..only poorly executed form. I can really only think of one exercise I would consider bad dangerous in any form.
The Russian twist. The spine is not meant to twist in that fashion. I think even one legged bossu ball idiot has some kind of value, just not for me.
What say you?

There is a different between bad and dangerous. Many exercises are dangerous, but not necessarily bad. Those two things are not one in the same

Nope - only bad people doing them.

Very true. Like behind the neck press. I feel better doing those then regular press to the front. But most would have you believe youll rip your shoulders out of the sockets doing them.

On some movements, the reward of going heavy just isn't worth the risk. You can get decent results staying relatively light on behind-the-neck presses for a change of pace if you pair them w heavy "safer" movements.

I disagree, crunches are worse than russian twists. In any type of rotation exercise you stabilize the lumbar and rotate the shoulder girdle. You have about a 13 degree rotation between the lumbar and thoracic spine anything beyond that could be cause for injury.

So how do you train abs then? since all ab exercises involve some form of a crunch

Your Mom's a bad exercise.

depends on how you're build and how big you are
.. when i was smaller i could do behind the neck presses all day
soon as i got big these had to go.

Unfortunately in bodybuilding some sort of "crunch" is a necessary evil. But to avoid further injury, I'd rather do a hanging leg raise or roman chair or even a bicycle movement would be fine. I rarely if ever do crunches with my athletes.
