Always great to see abdominals training videos. I'm age 22 and did gymnastics for 14 years and began training abdominals from before I can remember. Don't stop training your abdominals. And don't neglect the lower back--you want to have a strength balance between your abdominals and lower back. And aim to strengthen your TVA muscles.

You might increase the difficulty on the L sits by using still rings. A great compound exercise and better than the p-bars.

Great analogy. I'm also age 22. I did gymnastics for 14 years. I was put into gymnastics by age 4. I was adopted out of Ukraine as a young boy and raised in a rural USA community. I stayed with gymnastics and have been very lean and muscular all my life. I train in some way almost every day. For years in middle and high school I trained my abs hard 7 days a week for gymnastics but also to cope with stress of being bullied. MONEY--I've been working for a construction company and they offer retirement plans. I'm age 22 and wasn't thinking about my future. My adoptive parents divorced when I was age 9 or 10 after I got US naturalized citizenship thank you very much. I then learned I am actually 1 year younger than my parents were told from the adoption agency. That meant me with poor English skills and smaller as a gymnast was in 1 grade higher than my age. I worked hard to keep up. It explained why I was smaller than other boys in my grade. But I learned this only last summer. BUT money--I worked from age 13 to make money for gymnastics academy fees (it's not a school sport) and then for Planet Fitness. I made money most years since age 13. BUT I learned 2 years ago about personal finances and savings for retirement. Me at age 22 and saving for retirement!! Yes as it turns out. If you have earned income then you can open a ROTH IRA and add money to that every month. And then it will grow and grow. If you don't have a HP financial calculator you might get one and play around with N of periods (e.g. months), Interest rates (per/periods), Present Value (use a - sign), and Payments (per period and again use a - sign). This will tell you the FV or future value of your investments. It is a great way to think about savings and what to expect. I've been adding to a ROTH 401(k) and they take money out of my paycheck so I don't notice it. But I know I'm investing. Again about the body. I've trained hard for the last 17 of my 22 years. I hope to keep investing financially but also physically. I guess if you are not yet investing in a ROTH retirement account you should start. The earlier the better even if you quit like 10 years later it will continue to grow. But also you sound like you're investing to have money for personal savings. I grew up poor and was working by age 13. I got severely beat up at age 16 by older athletes who found me alone working out. They told me they wanted to punch the fuck out of my abs for many months. And that night they put me in a full nelson and took turns punching the shit out of all 4 rows of abdominals, obliques and even my chest. But I turn out to have rock hard abs. I have no body fat and they didn't use gloves. They really damaged the skin over my abs but I lasted over 30 minutes just trying to survive. I also wanted to show them gymnasts are tough athletes. But later I got into training to take hard punches. I grew taller and a few guys on the wrestling team told me I should charge guys to throw punches. The summer I turned age 17 a friend and I went to a camping ground and found some college guys camping. I ended up making over $200 of easy money. I didn't put that to savings though. I've been working full time in construction and feel I've got my feet solidly on the ground. So I like your video on investing a lot.

@@achi3982 I know. My last 2 years of high school a grew a lot physically. I was beat up at age 16 and 5'6" and 150 lbs. I was all muscle and a great size for a gymnast but felt very small held in a full nelson taking punches from athletes 6' and taller. I hit a growth spurt and got to 5'8" and then 5'9". I got to 178 lbs (mostly due to me leaning into heavy legs workouts). But I also got into severe abdominal training (we called it SAT). That included building very dense abdominal muscles and what we called Impact Training (medicine ball throw downs and me taking hard punches). A friend on the wrestling team who also was into core training told me that he knew guys who would be very happy to pay to throw punches to a gymnast's shredded muscular abs. He and another wrestler and I were camping one weekend. Some campers we met were college guys. The 3 of us were shirtless and those guys noticed us and started asking questions. They asked us to join them around a campfire later offered to give us beer (I don't drink) and we did. That led to my friends offering me up to take their punches for money. I needed money for gymnastics academy fees and to buy a truck. I had several jobs. But I also trained to take hard punches. By age 17 I was very good at taking punches (dumb skill). It made me popular with a group of athletes. I was adopted and bullied growing up and never had friends at school After I got beat up and started lifting weights at school that summer I met guys who were impressed with my physique but more that I lasted so long taking punches. So when we went camping that weekend it was easy to make money. For me it really was easy but not pain free. From the night I got beat up I started taking ibuprofen. I did long hard abdominal workouts throughout high school and relied on ibuprofen to manage pain. I've done abdominal training since age 4 when began gymnast and my abdominals muscles are very used to a lot of hard work. But in high school I got into severe abdominal training. When we camping--what those college guys did to me was not hard. I'm age 22 now and none of my friends know anything about me getting beat up or that I can take hard punches.

Cryptos are the money of the future. The corrupt/criminal dollar is on the way out. The dollar is a fiat (fake) currency and will end soon. As will all fiat currencies worldwide. As the dollar ends real money will rise to unbelievable value. The transfer of wealth will be unprecedented. Dollars to real money (crypto, silver, gold) Keep growing your BTC and if you're interested in outrageous profits consider silver, and cryptos XRP, Cardano, Theta, and Hedera. Cryptos/blockchain/AI are the future and will be a bigger deal than the invent of the computer. IMO
