Natural Bodybuilders Agree: This Underrated Core Exercise Is the Secret to Finally Getting a Six-Pack
Natural Bodybuilders Agree: This Underrated Core Exercise Is the Secret to Finally Getting a Six-Pack originally appeared on Men's Fitness. Direct ab training sometimes gets a bad reputation. Some lifters argue that compound lifts already hit the core hard enough, while others swear by targeted exercises to make their six-pack finally pop. But in a recent Reddit thread, natural bodybuilders shared the one exercise for direct ab training that they think is superior: weighted decline situps. "Best ab exercises for long term progressive overload?" the original user asked in the post. "Been wanting to take my ab training more seriously but have been running into an issue regarding exercise selection. My issue comes down to the fact that a lot of ab exercises are difficult to add load and progressively overload over time." The overwhelming response everyone in the thread seemed to agree on was weighted decline situps, calling them an S-tier user shared a helpful progression. For beginners just starting with the exercise, do the exercise without a weight. For novice level, hold the weight to your chest. If you're at a more intermediate level, hold the weight with straight, vertical arms. More advanced variations can keep the weight held overhead or held in straight arms behind the body. Retired bodybuilder Jay Cutler has also sworn by decline situps for making your abs pop. "With the incline, you're allowing that stretch of the core and really get the contraction on your abs—the whole ab wall," Cutler said in a past video. Opt for higher repetitions. To do decline situps, lie on a decline bench with your feet secured, then engage your core to sit up until your torso is upright, and slowly lower back Bodybuilders Agree: This Underrated Core Exercise Is the Secret to Finally Getting a Six-Pack first appeared on Men's Fitness on Jun 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Men's Fitness on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Liam Hicks's RBI single
South Side boxing event aims to find cure for children's brain tumor It's just about time to get ready to rumble for a good cause on the city's South Side. Dan Letz is the owner and operator of Letz Box Chicago—a pugilistic palace in Mount Greenwood. For the last several months, he's been training a good-hearted, fleet-footed field of warriors who are fighting to help find a cure for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), which is a brain tumor that can develop in the brainstem. "It's horrific. It affects mainly children," Katie Gaskin said. "It's a tumor that grows within the brain stem, specifically in the ponds, and when a child is diagnosed with this, right now, they're really only given radiation as a treatment option and usually eight to 12 months to live." Gaskin's son, Anthony, was 7 years old when he died from DIPG, just 19 months after his diagnosis. In memory of Anthony, who Gaskin described as an old soul who loved the Chicago Cubs, she started the Anthony's Avengers DIPG Foundation. Letz and Gaskin have partnered to host an event on Friday, June 13 at Saint Rita of Cascia High School in benefit of Anthony's Avengers and their mission to find a cure. Starting at 7 p.m., the St. Rita Mustang's football field will be transformed into a boxing ring under the Friday night lights of a different sort. WGN's Pat Elwood brings you the story.

Pirates catcher Endy Rodriguez is going to get an injection for his ailing right elbow
CHICAGO — Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Endy Rodríguez is going to get a platelet-rich plasma injection for his ailing right elbow. Rodríguez got a second opinion from Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. '(The) recommendation was for a PRP injection that he'll get next week and then four weeks of complete rest before he starts to ramp back up,' Pirates manager Don Kelly said before Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. 'So unfortunately, it'll be a little while.' The 25-year-old Rodríguez, who also plays first base, was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 7 with elbow inflammation. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday. Rodríguez is batting .173 (9 for 52) in 18 games this season. He also was on the IL from April 15 to May 28 with a lacerated right index finger . ___ AP MLB:
