Just a quick question folks, the book goes on a bit about crunches, but in any test, surely u won't do crunches but sittups, and crunches don't get the hip flexors which are the main muscle used in sittups and are important for tabbing, so if anyone could clear that up, cause i don't know whic exercise to be doing, been sticking with the sittups for now though.
Nothing worth doing is ever easy.
Combat Wombat. Though i'm not an expert, i know a thing or two about abdominal exercises.
Sit-ups are very back bad for your spine (and some say for your internal organs); but the army insists on doing them. By practising crunches, you get pretty much the same effect without the back pain. What i do is a few sets of crunches a night, then once a week do the max amount of situps i can do in two minutes (as this is the inital test they give you at Sandhurst).
I've just started the 'P-Company programme' (literally today), as i have para POC in a few months. Has anyone does this training regime? How does it fair? Does it give the desired effect?

Brilliant book but for someone starting there fitness from scratch I'd recommend the Commando Circuit Training book (can't remember the exact name but it's on the MFAT home page. I'd use Weales book more for creating a my own circuit. Oh yeah and the recipes were great
