Greg, you often put up "ab workout of your choice" on the workouts and I was wondering what ab workouts are thought of as the most popular and effective within the oly-lift community? Thanks in advance.

Greg -
I just think of ab work into utilitarian categories and try to hit everything regularly. You can break up static and dynamic; lateral flexion, flexion, rotation; trunk flexion, hip flexion, combo flexion; and then of course you can work with less resistance and more volume (or time), or more resistance and less volume.
I don't like excessive hip flexor work, but you definitely need some. So I like GHD sit-ups (primarily weighted), hanging leg raises/knees to elbows, roll-outs and the like, but balanced with things like planks of all variations, and yes, even the dreaded CRUNCH - with weight.
