LMAO, did they show Rahman doing crunches hanging from the ring on purpose? Maskaev seems to be pretty slow, btw. They both seem quite slow; I liked how Maskaev punched the bag -- I would not want to be in the place of this bag.

Oh you're right,those aren't crunches. That's the movement he's gonna try to use to pull himself back up into the ring when he gets knocked straight the fuck out of it.

Rahman at least has the correct posture and maybe his trainer's having him do some isolation crunches after a set of normal full range ones (the aren't shown on the video). I can buy that, but c'mon there're no excuses for that kid in the back. What trainer lets their fighter do crunches like that? He's clearly holding onto his head, tucking his chin, and pulling with his hand. He's cheating. Bad form any way you spell it.

it works different parts and specific parts, there are different ways to do crunches.

Don't you think he knows what he is doing? Seriously mate, he is a professional athlete, a true fighter, heavyweight champion of the world. How can you criticize his training methods?................. You mean a title holder :rolleyes:

I don't care what his credentials are. Watch that kid in the white shirt in the background and then tell me that's good form for crunches. No way in hell. The guy may be a great boxing trainer, but those crunches suck. Both the kid in the back and Rahman need to lower themselves down more to get a full range of motion.

Terrible, terrible crunches by Rahman and that guy in the background. Why do I still see boxers doing shitty 2" crunches? These guys are putting their lives and healths on the line and need their abs to be as strong as possible. What he is doing is akin to pench pressing but bringing the bar only 3-4 inches down, rather than all the way to the chest. Just terrible. Don't you think he knows what he is doing? Seriously mate, he is a professional athlete, a true fighter, heavyweight champion of the world. How can you criticize his training methods?
