.
One simple exercise that you can do is an elbow plank on a swiss
ball. When you do this, you'll instantly feel all of your deep
abdominal muscles work hard to support your body in the plank
and keep your spine protected.
How about another exercise?
Alternating lying leg raises when done properly with what's called
braced abs are a great way to work your deep abdominal muscles!
Just lie down on your back with your legs together and feet
towards the sky. Keep your lower back glued to the ground
while you lower one leg slowly toward the ground and then alternate.
This exercise will help correct any unilateral imbalance in your
deep core muscles.
While these are great exercises for developing your deep core
muscles, I wanted to also share with you a new ab training method
that's making even these result producing exercises obsolete.
It's an ab training technique called a Core Activation Sequence .
The reality is if you want to have the greatest chances at activating
your deep core muscle while slimming your waistline and developing
toned or even 6 pack abs, this is the way to go!
