Does /fit/ actually work out their abs or just leave it for a cut to sort out? Do you just let your core lifts handle it? Do you specifically do crunches etc?

>doing crunches
never gonna make it brah

I just tack it on at the second half of arm day. Used to not do it all, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to put in some effort.
Weighted situps
Got to 45lbs for 3x20 couples days back but now i don't know where to put the weight on my torso or how.
How long, roughly, does it take to get from 1-2 if you're doing everything right? What about getting from 1-6?
>2016
>not cycling for abs
confirmed for not making it
weighted ab roll outs ftw
>>35526523
No body hair anywhere but in the armspits looks terrible.
Leg raises hanging from a bar, raise foots to the bar. It's also very good for the lats.
Dont believe the meme, OP.
Do planks (oblique included) and some crunches.
I'm not an exemple, since i barely squatted at the gym, but i lacked core muscles for falling for the meme.
I don't specifically train abs. I've always had a fair amount of ab development, so all I need to do is cut a little harder to get the definition I want.

Standing cable crunches are nice to do senpai
3 days a week i do abs after my workout when im at home
>stomach vacuums
>leg raises
>planks
>side plank contractions
thats it desu senpai
>>35526523
If you're already a decent athlete (practice sports reguarly, can do heavy lifts beltless) chances are your core is already strong and planks and crunches won't really make a big difference. All you have to do is cut.

p-pls respond, /fit/
Currently I look like the guy in one, maybe a little pudgier. I'm 2 months into SL 5x5 and making steady progress. I also eat pretty well and do HIIT twice a week. If I keep this up, how long until I make it?
>>35526849
If you really go for it and stick to it, you can do it in about three years if you're aiming for 6. If you just want to get to 2, you literally need to lose weight for half a year.
>>35526898
Six months, eh? That's pretty heartening, thanks!
>>35526941
(not that I plan to stop at 2, but I think at 2 one begins to look like a semi-respectable human being)
I do one ab exercise at the end of 4 of my 5 workouts. Dragon flag holds, weighted crunch, L sit, Russian twist.
>>35527040
Which ab do you exercise then? the one on the left on the bottom row or the right one on the top row?
>>35526523
Here is what I do
>toes to the bar 3xF
>ab roller/wheel thingy 3xF
>weighted sit-ups 3xF
>hanging leg raises from side to side
All I got from abs exercises is a bigger gut. Never again
W-what about planks?
Did crunch and exercises like that at first. Then i discovered that them were useless for your abs so i quitted. I do squat 4 times a week(considering as squat also pause squat and hack squat), deadlift and bench press twice a week, so why i should do crunch? That's just stupid, it won't help your abs growing (talking 'bout volume) or getting stronger. I do some abs circuits once a month or less just for fun (or when hot chicks are near, just to let them mirin)
>>35528087
You can do weighted cable crunches with heavy weight to get a stronger core that can help in getting stronger at compound lifts.
>>35526523
Am at 3 and also used to be like 1.
Clean bulk in a few weeks brehs. Can't wait to make mad gains.
>>35526523
Yeah crunches (both normal and elevated with feet on door), regular sit ups, (twisting, punches) Leg lifts (trains abs groin muscles somewhat) Though for these because of a retinal tear surgery I can't lay on my back for a while so I mostly do ab work with planks
>>35526582
Dumbbells brah then when you have hit that mythical 60kg dumbbell you see that one crazy black guy use once move onto a barbell. Set up like a bench press but instead of lowering the weight, crunch up. Watch some Geroge Leeman videos on his deadlift assistance and he covers it. He also makes his troll gf sit on his stomach.
>tfw your gf will never be the sister of vince urbank
>>35526586
Nigga, if you lose 1lb a week, it'll take however long it takes. The guy in 1 weighs what, like 120kg? Maybe more, in 2 he weighs probs sub 100kg so thats like 8months? As for getting to 6, he probably is sitting about 80kg of lean muscle so we're talking 2-3 years minimum, more likely much more. This is a lifestyle, remember that bro. It takes a while to look like that, you're best bet is to keep up with SS to build that strength base then once you max out the noob gains switch to a intermediate aesthetic program like upper lower or push pull and cut whilst doing that. Much love brah

this desu senpai
>>35526523
>mfw i'm not the only one with ribs that look like as if they are slightly poking out below the pecs even at stage 2
How common is this? One thing that motivates me to get /fit/ is so that I don't have to see that shit ever again.
>>35528120
Abs =/= your whole core
Squats and deadlifts should be enough if you actually focus on the mind muscle connection to the core (i.e. consciously contracting it during the lift)
However, for those who get bored easily or just wanna isolate it you're going to want stomach vacuums, weighted crunches, weighted side bends and should maybe even consider looking up some good serratus exercises.
I also like dragon flags which I believe work the whole core.
