This is my favorite song of all time (don't ask me why, it just is):

My vert is about ~24 right now, off both 1 and 2 feet.

recommendation: do heavy core work on lifting days, after main lifts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KZEGhqMOxA

It looks to me like you're doing hip flexion there. For the abs to do the work, you should "fold yourself" like a blanket, vertebrae by vertebrae, not with a stiff back.

This is similar to doing hyperextensions on the 45 degree hyperextensions machine: if you have a stiff back, you're actually doing hip extension work. If you fold yourself and have the bads at the belly area, you're doing back work.

Furthermore, I think there's some danger in using that machine, since the feet anchoring activates the psoas which can twist the spine (especially considering that the psoas is a hip flexor and you're doing hip flexor work).

So... this is just what I have observed. I think you'd be better off in pressing your lowerback on the floor, having the feet elevated on a bench, and doing weighed crunches with a plate being held over your head, with your arms extended upwards.

What about heavy overhead squats, full ROM?

He looked at the ground, though, just like me and scooby naturally do. I guess a sign of quad dominance.

Haha, nice find.
