I Don’t like Crunches & Planks for Abs

There’s a reason why Crunches & Planks aren’t my first choice for building abs. The reason is simple: to effectively work your rectus abdominis, or what we think of as our 6 pack, we need to have good flexion in our spine, or rounding of your back.

Yes… my question as well…. What one’s DO you prefer …. ?

#1 best exercise for abs: managing diet and caloric intake. Everything else is 2nd.

[avinashkumbhare]

Sir the function of rectus abdominious is to stabilize the spine movement

Absolutely love your channel and have been a fan for years including your products. I’ve been monitoring my testosterone for 10 years and finally qualify for TRT under health insurance. What is your testosterone blood level do you maintain your amazing physique? God bless, hope your family is healthy and well.

Impressive physique, what is your height and weight? Muscle development looks great, not over exaggerated.

I've never done abs. And I never will.

Here is one of my favorit dynamic exercise: get a bosu-ball and do your crunch on that bosu-ball. Your back should lay on the ball and your hips should be in the air. Now bend your back and also go down with your hip. In other words stretch the abdominis. From this position do the crunch and lift your upper body and the hips up. More range of motion is not possible.

Thank you! I always question why planks are pushed as some sort of ab exercise. It’s just an isometric exercise. How does that build muscle? Just doesn’t make any sense to me. Never did. Completely baffling that people think they’re gonna do this and get abdominal muscles. Like a wall sit. I’m sure it has some benefits but you’re not going to build any real muscle doing that.

Are plank & crunch good for burning fat ?

[lacarpetrondukemarriott]

I hate when people on the entire pharmacy try to tell me how to achieve certain muscle groups similar to theirs….

[Johnconner]

I don’t diet so I’m kinda not going to train abs cause belly’s get bigger without dieting I like my belly it allows me to eat and I live to eat

[midnightpurps]

Your physique is my definition of a perfect physique.

[mr.m]

I have been struggling to grow my muscles than my current physique, having been using Ta2 build for a year, any suggestions?

[davidlitchke]

All that is all well and good, but is a mute point without a spot on diet.
