[QUOTE="Slate, post: 5772, member: 854"] I beg to differ, Mr. Brainum. I have seen direct abdominal work recommended in coaching manuals from the former Soviet Union (both track and field and Olympic lifting) and also from the East German sports machine. The problem with making such a generic statement is that there were thousands of coaches and 100s of thousands of athletes, and many of these coaches jealously guarded their training protocols because they were their bread and butter. If they didn't produce, they found less and less resources coming their way, both personally and professionally. In my own experience as a competitive lifter and thrower, I found that neglecting "core" work decreased my stability significantly. I approach the core from a stability viewpoint, not a "visible abs" viewpoint, thus include things such and rotational twists and kettlebell get ups in my personal program. [/QUOTE]
