Sit ups

I have previously spent many years doing power lifting, which I have since moved away from for my training. However, due to my power lifting I have a lot of trouble with sit ups. My quads always severely overpowered my hip flexor, so the became almost useless.

I am trying to increase my sit up count, but need some accessory movements to activate my hip flexor more. I have a strong core, was able to stabilize 500+lbs on my back to squat, yet struggle to crack out more than 50 sit ups.

Saw your intro also. The best way is knock them out at your stage.
Best of luck and your stubbornness will help you.

Stubborn or too stupid to quit - either works.
