Lmao, abs day? Da fuq kind of routine are you doing
Been experimenting with pic related routine and loving it. Pull up bar routines are GOAT ab workouts.
>>36831566
I do 1300 crunches, in a row, every day and I still don't have abs.
>>36831687
Diet?
>>36831736
for breakfast
1 whole wheat waffle w/ light syrup, 1 granola bar
for lunch
2 protein bars (total of 40g protein)
usually snack on one more granola bar during work.
dinner:
either chicken and rice, an egg, or a kale salad with chicken in it. pork chops once in a while.
i also run 1.75 miles every day
>>36831687
>only doing crunches
Dumbass
>>36831666
Can confirm.
>>36831779
also another, smaller protein bar (11g protein) during work as well lately.
>>36831779
Sounds pretty decent. It all comes down to body fat in the end, man. With a much shittier diet and work-out than you, I used to have small but quite chiseled abs. Of course, I was a 6% body fat skelly back then.
From the other thread:
After years of lurking, I have developed a distended "sitting belly". There's not really much fat to pinch (at least not more than when I had a slim waist), but any abs exercises (crunches, sit ups, even planks) make the distension worse. To add insult to injury: My abs have become really weak.
Vacuums have somehow become impossible, too. I can't "pull in" anymore.
Only thing working seems to be the supine leg lowering test thing, but I feel it in my hernias too much to do it regularly.
Any ideas?
I do declined weighted crunches for 3x8-12 twice a week. Up to 30kg, but still no visible abs. Core is definitely getting stronger though.
>>36831529
>split vs. SS
paused front squats.
>>36831666
Pretty good, but despite satan trips it's lacking rotation exercises hence little oblique development
also it relies to much on the hip flexors, since it's basically 3 variations of the same leg raise
>>36831852
>any abs exercises make the distension worse
Are you absolutely sure? That's the opposite of what should be happening. Regardless, if your abs are so weak you can't even slightly do a stomach vacuum, you absolutely need to train them.
Google stretches for your hip flexors and quads and do them every single day. Something like 5 sets of 45 second holds. It's working for me, though my posture is still not perfect it's a million times better than it was.
>>36831566
Never gonna make it
>>36831529
Only ab exercise I do are stomach vacuum pullovers.
Push press alone is enough to develop big and blocky abs. And strong as fuck shoulders.
Only ab exercises worth doing are vacuums. Outside of that just do squats and deads and shit
>>36831960
>Are you absolutely sure?
Yes. Jeans get tighter and people tell me.
I don't think it's flexibility, I can almost do the splits.
Ab Wheel Rollouts. Literally all you need. 4x12 post workout along with squats and deadlifting. None of this bullshit 5 part hour long ab routines.
Just take the same routine as pro boxers. They're the athletes with the strongest abs
>>36832084
Agreed.
Ab wheel superset with hanging leg raises. All you'd ever need.
>>36832114
15x50 crunches like Pacquiao?
>>36832001
Can you squat 405+?
I'm stalling on 375 cause my abs are weak, but can deadlift 485 cause my erectors/traps are strong. Don't fall for the you don't need to train abs meme. They are a muscle too, so train them 2x a week.
I do weighted decline sit ups, weighted side bends, ab wheel, and stomach vacuums.
>>36832119
Hanging leg raises = I can't tie my shoes for the next 72 hours. Anyone who can do more than 3 sets of 12 is a fucking champ in my book.
>>36832119
This too. Hanging leg raises super sets are the bomb. I usually do about 10 or until I can't hold good form anymore.
4x15 ab roller
4x20hanging leg raises
4x15 russian twists with 35#
4x20 side bends with 80# db
Twice a week after legs
>>36832119
100% this.
>>36831852
BUMP FOR THIS. HALP!
Someone explain OP's pic?
>>36831852
Just fat.
>>36832732
Doesn't feel or act like fat (no jiggle, for example).
Athlean X's 6 minute abs of pain workout
>>36831529
Just do as Jim Wendler says, do 3-4 times per week a circuit like this:
10 weighted situps
10 leg raises touching bar
15 ab wheel rollouts
20 weighted side bends
------
x2
The second week do x3, the next one x4.
>>36832084
Are you suppossed to drop only to 30ยบ? Shouldn't you pretty much touch the floor with your nose?
>>36831687
i doubt you're doing it right or you're eating properly, because 1300 is A LOT, do weighted declined crunches and planks right after, do 3 sets of 20 weighted crunches and you'll be fine, just add weight when its easy to do 20
>>36832217
i can do if someone is holding my back so i don't swing, i do 4 sets of 12~15, i also can't do any more ab exercise after that
>>36833043
but he hab no abs tho
I started AllPro today. I'm supposed to do abs on non-weight training days.
Can anyone recommend a pure abs routine for me to use?
>>36833062
You go as low as you can before your lower back caves in. The stronger your core gets the farther you can go/switch to standing rollouts, etc.
>>36833062
I assume that going that low would be bad for your shoulder joint/rotator cuff
ab workouts are for girls and gays
>>36831529
Weighted ab wheel at end of every workout
diddlylifts and diddlylift variations like suitcase deads
strongman dumbbell presses
farmer carries
Swing type exercises
and that's about it I think.
i want to keep my v-taper (have narrow shoulders)
does ab roller work the obliques?
what ab exercises work the obliques the least?
>>36831666
>satan confirms
I've got a pull up bar in my room's door, starting that shit up right now
>>36836813
plz respond
debating whether or not to get an ab roller
When do you faggots do abs? I've never done them consistently, should probably start
>>36831666
Add twisting leg raises too. It's gonna be way more useful than knee raises.
>>36832657
It's a drawing of two very strong humanoids with exact human-like musculature.
There's nothing else to it.
I have not done abs in 2 months. It's a meme.
Though they are starting to lack because of my lazy ways.
>>36831666
Get some ankle weights or grab a barbell between your feet. Adding resistance is always superior to high rep / low(body) weight
>>36837461
You geared up?
>>36831529
ab exercises are a meme
i don't train abs
>>36837461
Hes right im bulking and can see a bit of my abs from just lifitng. This after not lifting for a whole year and gaining 40lbs in fat in 2015.
>>36832084
>not training obliques
>>36838127
Ab exercises are a meme for aesthetics, but vital for athletics
>>36837461
Steroids

5'5" smaller than my gf KEK
>>36831666
Decilish trips tells me this is a ruse because no obliques
