Abs Exercise Tier List (Simplified)

Have you ever wondered which ab exercises are the BEST to get a shredded looking sixpack? Thats what we will look into in todays video! For this tierlist, i chose these exercises: decline sit up, hanging leg raise, hanging knee raise, ab roller, sit up, machine crunch, cable crunch, bicycle crunch, mountain climbers, dragon flag, crunch, chair knee raise, chair leg raise, plank, russian twist, dumbbell side bend, cable twist, inverted sit up. All of the rankings are based on my own experience, and not on useless scientific studies. But you should always keep in mind, that everyone is different, and something that works for me, might not be so great for you. So dont forget that!

1:00 when I was younger I used to do like 100+ sit ups and never thought about adding weight lmao

[steinchen]

I like how you get straight to the point

The crunch is a superior exercise to the situp in every way when it comes to targeting the abs. To actually target the abs you need spinal flexion which isn't the main focus of situps and hanging leg raises (unless you also raise your hip as well). The hip flexors are the main focus of these.

1. *Classic Situp* - A classic exercise for starting abs workout. [00:51]
2. *Decline Situp* - Adds difficulty with a decline bench, better range of motion. [01:23]
3. *Inverted Situp* - High difficulty, caution advised. [01:48]
4. *Ab Roller* - Difficult but rewarding for abs strength. [02:30]
5. *Dragon Flag* - The hardest listed, very effective. [03:04]
6. *Basic Crunch* - Limited motion, minimal effectiveness. [03:29]
7. *Bicycle Crunch* - Lacks challenge and weight addition. [03:56]
8. *Machine Crunch* - Good with the right machine, allows progression. [04:23]
9. *Cable Crunch* - Highly effective with correct technique. [04:58]
10. *Plank* - Not suitable for advanced levels as it becomes too easy. [05:23]
11. *Mountain Climbers* - Better than some, but not highly recommended for abs. [05:56]
12. *Hanging Knee/Leg Raise* - Good for all levels, beginner-friendly knee version. [06:14]
13. *Roman Chair Knee/Leg Raise* - Alternative for those with grip issues. [06:39]
14. *Dumbbell Side Bend* - Not recommended, better options available. [07:22]
15. *Russian Twist* - A basic but effective oblique exercise for beginners. [07:35]
16. *Cable Twist* - Excellent for obliques with proper form. [07:58]

[haar]

For obliques, angled machine crunches by gripping one side of the machine. Start with lightweight or you might get flank cramps easily.

Some of the best abs info I've ever seen, way more digestible and entertaining than anything else

[dawidneumann]

ive never seen someone that would admire sit ups
and screw crunches

[zayfex]

It is now my 2nd week of proper gym workouts, I have 3 workouts per week, and it is a whole-body workout, I will leave this comment here as documentation of my being motivated at this point in my life.

[pyroblast]

Every AB workout of mine consists of suitcase holds, hanging leg raise, weighted decline situp and a weighted russian twist highly reccomend doing these! I’m never doing anything else again for the core

[zaldare]

thanks winny! you don't know how valuable this is for someone who has stagnated in their training routine having issues finding new exercises. Training has become fun for me now because I find 2-3 new good exercises to do during training for each muscle part.

[theshrimpwizard]

Bro I literally just subscribed yesterday and I'm already getting videos, I'm very motivated now cuz I almost gave up today on ABS until I realized that the Ab Roller is a thing thank you.

[TheDevilsGreatestTrick]

God bless you, Trainer Winny. I've been waiting on this for AGES. 😭👍

[Mack_Stoney]

FYSA: sit ups cause stretch on the lower back/spine, and if you have back problems it can exasperate them

[Owendiamond]

Omg I’ve been trying to find tougher ab exercises for like 2 weeks thanks you so much man
