Dan,

First of all, thank you for such a detailed answer to many of our 
questions. The descriptions were very informative and went well 
beyond the average standard answer. For inquisitive people like 
myself, you seem to anticipate the inevitable follow-up questions, 
like "yes, but why?" or "why do you say that?" or "yeah, but 
what 
about this guy or that person or this example?". So again I want to 

express my appreciation for taking the time to answer so carefully 
and I'm sure I speak for others.

On your discussions, just a couple more things:

Actually, I don't need any more proof myself, but I *would* like to 
have these references so I can show some of my loved ones hard 
evidence because I *know* they are going to demand it when I give 
them such shocking and seemingly far-out claims. You know, those who 
read all the magazines tend to believe they know what they're talking 
about. The media loves a good story.....



On abs:

What I think you are telling me is that the "crunch" is no good, but 

other floor stomach exercises can be good (is this correct?). What 
leaves me confused is this: regarding the "good" floor isolation 

exercises (bicycles, reverse crunch, etc.), can the shovelglove 
replace these altogether? In other words, if I concetrate on only the 
shovelglove routines, can I forget doing ALL of the lay-down ab 
motions and *still* get dramatic results in my abs? Or would I still 
need to supplement this with isolation training?
