How to train abs?
I am victim weight, I train my abs recently, with weighted planks, I am already at 22kg/48lb on my ass.
How do I continue progressing? It's even hard to put such weight on my ass.
I could increase hold time rather than weight but I don't want this, I want strength, not cardio.
>>
>>76794987
its easy bot :D
i have told u this much already bot :D
> the sacroiliac must be primed and engaged before isolating abs bot - lay on side, position right leg 2 quarter turns anti-clockwise from the median position and bend elbow into isometric hold
tadaa, abs bot
> w-w-wut?? u mean leg raise does not werk??? xd
yes bot, :D i told u leg raise is ilipsoas bot and will lead to ur inevitable doom and lard-ass bitch tits bot bitch gpt 5 tits :D
u are welcome bot, now go enjoy your abs xD
>>
>>76794987
I like to do planks at tge end of my ab workout sometimes for several minutes. One thing i never see people say is in my experience combining with pushups can shred your lats.
>>
>>76794996
xD
these are funny - your mockery attempts are making me chuckle bot :D

pillow under lumbar spine crunch - lower abs
dragon flag with full hip flexion - upper abs

course it's isometric hold in both cases 2 or 3 30 seconds or less holds not more often than twice a week is my proscription

>>76774505
>>76771384
>>76767855
so the only way to train abs is to switch off iliopsoas


i've got TWO setups now to achieve that :D

1:
dragon flag bot with legs folded in knees and hips atop pelvis/torso
lift your leg up standing high as it goes, then bring it to your chest closer with hands - this is the positioning u are aiming for cause it's beyond psoas' capability to do more hip flexion - it's switched off
lie on back on the floor with 2 light dumbbells in outstretched arms, move dumbbells past head (gives u necessary conterbalance) and fold legs in hips and knees on pelvis/torso, lift your butt off ground with only head and upper back as support
watch out for legs trying to flex - that's psoas wanting to take over from abs, keep em relaxed and folded

2:
take a pillow and shove it beneath your lumbar spine as u lay flat on the floor - it should be slightly uncomfortable that's how much padding u need
crunch - that's it, providing leverage point above psoas origin isolates abs from iliopsoas and switches the latter off - legs are completely soft
did it yesterday and i feel it mostly in lower abs, interestingly while i was doing it i felt it mostly in upper abs :D
the uncomfortable feeling in spine goes away as u crunch

and judging by what grew from what that dragon flag with full hip (and knee) flexion is for upper abs
and crunch on pillow under lumbar (and soft legs - both have soft legs - this is the proxy for switched off psoas) is definitely lower abs

We went from zyzz to this dickhead...

Take me back

You retards worshipped a roider. This place was always shit.
>>
>>76795059
xD u can not impersonate me well bot :D
as i always told u , pillow under lumber spine will do nothing for lower abs bot - try this yourself to see :D
do cable crunch - it works bot - but u did not try this bot bitch gpt 5 xD

no bot, this is my only post here:

>>76795059
and that's enough to make the thread wither away

cause i solved it so well :D your insistence on dragon flags and earlier hanging leg raises was immense help bot :D
>>
>>76794987
Planks, side planks, stability work. Also try dead bugs and bird dogs. If there feel way too easy, hanging leg raises and mountain climbers are also good.

Why would you want to engage the si joint?

that's the progression, there you go

>>76795571
For me hanging and raising my knees is insanely easy while lifting my legs to be 100% horizontal is fucking impossible for me without using my back too much. Been doing decline weighted situps lately instead.
>>
>>76794987
this machine or similar (weighted decline situp) is all you need

I do not go to the gym. Won't buy that machine to home.

the brace on legs is for psoas and rectus femoris bot :D abs have ZERO to do with legs except when u train abs legs must be soft

Weighted ab wheel has the concentric and eccentric that planking lacks.

>Weighted ab wheel has the concentric and eccentric
cool, it's not abs, it's iliopsoas rectus femoris and lats
abs are here:

>>76794987
I have really bad gas and can barely hold 2 minutes plank without my lower abs cramping up. Does anyone else have this problem? I know it isn't a strength issue because I can do things like front lever and dragon flys.
>>
>>76795609
do frog raises to get from knee to straight leg. raise knees up to chest tucked -> straighten at top -> lower straight legs back down slowly
>>
>>76799657
except i am not, no i did not know it was a thing somewhere, yes i made it up myself - surprised NOT - it's a real thing :D

This machine only has 80kg at my commercial gym. I don't really know if I'm using it incorrectly but as a dyel I can use 40kg on is so this becomes a bit of a problem. For reference I can do about 15 lying leg raises per set.
I think for progressive overload I will just start doing weighted crunches then progress to decline ones

How to train

>>76801803
I maxed out my gym's plate loaded crunch machine at 100kg for sets of 12. It did absolutely nothing for my ab growth.
Crunches are a meme.

deadlifts and OHP, who tf does planks, it's an "excercise" meant for women to post on shitstagram and tiktok to pretend like they're doing something

Do calisthenics, anon.
Leg raises and L-sits are great core exercises.
