meme lift or GOAT of core sculpting?
meme exercise created by Jeff Nipple
>>77181778guy in picture is doing them wrong
>>77181778they would be the best ab exercise imo but I max out all the stacks at my gym
>>77181778Top tier if you can do it with proper form, absolutely worthless if you can't
Impossible to load because you can full stack 90% of cables on this I just do weighted knee raises instead
>>77181791>>77181792>>77181801>>77181804>>77181807Post abs
>>77181814feel free to start
>>77181791manlet didn't create shit>>77181778standing variation is the goat
just use the ab machine bro. why do scienceniggers need everything to be cables
>>77181814this is me before i got fat its impossible to do them like a crunch and not like a situpsqueeze your glutes, keep your hips still and focus on curling your sternum towards your pelvis
Hanging knee raise -> hanging leg raise -> toes to bar without kipping. Between this and heavy compounds my core gets worked. As soon as I stop feeling this I'll get an ab wheel.
>>77181833>Hanging knee raise -> hanging leg raiseExplain
>>77181823Most gyms don’t have an ab machine
>>77181778I find it very difficult to feel stable I do these with a lot of weight. I wish my gyms weighted crunch machine wasn't such complete fucking ass cause that solves the stability issues. I could wear a dip belt but I'd feel like such a dumbass>>77181833Do you do the knee raises weighted? Cause if it's BW I can do like 50 reps
>>77181836keep reading and be enlightened
>>77181778You are worshipping false idols and condemning your eternal soul to nogainz by performing this exercise you dumbass
>>77181847Hold kettlebells with your toes if you can do that many reps to weight the movement because you are obviously monke and born for this.
>>77181778I prefer roman chair leg raises
>>77181829poo in loo
>>77181778does this exercise intentionally look like you're trying to hang yourself
>>77181829>before i got fatSomeone tells him
We got a cable variant of pic related.So many are doing the ab crunch wrong, mainly using their psoas.I can do double the weight if I use them and there's hardly any doms in my abs after.
>>77183311My gym has a version of this made by the worst gym company on earth - Precor. The top end of the ROM has your spine hyperextended under load for no perceivable reason. They could have kinda solved this by having the foot plate be connected so that you push with your feet at the start of the rep to get into a neutral position but no. So at the start of each set you have to get the weight moving from a hyperextended spinal position and you have to unnaturally cut each rep short if you want to just finish a rep with a straight back like anyone would. Fucking hate precor so much.
>>77181833based
>>77182189Anecdotally I’ve seen more progress after two months of doing these 5 days a week than I did after doing 4 years of doing calisthenics + body weight core exercises. Weighted training is almost always better than non-weighted in terms of building muscle mass.
>>77183367That is godlike man, why the fuck are you so scared of a nice full range of motion with a deep stretch? Fucking onions lifters man.
>>77181778Top tier but only if done correctly. The OP pic is hinging at the waist but instead you should try to curl your abdomen and crunch + clench
>>77185117Best cue for cable crunches is to pretend like you're trying to suck your own dick. Sounds retarded but works wonders
>>77185117I’ve found that sitting on my heels works too
>>77183311I wish my gym had one of these because I hate literally every other ab exercise except for leg raises
>>77183311>>77183367That's what I use since I know I'll have incorrect form if I try to do it myself
