[Kid Achilles]

Terrible, terrible crunches by Rahman and that guy in the background. Why do I still see boxers doing ****ty 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?

Because he is an internet warrior....thats why

couldnt have said it any better myself.

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.

.................

You mean a title holder

[2OSouzaSuarez12]

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

[Kid Achilles]

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.
