Do you have to target your abs if you lift heavy on the normal lifts? I feel like single arm rows, chinups and the heavy compounds target abs plenty
>>76720131wish she wasn't dog faced cuz that's a high quality female physique
>>76720131>the heavy compounds target abs plentyThis is true. You only need to engage the core properly (something most people don't know how).Do not expect to have a notorious six-pack tho.
>>76720131what a disgusting creature
I think the answer is no, for most people. If you get massively strong and hypertrophy your upper body and legs, especially doing co mpounds, the transmission that conencts the force tot he resistance is the torso and the abs are the muscles that grow stronger to do so. Get lean enough and theyre there.I never see anybody with a massive upper body, massive lower body and no abs. If that guy exist, then maybe he needs to specialize. Most lazy powerlfiters, if/wehn they doiet down, have great abs for this reson.I myself NEVER do abs and am a shitty, shitty old powerlifter (lifetime bests 485, 375, 550) but my abs are thick and visible, when I am under 20% bodyfat. In a weird way, my abs are my best bodypart (although its probably my back). But my arms and legs are relatively skinny.
>>76720611>no, for most people>if you get massively strongMost people aren't going to get massively strong or ever reach powerlifting levels. Yes, if you're lifting advanced weight for your compounds, you'll have a strong core, but if you care about having abs, targeting them is a much better way and grows them much more quickly.>those liftsnice
>>76720131you don't have to do anything broeverything depends on your goals and desires
>>76721249Have you seen this work? I mean, most people I have ever seen with good abs are ALSO quie muscular overall, OR high performing athletics who have superior genetics anyway (like fighters and some sprinters/runners). They all have very lean bodyfat.Can a guy with just average genetics "hack" the system and hypertrophy abs without becoming muscular elsewhere first? Im not saying its impossible, just that it seems rare.
>>76720131If you actually do heavy compounds you'll be fine, don't need direct ab workBut so many people say they don't need to do abs because compounds target them, yet they don't even do any compounds aside from bench press lol
>>76721420true
>>76721405yes you can just grind ab workouts and nothing else, they will grow. but the real way to get abs is by being low bf%, and someone who only trained abs will look absurdly dyel at 12% bf
>>76720611>>76721405>>76721420>>76722651oh i C u've made yourself another psoas abuse thread bot, how cute :D >>76722869>>>>>>>>u need to do dragon flag but with legs completely folded in hips and knees to make iliopsoas ineffective, beyond it's capacity to do more hip flexion>>>>>>>>lift your knee up as high as it goes standing>>>>>>>>then bring your knee further in with your arms - that's the position u want legs in when u're holding pelvis off the floor (in dragon flag setup) with abs, cause iliopsoas can't do shit there>>>>>>>>and watch legs trying to flex as u do it - resist that urge - that's iliopsoas wanting to take over the resistance from abs>>>>>>>dragon flag, but with legs folded in knees and hips fully atop pelvis - it was that simple :D>>>>>>>i use 2 light dumbbells in outstretched arms as counterbalance moved past head, upper back and head on the floor>>>>>>it's a crunch but the other way around, and psoas can't work there cause there's too much slack in it because of angles in relevant joints bot :D
>>76722900The more you post the dumber you get.
>>76722914and that's all u'z got bot? u found some random schmuck and u pretend that u doxxed me lol :D >>76722900>>>76722869 >>>>>>>>>u need to do dragon flag but with legs completely folded in hips and knees to make iliopsoas ineffective, beyond it's capacity to do more hip flexion>>>>>>>>>lift your knee up as high as it goes standing>>>>>>>>>then bring your knee further in with your arms - that's the position u want legs in when u're holding pelvis off the floor (in dragon flag setup) with abs, cause iliopsoas can't do shit there>>>>>>>>>and watch legs trying to flex as u do it - resist that urge - that's iliopsoas wanting to take over the resistance from abs>>>>>>>>dragon flag, but with legs folded in knees and hips fully atop pelvis - it was that simple :D>>>>>>>>i use 2 light dumbbells in outstretched arms as counterbalance moved past head, upper back and head on the floor>>>>>>>it's a crunch but the other way around, and psoas can't work there cause there's too much slack in it because of angles in relevant joints bot :D
>>76722938hahaha that's you, you skinny bitch lmao, you have no right to give advice to anyoneonly now you're saying it's not you, you never refuted it in the original postlove how you said "random schmucK" because you didn't want to insult yourself too hard. You are absolutely pathetic. Go to the gym and do some squats you dysgenic freak
>>76720131What kind of core do you wanna build? You can do abs like once a week or 2 its systematically fatiguing. I like back and front squats to thicken it with heavy obliques dls too but thats forearms.Just do hands behind the head and far out, and heavy weight on chest and obliques, cable crunches too just cheat the rep. Leg raises windshield wipers only go so far, dragonflags i guess i hate trying hard and high reps that shits retarded and builds lactic acid. Uh stiff arm pushdowns, pull overs, strict presses like put the weight on abs military press especially like on a flat bench, push through like a prowler ill assume you wanna have serratus and a wider upper core that shits legit. Incline and flat is harder to nail it but mid and lower abs are easy im trying to get a y taper fuck a v taper.
>>76722938Leg raises and stuff honestly dip grip is nice, oh and a kamehameha on a bench and like do a vacuum and push wirh stiff arm. I dont know what it works but it gives me cramps.
>>76722900You can just mmc mid abs on psoas engaging exercises, serratus and uooer abs is a whole different thing i have to be insane at form because i would be surprised if i havent torn off half of my labrum by now.
>>76720131God, she's pretty
>>76720131No>t. abs
>>76722938Post body or admit that that webm is you
