The Ab Triad: Dr Clay’s infamous abdominal superset
At some point, all of my personal clients learn about my (now infamous) Ab Triad. People have a love/hate relationship with this superset of three ab exercises - they love it because it works to build killer abs; yet people hate it because it’s TOUGH!
If you’re ready to get a killer ab workout, then give my Ab Triad a whirl. I’m sure you’ll love/hate it as well!
1) The first exercise is the V-up done on the
ground. 
The V-up works both the upper and lower abdominal regions very well. For this reason, it’s tough! And that’s precisely why I put it first in this ab triple superset.
2) Next up is the Reverse Crunch.
This exercise targets the lower abdominals which are weak in most people. Since the reverse crunch is harder than regular crunches, but not as hard as V-ups, it comes 2nd.
3) You’ll finish the Ab Triad with regular Crunches. 
Crunches target the upper abdominals and are typcially fairly easy to do. They won’t be so easy after doing the other two exercises - trust me!
Sets and Reps
Do as many reps as possible* of each exercise back-to-back with no rest. After completing one set or round of the Ab Triad, rest about 45 seconds and repeat two more times.
*If you can do 20 or more slow and controlled reps of each exercise, then you’re a stud - so considering using a medicine ball to add resistance. You can hold the ball with your hands or between your feet (as you’ll need to do on reverse crunches).
Train hard and expect success!
