Sit-Ups
Mon, 09/14/2009 - 00:40
I am doing sit-ups the recommended way as in the [[sit-ups]] wiki. I get this rubbing that creates a scab after a while on my tailbone. It hurts like hell.. anyone else get this? I am probably going to get an abmat very soon. Hopefully this helps.

Yep, I get the exact same thing.
Last time I thought I got it messing around at practice but this time I realize it was from the situps. Especially since it occurs from the chaffing off the ground, I don't think a towel will fix it. I think we just have to build up skin endurance there.
Also our form might possibly be off a little.

Ya mine went away a little but I heard that it never really completely goes away.
The Abmat helps ridiculously though because of its shape. I'll try to contact them some more so I can get a seller's discount. Have you received your rings yet Andy?

Yea got the rings, thanks.
I feel like having an abmat might dumb down the sit up, am I wrong on this? Using a towel helps relieve compression on the spine but it's small enough that you don't get any sort of aid in the sit-up motion. Somebody correct me here if I'm off base
My main point is that I think we're just going to have to get used to that tailbone scab thingy...or tuck something down our pants.

Andy,
AbMats are the shit!! they do not aid the sit-up at all but make the motion and your form flawless. You should try one out asap for the sit-ups.
P.s. everybody on the crossfit forums say that you have to just deal with the scabs.
Just use a towel instead of an abmat for now, works the same.
