Abs Exercise Tier List (Simplified)

[@trainerwinny]

The NUTRITION PLANS are finally here, take a look! 🥗 bodybuildingsimplified.com/

[@havocsurge7667]

Cool list. I've tried a lot of stuff for abs before I settled on a few exercises. I am interested in your opinion on a variation of the cable crunch though. You sit on a lat pulldown machine with your back to the leg cushions. So, reversed sitting position Grab the pulldown bar with a reverse grip and hold it behind your head. Do crunches like you would with with the cable. I find that this exercises real hits those upper and middle abs. I get a burning sensation like no other. Plus, when you go back upright you get a nice stretch. Have you tried or seen this before?

Sure, here's the updated list with the time stamps simplified: 1. **Classic Situp** - A classic exercise for starting abs workout. [00:51](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h0m51s) 2. **Decline Situp** - Adds difficulty with a decline bench, better range of motion. [01:23](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h1m23s) 3. **Inverted Situp** - High difficulty, caution advised. [01:48](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h1m48s) 4. **Ab Roller** - Difficult but rewarding for abs strength. [02:30](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h2m30s) 5. **Dragon Flag** - The hardest listed, very effective. [03:04](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h3m4s) 6. **Basic Crunch** - Limited motion, minimal effectiveness. [03:29](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h3m29s) 7. **Bicycle Crunch** - Lacks challenge and weight addition. [03:56](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h3m56s) 8. **Machine Crunch** - Good with the right machine, allows progression. [04:23](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h4m23s) 9. **Cable Crunch** - Highly effective with correct technique. [04:58](kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmasdKGwgrp6hMU#t=0h4m58s) 10. **Plank** - Not suitable for advanced levels as it becomes too easy.

[@Halera-]

That video is very misleading, unfortunately. Sit-ups and leg raises don't train abs. They train quads. They do put some stress on abs, but that is nothing close to progressive overload. The only good ab exercises are ab crunches and pelvis rises. They are essentially the same anatomic movement. Do ab crunches on cables or a machine. While pelvis rise is similar to leg rise, you just rise your pelvis instead of legs, and thus train abs instead of quads. It is good to target lower abs, but it is not necessary. Ab crunches are good enough.

Thats an entirely different beast But stability is very trainable by adding isometrics into your workput Want to become way more stable in pullups or dips? Hold them for 5 seconds at the top(bottom for dips) and 5 seconds in the middle of the movement Gets you a really good amount of stability but wont make you gain muscle that much so dont look at progressive overload if youre doijg stability

The crunch is a superior exercise to the situp in every way when it comes to targeting the abs. To actually target the abs you need spinal flexion which isn't the main focus of situps and hanging leg raises (unless you also raise your hip as well). The hip flexors are the main focus of these.

[@AOTDDESTROYER]

It’s about the same as the sit-up (bad ROM and stretch) but it incorporates an isometric hold which isn’t really necessary unless traininhrg for muscle endurance. If you’re training for hypertrophy stay away

[@Kero-zc5tc]

I also wouldn’t recommend ab machines (I’m not at a knowledge level personally to preach this it comes from a trainer at the gym roughly), make sure you are doing them properly and don’t overload the weights

@@pacbac Yeah but that is just dogmatic thinking because you can do easier progressions (tucked/straddle etc.) and those are just as brutal if you are not there yet. I also have the feeling that progression through dragon flag is like a hyper bolic time chamber, its so fast. And extra tip for obliques. Because they useful if you are training for all round strength through different ways of movement. (And not just aesthetics, because big obliques give you a more blocky look and less of the sought after V-taper ), incorporate side dragonflags as you would do with side crunches.

[@Brisk855]

The dumbbell/plate side bend is actually a good exercise if you only have the weight in one hand. I hold a plate with one hand, slowly lower the plate (3 to 5 seconds), and then come back up (1 to 2 seconds). 3 sets, 5 to 8 reps each side.

[@ssgamer5693]

What about leg raises on ground and on decline bench? Leg raises on decline bench r a great regression to the hanging knee raises.Also unlike hanging knee/leg raises,using decline bench will put more tension on the core at the bottom/stretched position

[@lucasdias-yg1mp]

leg raises on the ground are kinda garbage because you will primarily hit hip flexors at first and then gravity helps a lot in the last part of the movement (when you curl your spine) which is what trains your abs. Reverse crunches on the ground with knees locked are a very easy exercise that melts your abs if you're a beginner, and it is a better version of the ground leg raise to hit abs.

I think one of the best exercises that i rarely see spoken about is sit ups with the feet not anchored under anything, "floating sit ups" if you will. It makes the movement exponentially harder and avoids the problem of working your hip flexors more than your abs, which will happen if you anchor your feet. Plus you need to keep your spine slightly curved at all times because doing sit ups with your spine flexing one way then the other under load is terrible for your back.

[@LilBoyHexley]

Cable crunch has always been my favorite ab exercise for loading. It's always been one of the only ab exercises that I can easily do heavy loading with while still feeling a solid stretch and near perfect mind-muscle connection. When you get it down, it's really tough to beat. Even though I still enjoy other exercises like leg raises and the ab wheel for all-around core stability. Ab wheel also seems to beat everything if you're trying to get sore lol. Likely because the rolling out while maintaining that ab tension is like doing an intense eccentric rep, which are known to induce more muscle damage than concentrics.

My favorites are weighted hanging knee lifts, weighing hanging leg lifts, landmine oblique twists, and decline weighing situps.

[@SchwererGustavThe800mm]

My ab routine typically consits of 3 workouts. 1: Decline situps, 3 x Failure. 2: Leg raises, 3 x 10. 3: Rusky twists 3 x 30.

[@casstram1898]

have you seen any results?

[@SchwererGustavThe800mm]

@@casstram1898 As a matter of fact yes! It feels like I'm almost seeing better results on a weekly basis. Just in the past 2 weeks, I've finally started to see the sides of my abs start to get definition. I still have alotta exterior fat to lose but I'm chipping away at it one day at a time. For context, I started my weightloss journey at 300lbs and I'm 194lbs now. I've just started lifting about two months ago and I'm in the gym 2 hours a day, 5 days a week!

I do the Russian Twist on the declined sit-up bench. Your abs are under constant tension as you hold yourself in the inclined position. A 20kg dumbell or kettlebell makes it a bit more challenging.

[@endermanu5280]

As someone that recently started to train the abs, I can confirm that plank is perfect for beginners: ez to do, you can do it pretty much everywhere and really helps to go from nothing to some mid abs. I also recommend doing around 20-30 situps before the plank so your abs are a bit more tired than usual.

if you do basic crunches with an ab mat, you can target your abs more just by getting your shoulder blades off the ground and slowly bringing it down, because of the ab mat, it allows you for your abs to stretch at the bottom.

The only reason why you hate the side bend is that you've never seen a propper one. One dumbbell, bend a lil forwards and bend to the side until you hit the ground with the dumbbell. Great range of motion, great stimulus, and some bonus spinal erector work. I recommend it in programs that don't hit the obliques too hard. If you do very specific exercises, like zercher deads, it can be a little too much to recover sometimes.

​@@princeb.. i wanted to ask about that. How many exercises are needed to hit every ab area and which ones are the best for that?

[@princeb..]

@@maree4843 You just need 2(technically 3 if you want to hit your obliques) One for your Upper abs( I use Cable Crunch) & one for your lower abs( Hanging Leg/Knee Raise), Russian Twist are good for your obliques.

Lovely video! I would add though, that lower tier exercises are helpful for somone with higher body fat percentage. Because the easiest to have visible abs is to loose that belly fat. This tierlist is more helpful to people who already into lifitng, imo.

The reason why people are giving 6-7 minute abs routines, is because you can train them intensively. Has this youtuber even bothered to watch those videoes from reputable people? Just 2-3 of such routines will be enough, because if you do proper bodybuilding you will target the abs on those exercises as well. Exercises that you have recommend arent bad, but your assumption about 6-7 routine abs workout is not really agreeable imo. Also, the point of a proper bicycle crunch is to also target the obliques! The obliques!

[@wocky5724]

Yes I said the same thing. That’s my issue with this video. He also tried to compare working abs to working chest but those are two different things. Abs are almost entirely based on your body fat. That’s why you see so many skinny people with abs without working out at the gym a day in their life. You don’t need to work abs nearly as much as your chest!

every single fitness youtubers say different things ESPECIALLY when it comes to ab exercises and how get them in the first place. We should all just try every single exercise and see which ones we genuinely enjoy the most and feel like it targets our abs the most.
