    You also have to keep in mind alot of people that are in decent shape are actually flexing their abs while their shirt is off. You can train yourself to keep your stomach a bit tight while breathing at the same time.

    Totally agree. I work on my low abs/obliques by laying on my couch without the back pillows. I hold the structure and position my butt on the edge, so my pelvis can tilt and stretch my abs, then they are still under tension when I flex.
    Same thing for the obliques but being on one glute.

      @well.thy.one. 2 года назад

      @Mindset Fitness yea you can get creative with them. Can do feet/knee anchored sit ups or a more rolling style, bringing your legs up in the air, but still pulling the band from behind you. Also great strapped to your feet for leg raises or pulling knees up toward the chest, either lying on the floor or with a more roman chair style set up. Just use something like a strong stair railing post or couch leg to wrap it around....i like them far better than any kind of free weight for adding resistance to ab work as i really seem to be able to get all the stress on my abs.

    you need to put mass on before you get into high reps. I did hundreds of crunches daily in high school, but it wasn't until I started DLs, pull ups, and squatting that I started to pop. I do weighted crunches 2 times a week now, 4 sets of 20-30. This aided a bit in getting hardness/definition, but not mass. I could cut them out, keep pull ups, squats, dls and still have a great 6 pack. I will admit to marginal aesthetic improvement, but when when I was doing crunches with bis and tris in H.S. nada.

    This title is great for getting views but no exercise will make your abs stand out like bricks. Lol.
    We all already have abs they are just covered by layers of fat. The fat is removed by mostly diet and cardio. Ab exercises are important to strengthen the stomach muscles but are only the 3rd most important thing on the list to get a 6 pack.
    If you had to take a class in getting a 6 pack your diet would be 70% of your grade or more...cardio would be 20%, and ab exercises like crunches, bicycles, and leg raises would be 10%.
    I am being generous too...diet might be even 80% of the battle. Genetics play a role too. It's easier for some people.

      @Derek Gabrys This is the truth that most people don’t know and others don’t want to admit. With diet alone, a thin person can get their abs to show.
      I had always been thin growing up and only weighed 140 when I graduated from HS. I worked out often and had a six-pack if I flexed but a flat stomach without flexing. I had finally started “eating clean,” fasting, and completely avoiding all processed foods when my six-pack began to show without flexing. Number one ingredient is diet; no ifs ands or buts about it.

Yes compound will give you decent stability in the abs but what about vacuums for aesthetic shape and working the transverse abs, referring to our natural “weight belt”. What about definition exercises like mentioned in the video, lower leg lifts and lumbar crunchs stimulate the abs differently and ultimately INCREASE your overall strength for compound lifts b/c you abs can handle more in various positions.we didn’t even mention the transverse plane either, rotational work for the obliques.
