    100% facts. I only got my abs in my 30’s when I went into full compound lifts mode, squats, deadlifts, military press, weighed pull ups. Once I built up my core, then I went into cutting and lo behold, I got the 6 pack . In my 40’s, been bulking for a year, lifting heavy and I lost the abs, but I will get them in no time once I start cutting again. Your info is dead on!

    You NEED to train abs to get them to even show, compounds like squat deadlift are not enough to get visible abs, the abs are exactly like any other muscle, it needs to contract and shorten with mechanical tension to grow, it's the same analogy as trying to get big biceps by doing only back work and no biceps isolation work, your biceps will grow but not much and you won't be satisfied with the results. Nowadays almost all fitness influencers say they never train abs meanwhile they have a clear 6 pack, they are either genetically blessed and they do not store most of their fat on the abdominal area, this is why you see some skinny guys having abs while skinny and others that are also very low body fat and abs seem to not show, the muscle will push through the skin and will be more visible, however if you do not train them the only ways to get visible abs is by being lucky and never need to train them or doing isolation ab work. Some people even lie they never train them because they dont want competition, abs are one of the most important muscles if you want to look attractive/aesthetic, abs will make or break your physique.

    Thank you, you’re killing it on actual real information. This channel deserves a massive following. Been telling people this shit for years, people think I diet hard af because my abs are always visible, I just train them hard. I do 2 days with weight and 2 days without, which are more of the movements you demonstrated.The way I got my abs built mainly was getting on a decline bench, hold a plate straight above my face and do crunches and at the top position the plate is a bit over my head, now when I bulk to about 20% bf I still have ab cuts, and another I do is what got my v cut built. I get on a dip bar, top position and I push my hips up and back like I’m hiking my ass up, it hits my serratus too, controlled movement and keep core in and tight. It’s more of an intermediate to advanced movement but it’s done a lot for me. Abs and leg crew, gang gang

    For adding weight to leg raises, try using a weight belt with the big bumper plates so that the weight sits on your knees. I discovered it a few weeks ago and have been loving it. The beauty of this method is that weight can be incrementally added so traditional progressive overload can occur.
    Also, decline situps holding a plate or dumbells. I'm up to sets of 15 with a 20kg dumbell right now, my goal is a set of 12 with 35kg by the end of the year.

      Keep in mind, I'm not holding extra water weight either, as I don't take creatine (I'm a non-responder, I gave it a shot about a month in and it just made me feel icky) so those couple of kilograms are almost exclusively muscle.

    I wish I would have had your advise when I started my serious lifting journey 5 months ago. During the summer of 2021 I was a frail 150lbs at 6’1. Unfortunately I wasted the first two months of lifting thanks to to G-shreds maingaining bs which led me to believe that bulking would only make me fat. During this time I got little to no little progress in the gym. I have now realized that in order to make some epic noobie gains, you can’t be afraid to put on a little chub. I’m now committed to a proper 3500kcal bulk combined with your full body novice program. I’ve now successfully entered the barbell supremacist phase and I’m currently making the biggest gains of my life. I’m currently at 175lbs, still pretty lean! Thank you so much!

    Couldn't agree more with the adding weight and taking sets to failure. What got my abs growing was training them with extra weight and doing full range of motion; mainly cable crunches and weighted leg raises. I detest all the isometric "core stability" exercises like planks as well as super high rep ab work that sucks to do and is hard to take to true muscular failure.

    • @REVIVALFitness
      @REVIVALFitness  2 года назад +4

      Isometrics are invaluable for your core, as your core needs to both know how to move, and how to stay still. Of course however, you're right, they won't take you to muscular failure very often, especially when you're already good at them and most people couldn't care less about progressing their isometrics.

    Important thing is don't mistake the abs and core. You can have amazing core strength and no abs! Abs as in visible six pack take direct progressive training, no amount of dead lifts will give you a six pack, cause frankly, that's literally opposite a dead lift forces your abs to do, it get's em strong in the isometric contraction as you brace, not strong thru range of motion.

      Variation my bro, use a handful of different exercises. Boat hold, crucifix, star crunches, reach ups, mountain climbers, etc.
      Your core has a lot of muscles of different size, but it only has two jobs - to move your legs while hanging or laying, and to move your hips closer to your ribs. You don't necessarily need to use weights to overload them either, abs respond very, very well to high and medium rep training, as well as isometrics.

    As a calisthenics bro, your feet to bar clip was absolutely the funniest shit I've ever seen hahahah
    I agree entirely with this whole video, especially describing the hip requirement. The fsct is that your core is responsible not only for stability (planks), but also for all the movements relating to hips-to-ribs (star crunches, reach ups, etc). This is why Russian twists are such a form reliant exercise, because if you're keeping your upper torso stationary, you're really only going to work the hip flexor muscles, which ofc is very good, but there's better exercises for those muscles.
    The core is a super underrated muscle group and if you train hard on your core with a varied set of exercises (which you need, the core shouldn't be isolated), you'll strengthen your lower back, your abs, your hip flexors, your deeper abdominals (the barrel shaped muscle that holds your organs in place). For me personally, ab training helped my posture dramatically too, the strength from my core took tonnes of pressure off my lower back.

    Excellent video. Truly phenomenal work. Thanks! 🙏
    I approach abs like any other muscle. Do full range of motion focusing on contraction of the abs through spinal flexion and the big stretch. Pick 2-4 exercises that focus on spinal flexion for hypertrophy and rotation and anti-rotation as well as isometric contraction if you want more carryover to some sport or the compound movements. Train them 2-4 times per week and pick exercises that can be progressively overloaded and do somewhere between 2-4 sets of 10-30 reps for each exercise and 6-10 weekly sets. The video is very well made and structured in an orderly manner and everything was explained quite comprehensively and perfectly. Marvellous work. Highly appreciate it. It’s very valuable. 💪

    One thing about cutting not potentially being the answer, it absolutely will be for most people watching this IF they do it correctly. Meaning if they weight train appropriately while cutting, the abs almost surely will be there once lean enough. They will gain an appreciable amount of muscle even in a deficit, and the ones who wouldn’t should already have enough muscle to start with for visible abs once lean.

    I hate when body builders tell the general population to not train their abs because of how they idealize a small petite waist and never had to train their abs because of genetics and having a low body fat %. Breathing and bracing is simply not enough and anyone who says training your abs and obliques will just make look blocky probably has a weak core relative to the strength of the rest of their body. Like seriously imagine looking at a well built guy with a low body fat % and he has no visble definition in his core, idk about other people but i would seriously doubt his strength and athletic ability.

      I will say that I have pretty good biceps despite not doing curls for most of my training (15” arms). Trust me, your biceps definitely get a nice pump after rows and pull ups / chin ups as well as any other rowing or pulling exercise. Agreed about needing more than benching for the triceps however. Most people have a tricep weakness from lack of tricep work.

      @@JoeyCentral depending on your leverages, you may or may not need to isolate triceps as much as you think. In my case, I’m short, 5’6-5’7, but I have long ass gorilla arms, so my elbows go below parallel with the ground on a bench press and it has a long stretch every rep, so all my triceps really need is bench work, maybe some overhead cable extensions here and there. Biceps are a different story though lol

    I've always got abs gains from unexpected exercises I tried out of curiosity. Wood cutter, goblet squats with 150 pounders, chin-ups with legs raised, tons of vacuums, windmills... I really feel uncomfortable when I add weight to leg raises and sit-ups. So instead I sometimes use tight & elastic belt as resistance, I feel it does a number with final contraction. Not sure about local fat thing but at 13-14% bf I can revive my abs within a week or so when I want but without a week of training it devolves back to 2 pack from 6 :P
