STOP HANGING leg raises like this = ABS!

Stop doing hanging leg raises like this if you want abs -

I mean you can, but let me show you whats happening, then a better way!

From the side, you can see that I’m doing a lot of rocking motion.

If this is you, you’re just getting a lot of momentum and no real engagement!

To build up the control, go back to hanging knee raises! Make sure you minimum the rocking!

Once you get stronger, go back to hanging leg raises.

And if you feel that’s too easy, try toe bar taps with control!

What ever you do…

You're exactly right!. And remember that - contrary what everybody thinks - those with bent knees are a m-u-c-h better abs workout than those with straight or nearly straight legs, because the bent ones c-o-n-t-r-a-c-t the abs mnore!.

Excellent demonstration Jeremy thank you so much 🙏👍

[nobiclarke]

These never fail to burn my core. Good vid!!

[aysitumari]

Ok thank you for the tip.
I was mos def doing lot of momentum.

[pmikeymike]

These are so tough for me man! You're right though, it's wasted effort just rocking.

[AfzalKhan-cnhf]

Personally, I find supinated grip very helpful in preventing the rocking motion thereby allowing for a greater stability and in turn muscle engagement.

[Digilio]

Hold tension in your biceps while doing the raises. Prevents the swinging. Albeit a bit of a advanced move I guess.

bro this was really helpful saved me like 15 mins of tryna find out how to do it in like 3 seconds

[AndrewTateTopG]

I do them really slow ( for better core engagement ) since i've watched this video and i got really nice abs now

[djdlowofficial]

Thay loop was on point bro! As a DJ this was satisfying. I was like wait this is the longest short I ever watched 😅 Great stuff 🙌🏾

[reyasaint]

Best fucking loop I've ever witnessed 😮... And thanks for the tips aha

Improvement:
A little pull up to a half pull-up and then perform the exercise at full body tension. Of course, you can only do this if you are able to stay in this position for a longer time.

This is what I was looking for like why am o rocking so much

[riquelvimorales]

I pull myself up and hold my arms, then pull my legs up. 10 times. Is ur way more effective?

[azkathemiz]

Is it train the entire abs group?

The upper, lower and oblique?

[kennikuhlmann-clark]

Wild swinging could wreck your back too

[roberttaylor]

Why don't you lock your knees out throughout the exercise as well?

[frantisekhromek]

If doing it fast, maybe I can have some back issues?

[IamFal]

My upper thigh and my back is fukin hurth when first time i try doing full leg raise not like this but in normal way on the ground 😂, and in that moment for a sec i thought i cant walk anymore and thats fukin scary af 😂. and i stop doing that maybe until my weight go down a bit or my body lil bit stronger now im on 106kg/172cm 😂.

all you need is to bind a rope or cushion behind your back.
