There are different ways to hit those muscles that don't involve a risk of slipping and smacking your head on the concrete.

@Adam Basile Woodrow, Why do you own one of these things? The fuck is it even for? It looks like something Nick Rekieta would stap himself into while on a hard drug bender, then let the Jamaican boys go to town on him.

It's a pretty large piece of training equipment, which I personally wouldn't buy because it would eventually take up space. When I do upside-down sit-ups, I do them outside. The only problem I have is that I'll have to get some gravity boots sooner or later; stabilizing on the bar is pretty annoying.

Yeah man I have to agree with @close you'll bust your head open. If you like spicing up your workouts I'd recommend finding a gym in the black part of your city. If you don’t want to pay for some ghetto gym membership then just find a nice ally frequented by the homeless to workout in.

Tell me one gay thing about doing squats naked in front of the mirror while my buddy who is also naked spots me as I am covered in body oil.

That's roman alpha shit.

It’s only gay if you forget to put your squat plug in and your buddy decides to improvise
 
Bois, send me your power.
I have a grappling super fight this week, and we are ready to rumble. Submission only, one match, on stage, and I'll be grappling in the gi. My opponent is a late-thirties blue belt who apparently wrestled a lot in the past, but I'm not worried because he's a Gracie guy and they don't comprehend the leg game in a jacket at that level, I am versed in Judo, and because all slams and submissions (except heelhooks) are totally legal I can neck/face crank and toehold and hip wrench and fuckslam this dude to oblivion.
Either way, I'll put up a good fight and it'll be a good time.

Are you going to rape him to further assert your dominance?

Sit ups are gay in general and seemed to have been massively de-emphasized in recent decades. The US Army stopped doing sit-ups and crunches due to lower back injuries. Sit-ups lack intensity, range of motion, and trying to do them upside down is a cope. The army moved to planks, but honestly I don't like doing planks they seem kinda gay.

If you want to hit your abs with calisthenics, from easiest to hardest:
Hollow Body Hold (you can make this quite intense if you start flutter kicking)
Leg Raises (laying, captain's chair, hanging, ring support hold) to L-Sit
Dragon Flags
 
I was away for a week on business with no gym access, picked up a virus on the way back. Constantly coughing, worn out, and my resting heart rate is through the roof. My gym bag is packed and ready to go and it's killing me waiting to recover :(

The good news is in that the old days I would have tried to carry on as normal and just felt like shit for longer, whilst my brain these days tells me to get as much rest and fluid as possible so I can start punishing my body again.

As long as your not running a fever it's fine to workout. You may not hit new bests but it's not going to hurt you or anything.

Not when my resting heart rate was 90. I ain't putting it under more strain. Although I'm going tomorrow even if it kills me. I miss it :(

Well, yeah, that’s what the liquor is for! The statin is just so all the Austrian wombat semen dude is injecting into his scrotum on the daily in his PED use has the risks removed.
 
i recently aquired a bowflex power pro for 50 cents, so i am creating a workout regimen that is based around that. it has a really good exercise guide. however its muscles diagram is lacking. can anyone help me figure out what this muscle is called? the red diamond shaped one in the lower back.

I could see the back injury thing with sit ups, I currently hold a dumbbell atop my head while doing sit ups, and if I let my form slip, there's a bit of a "whoa buddy calm down" kinda pre-pain in my lower back. My guess is that it's the same as any exercise: if you maintain good form, you will not get injured.
