I wasn’t bulking but my abs finally showed when i started doing deadlifts and suitcase carry. Core exercises is a must now in my program
surprisingly, yoga will help with abs too due to the core strength required.
Bro no way the Bulk King made this Video... We need a hero. Cant wait to watch this at home
👊
I need a HERO 🎶
Looking peeled! You've worked hard. The moon-sized delts on your frame have summoned the Fake Natty Police once again.
Thanks man. The delts cause quite the uproar.
Thank God I found this channel when I did. I wasted two years failing diets after diets trying to chase abs that I didn't even have. I felt myself going from well built and toned to small and flabby from constantly yo yo dieting. I'm over that now and am ready to bulk my way to more muscle and defined abs....the right way!
🤜🤛
I renamed the crunches movement as "shrimp" after your video, just to explain the others faster how crunches should be performed.
Although I'm 42, I don't disregard the youngsters' experience and advice.
👊🍤
I've been working out for 18 years and still watching for the intrigue
I like the que "shoulders to hips " when doing a crunch variation
This is the advice people need to hear and usually do, but unfortunately end up ignoring and paying for it later on, not just in cosmetics but also injury prevention.
Some ppl will not even see abs even at 5% bf., Maybe they will see 2D like thin paper abs(which doesn't count)
Abs are just like any other muscle,u train them to get that big 3D look.
This is so simple, yet ppl on the internet still don't get it
Did you see my recent short where the guy argued that everybody on earth can see abs at 10%?
@@REVIVALFitnessThese are the same PPL who think doing a 1 hr cardio will give them abs 😂😂
@@REVIVALFitness i was definately sub 10% bodyfat for sure at 6 feet at 102 pounds before i started the bulk but had no good visable abs, maybe a 2 pack at best but no visable abs, they are actually more visable now that im around 135 pounds and grew to 6 foot 1 since late sep last year
Yes, a majority of people don't realize you actually need lumbar flexion to train the abs to get the ROM. I see people who do rope cable crunches with their backs straight (essentially looking like a cable pullover) OR people doing leg raises on the captain's chair or hanging, all with their back completely straight/neutral. I used to correct people but as the gym culture evolved to don't-you- ever-approach-anyone, I stopped.
I used to get paid to essentially ‘cold approach’ people in the gym as a trainer. Now I just watch and enjoy the show. If someone is about to / did do something very dangerous, I might speak up.
Best fitness channel on the net next to Jason Blaha. Been lifting since I was 17, pushing 50 now. I learned from your channel more than in the past 20 years. Best of the best. BTW, I a bulked, and then I cut and now I see abs in my late 40’s I never had at 20!!!! Thanks for the priceless info. You should be getting million subs + not Greg (you know who!)
My home for brains and gains.
👊
It's bulking summer for me this year, big belly yeeah buudy!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Cable crunches are my preferred ab exercise. It’s so much easier to load weight.
☝
Just bought the Upper Lower novice program last night! Can’t wait to hook in to it! Best bloody fitness channel on stinking RUclips! ❤️
Enjoy the gains 🤜🤛
Yeah... It seems like I was doing ab exercises with trash form. Felt sit ups in my lower back & hip flexors, pretty much exactly as you described it.
I'll implement the "shrimp form" and try to do better, thanks!
☝️🍤
When I was a teen, my martial arts instructor showed me that exercise you are doing on the bench (the leg raises). But he added an extra move that really builds the muscle. After the raise/crunch to your stomach, you kick/thrust your feet up like you are kicking the ceiling. It really adds extra effort and difficulty and burns like a mother.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I started lifting 1 year ago primarily to lose weight. I was morbidly obese at 278 pounds and cut down to 146 in 9 months. After about 3 months of lifting my progress stalled and even reversed. I did a short 2 month bulk then cut again for 1 month and was at 143 pounds. I'm on my next bulk and can start to see abs at 149 pounds. I only do weighted core exercises and leg lifts aim between 10-15 reps for weighted exercises.
Thank you for this, Matthew! Have a great day today and a terrific weekend!
Likewise, my friend 👊
Absolute facts. Check out super heavy weight weightlifters who then turned to bodybuilding - their abs which were covered in fat now stick out like bricks! And they are not even in a single digit body fat.
When I left my home in LA to move to Wisconsin so my wife could be near her family, I went from a state where people have abs to a state where people have flabs. The average BF here has to be 40%-50% and I'm not exaggerating. These people are gross. I carry a barf bag with me when I go to the beach. You don't need to go to Alaska to see whales, we have about 5,000,000 of them in Wisconsin.
LOL. I hear you. That’s the case for basically anywhere that isn’t a central big city or its outskirts in the US.
on ab wheel try to keep as much cat round back as possible.. it is the best
the ab wheel on the feet is the best exercise for all abdominal muscles and one of the most difficult, even advanced lifters have burned abdominal muscles after a few sets for days
Bro submitted to ab anxiety
Had no choice
Abs-olutely
Bro the thumbnail was kinda sus ngl, How long! Looking DOWN! bruda you know what i am talking about
I didn’t even realize that. Lol.
@@REVIVALFitness haha
I'm married with kids. I stopped caring about visible abs years ago 😂. I just want look hench in clothes!! 💪
“Abs are made in the kitchen” - said only by people who have never had defined abs.
Or if they genetically lucked out with them
I'm at 20% plus bf, with love handles and fat and still have a clear visible six pack and veins everywhere, I'm around 82-83 kg and i want to lose exactly 10 kg for starters
Doing weighted pull up variations, OHP, & zercher squats I feel my core being worked really hard! And even though I am 185 and I would say at least 20 to 22% body fat I can see a visible 4 pack when I flex.
So I think if I lose like 20 or more lbs it would be there for sure!
Plus the main function of the abs is spinal flexion and if you do like deficit stiff leg deadlift that will definitely hit the main core of the abs since your back will be very rounded like a macondald arch. Which normally do that lift twice a week, sometimes once a week if my lower back don’t feel fully recovered.
Not many things that will work abs harder than zerchers bro 💪🏻
Static zercher holds or walks take it to the next level
@@StopTheDamnTape yeah agree. Everytime I do zercher squats my core is sore or gets more defined. You could argue it’s like a secondary mover rather than a stabilizer.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain
Machines work best for me. Firstly, I actually do abs when utilizing machines. And my hip flexors aren’t a limiting factor, my hips usually give out before my abs do. And body weight I had always struggled with the mind muscle connection. My abs have grown a lot quicker and fuller using crunch machines. I literally jumped on the machine as a joke and realized it worked good for me
I'm 6'1 currently at 21-22% BF and I still have a sweet 4 pack. Before I started training 2 years ago at 20% I had no abs and had to cut to 12% to really see them. Everything you mentioned is on point.
👊
look small in clothes and have abs or look big in clothes and actually look like you lift. choose 1
You can still look reasonably ‘big’ in clothes after some years good training and eating. But it takes a while, and the clothes need to be on the tighter side lol.
Why do you guys wear clothes?? I don’t train hard to look this good to cover it up, the 5-0 can fuk off with their indecent exposure bullshit, they’ll get cock slapped.
As a don key that is currently bulking I might need to say good bye to my abs brah soon.
Nice to see you, donkey
@@REVIVALFitness Thank you and I love you for getting me out of the gaslighting main gaining propoganda that Greg preaches. Don key King Bulking is going to be OP now 🫏 👑 💪.
Yeah, I don’t see why people view them as different than other muscles. They are my most genetically blessed feature so I always was a fan of working them.
💪🏼
I'm under 15% now with no visible abs. Feels bad man. But at least my arms are cut
You’ll get there
I’m just scared of getting ab cramps , happens every time I go intense on a ab workout.
I’ve had that happen too, even getting a lot of salt and water. I started taking taurine and they’ve largely disappeared. More potassium could help too.
How intense? How many sets and reps you do?😮
I will be 60yrs old in a couple of months and I have spent the better part of my entire adult life as shredded as my thumbnail. Genetics, incredibly fast metabolism and preternatural discipline has been the secret. I have a picture of me standing next to my first car shirtless. Skinny without a hint of abs. I didn't see abs until I had actually started hitting the gym and doing uh "ab work."
Good work 💪
Facts brother finally someone said I’m so scrawny and I have visible stations all over my chest and body and I don’t have any abs and I’m 105 lbs at 5’10 it genuinely annoys me hearing ‘ abs are made in the kitchen ‘
👊
Ab wheel and weighted leg raises >>>>
☝️
Looking shredded AF man!!!
Thank you 👊
At 17 years of age, I was 5’10 and 110lbs. No abs in sight.
I think you saw my recent "dirty bulk fallacy" short, but it was the perfect microcosm of how people don't understand this.
I'm getting skinnier in the summer because the heat makes me drink alot of liquids and eat less
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
shit, this video is me... recently started to eat like crazy (clean) as I've always had a hard time gaining weight and I'm seeing gains... also put on 14lbs in weight and my abs are actually more visible than than ever... honestly wish id found this before I tried all the main gaining stuff, I wasted 6 months and gave up because no progress... Still not shredded or anything as I'm a noob but for the first time I'm actually feeling good about my progress.
I've heard this hundreds of times
@@REVIVALFitness I can imagine. there's so much conflicting info out there it's hard to know what to do as a beginner. Anyway glad I've found your channel now even if I am 1 year late 😂
There are two categories of men - one that have been generally lighter or not done that much heavy lifting. And one that has generally been heavier or done much heavier lifting. The second category will find it easier to get abs and will see abs on their first cut generally. The first category will take several years to see them - UNLESS you do heavy direct ab training. 4 months of direct training gave me a visible 4 pack during a bulk while prior cuts had failed. So heavy ab training is goated and most men could get abs with it even in the 15-18% bodyfat range.
Nah I’m lean bulking through summer
💪🏼
I do knee raises and leg raises 3 times a week and have visible abs even in my 300kcal bulk.
Bulking into abs >>
I think abs is highly genetic. I have been training for just over a year now. I can see my top four abs even at 19-21% body fat. Never touched a single ab exercise in my life.
💪🏼

Many such cases
I committed to a bulk for 2 years after doing a photo shoot being super shredded.
Funnily enough I only lost visible abs by the end of my bulk after putting on 2 stone And my physique is a million times better now.
✅💪🏼
Not sure I agree with keeping your back rounded through the eccentric. I would argue that disengaging the lower back and allowing your hips to hyper extend while maintaining tension is the core would increase exercise efficacy
If you want to work more hip flexor, sure
@REVIVALFitness you said it your self; spinal flexion is one of the main functions of the core. By just holding a rounded back you essentially doing an isometric contraction instead of a full range of motion
After a couple years of doing weighted declined situps and hanging leg raises, I started competing in combat sports and lost 10 lbs. This combination did it for me. Your mileage may vary.
Do you guys punch each other in the abs while flexing like cool fitness influencers?
i luckaly have really good abs while getting lean, i train them always 2x a week with weight mostly cable rope crunches and hanging leg raises and yes same as you i still see them while 20% bodyfat only the upper 4 lol
I've gotten to the point where I no longer care about aesthetics and having abs anxiety. I pretty much eat at maintenance/tiny surplus all the time.
It lets you have higher testosterone levels, sleep much better, train a lot harder, recover better, and just feel better overall.
Ironically, you wind up having a lot more energy and overall NEAT. So you wind burning more cals by default helping to counterbalance. Overall life's better without the stress of cal deficits to see your abs slightly better.
I am very ready to return to that life.
@REVIVALFitness - I used to be a chronic overtrainer and cortisol junkie. Way too much frequency, intensity, and volume.
Plus, a ton of high intensity cardio and being in calorie deficits more often than maintenance/surplus. So more often than not I slept and felt like shit.
It's amazing how much healthier it feels doing full body 3x per week focusing on strength, walking and LISS cardio only, and eating as much as I should be.
Hey man love your content could you plese help me with something
I started working at 2023 september and made little to no progress and lost my shoulders as nowadays they feel even weaker

I would be interested to see a video on energy conservation from you. Head up, chest back…. Physics holds no matter how much Trumper you are.
Idk where you went with this comment, but I assume it’s about your faulty understanding of physics in relation to CICO. You’ll figure it out eventually. I’d recommend starting with Bart Kay’s videos on the topic.
@@REVIVALFitness ok i will look into Bart‘s videos for gods sake. But … i will be back! ;)
Thumbnail is me at 3 years old using a urinal for the first time. But fr, I have more abs at 25% than I did at 15 since I started treating my abs like any other muscle instead of a magical no effort prize for being lean.
Once you do GHD situps with rounded back and leg raises off bench with rounded back you never go back to any other kind of situp.

Love you taking on this cliche.
I'm a bit of a bloatlord 6'1 260ish right now, and my abs show when I'm doing any sort of standing exercise (deads and overheads in particular).
Sheesh. Do you eat out of a trough?
@@REVIVALFitness
No. I'm more dedicated to the bloat life than that. I use a constant conveyor belt
@@mrvanntabulous Big drink hat on at all times? Like the one Spongebob wore?
When I first started working out, abs were a high priority muscle that I'd train very regularly. A couple months into lifting I stopped training abs and they stopped being a priority. I find that being lean is more than enough to show decent abs as long as you do compounds. It's prob my least favorite muscle group to train. The feeling of burning abs mid-set is just a horrible feeling to me.
4 meals per day: 200g of🦐
Ab training form: 🍤
This is off topic but im sick, I have 0 apetite rn and I have to eat 2500 calories in less that 6 hours, I think I'll kill myself
You could just not eat today. You’ll live.
funny, i always did rounded decline sittups, while trying to get my back more upright because i was afraid it would hurt my lower back. guess i did them right after all
When I did my first serious cut at 5'8" to 150lb. I was lean but no real abs. I still had 400 plus dead lift, 300 squat and 250 bench around that weight, I just didn't directly train abs enough or long enough. I had just started direct training while cutting which obviously didn't do a whole lot.
I’ve dropped 30 lbs since January and I’m still waiting to see the bottom 2 abs 😢😢
It takes time
I first got abs at 31 during my first consistent year of training, but I slowly cut down from 185 and probably had the full six by like 165 ish. Cutting down is the answer for *some* but your BMI probably should be above like a 26 or so. Probably also genetically dependent, I find I don't need much direct ab training as there's been long stretches I've skipped it, though now I do it anyway.
Spot reduction & shrimp… sounds like summer 🍤😎
Do you even lift, bro?
No
@@REVIVALFitness lmao 🤣🤣🙄
summer bulk 2024
💪🏼
I personally stopped caring about abs tbh. I just want to be big and muscular. I mean, 99% of the time I'm with a shirt outside and inside my home, so i don't really need abs. Besides, having wings for lats beats the abs imho.
This is the practical aspect that a lot of guys seem to forget. How often is the average guy shirtless, really? I guess for some people who are very outdoorsy and on beaches often, it means much more.
Can you elaborate on why you’re doing dumbbell instead of regular barbell RDLs while cutting?
I discuss it in a coming video. But short version, less fatiguing.
Hey, could you make a video about jawline and makilng it more visible
Here: ruclips.net/video/atAEwSw3X48/видео.html
How much sets per week do you recommend for both lower and higher abs?
2-3 working sets for each movement twice a week
I got your U/L/A 5 Day Split like 1 year ago. You say it's for intermediates, which I was at that time but I've been very inconsistent and gave up training for a long period of time due to some particular reasons. I lost a lot of strength and a considerable amount of size. Will it be ''too much'' for me to start again jumping right into that program? I used to like it and progress very well with it.
You'll have to see how you respond to it, but since you've been there before, you'll be able to get back. You might benefit from easing in with less volume overall initially, or beginning with 3-4 days per week then working into 5.
The biggest key will be not getting caught up in ego trying to re-gain all you lost fast. You have to methodically work your way back up. But you will get there.
@@REVIVALFitness Thank you, brother!
Hey revival I was super lean but had no abs then trained them and now they’re crazy if you want the pics for example
I believe you 💪🏼
I am currently on bulk but still see some abs ..
💪🏼
I only got better abs after just committing to a bulk imo. Looking back at teenage pictures of me, with less body fat, vs now...revival is 100% spot on with this. It sucke yeah, but we need to bulk in to abs. It wouldnt be terrible for me, if I werent one of those weirdos that is pretty lean everywherw else, but my lower stomach, and lower back have weird shelves / rolls lmao......but hey....life sucks then you die?
LA Knight appearance made the video
They better do something with him soon… it’s becoming too late
@@REVIVALFitness I think he's winning MITB this year but maybe I'm just hoping
Weird question, but also being a hairy dude, what do you reckon is the best chest hair length that women find the most attractive?
That depends on the woman, but I’ve gotten many compliments when mine is grown in thick. If you want to show off the muscles more, you could do a moderate level guard on the razor.
Mmm shrimp..
what is your opinion on jacksfitness? (if u know who that is)
So which ab excercise puts the least stress on your lower back? Ive been having lower back oain recently since i started doing decline sit ups on the bench
Cable crunches and leg raises are the only 2 I ever do
what do you recommend for skinny fat fat (around %20 body fat with small muscles) people? I am one of them and i am trying to get lean around %13-14 body fat then bulk.
Hey. I can’t properly answer this in the comments without more context. If you join Patreon, we can direct message and cover things in full detail, including sending progress pictures. www.patreon.com/MKAngeletti or linked in my channel about page. Thank you.
I’ve been working on doing the decline sit-ups with the back rounded but at times still feel it in my hip flexors/thighs. Is a little of that normal?
Yeah, some of it is inevitable. Be sure to round ‘leading’ from the stomach. That’s where the movement should originate both ways.
@@REVIVALFitness thank you!
It took me years to realize that you need to actually get stronger to see abs
✅
Revival fitness what would you recomend for someone like me who cant do situps or cable curls for abbs cause it hurts my spine alote
1) I don’t recommend traditional sit ups
2) If your spine hurts on cable crunches (I think that’s what you mean), then your form is very bad, and/or your back is very weak. I can’t tell you over a comment. I’d have to see form videos.
@@REVIVALFitness oh i cant offer form videos unfortunantly but my back is just sensitive to pressure so i just rely on planks and compunds
Hanging ab exercises will help decompress your spine which should help with the pain
7:39
do you use any supplements like preworkout or creatine?
No preworkout or caffeine. I take creatine, taurine, L carnitine, and vitamin D.
What about turk 😉
If I bulked without training abs seriously and now I am cutting, do you think it's a good idea to train abs very intensely? Will noobie gains kick in or will I only be able to build them in a bulk
Honestly, I think u're just trying to avoid ab training. Like, training it even during your cut would only be beneficial anyways, wouldn't it?
so how do you get your abs to show at a higher bf%? just training your full body for multiple years and then cutting?
Yeah, works the same as any other muscle
What if I’m fat? Lol
Cut to a 'reasonable' body fat, then slowly bulk. Check out my other videos relating to these.
@@REVIVALFitness okay it’s just that I used to be lean with a little muscle the I stopped training for like 6 months and got fat
How much does your bench go down from peak bulk to peak cut? Do you try to keep it as high as possible or just let it drop?
I had this same question, I did hear him mention in another vid that because of the severe drop off of strength in pressing movements he’s moved mostly to machines on the cut as opposed to free weights
9:01 LMAOOOOO
💪🏼
I’m 5’10 170LBS I eat 3000 calories a day but I’m still struggling to gain weight, I thought my maintenance would be like 2600 but I guess I might be wrong… I have a fast metabolism so does that dictate this?
There’s a lot of factors that I talk about in my upcoming nutrition guide. But yeah, you’ll need more and may need to adjust what you’re eating rn.
It's possible you are overestimating how much you are eating
I naturally hang out at around 7-7.5% body fat. Measured by a doctor twice and by the military a few times.
How many guys are that thin, naturally do you think and will that affect my gains?
Week 2 noob here.
Used to be a runner.
Yes that will hurt your gains. Most guys will never reach that body fat ever in their life no matter how hard they try. You can make some noob gains for a little, but you have an extremely low growth ceiling at that point.
Its over
@@REVIVALFitness it’s crazy, I’ve done manual labor my entire life, grew up on a farm, but at 40yo I’m still 5’8” 135-140lbs.
Hoping to put on bulk, before old age hits me.
@@dman3526 The good news is that your chances of gaining much fat are basically zero. You likely will be able to eat amounts that calculators would predict make you obese after a number of months, and you'll still be on the leaner side.
@@REVIVALFitness Can you elaborate on that ? You saying that only because of the stats (5'8" and 140lbs) ?
