Favorite Abdominal Ex.?

[FoReaLL]

I was lookin to incorporate some other ab exercises and just wanted to get a good scope on what are the best excercises to use

 

[doddsyboy99]

i tend to use (15-20 reps)

Weighted crunch
Ab cradle crunch
Twist sit ups
ab pulldown

 

[jsb]

heavy squats and squat variations

 

[Skye]

leg raises... it not only gets your legs and behind... it also targets abs... and if you go up with them it works them more...

Theirs actually quite a bit of debate over rather or not those actually work your abs.

heavy squats and squat variations

I agree with what he is implying. In actuality, if you are performing a large variation of compound exersizes, you will not need a lot of ab-isolation work. Compound movements such as squats, bench presses, rows, and deadlifts utilize your abdominals as stabilizers. However, if you must isolate here are some good ones:

Cable Crunches
Decline Crunches
Hanging Leg Raises
Swiss Ball Crunches

 

[Karky]

core specific movements.
Ab rollouts
Renegade rows
russian twist

but ofcource, squats and deads.
