Russian Secrets for Six Pack Abs

Ever heard of Pavel Tsatsouline? Pavel’s a former physical training instructor for the Soviet Special Forces and he has been spreading the unique training methods of the USSR into the US since 1998. He’s written 15 books (mostly on strength training) and has worked with the US Marine Corps, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and the US Secret Service.

Luckily for us, he’s also written a book on abs training, titled Bullet-Proof Abs. With his publisher’s permission, I am thrilled to reproduce one of his best tricks: the scissor sit-up.

Scissor sit-up

Try an experiment. Sit in a chair with your hands on your knees and flex your abs as hard as possible. (Fig. 37)
