So, abs are made in the kitchen, but what exactly do you do in the gym for them (as well as obliques)?
- Favorite exercises
- Frequency/how often per week and for how many sets/reps
I've only been doing cable crunches 3x/w but been hearing good things about ab wheels and just ordered one, are they complementary or redundant? I feel like cable crunches mostly target upper abs and I'd like to alternate with something more lower focused. Rollouts or leg/knee raises?
i dont get the ab wheel
always hurts my lower back, dont feel it in my abs.
is that because i am 195cm lanklet? i already tried keeping my back round and contracting my abs. nothing. maybe just too weak

>always hurts my lower back, dont feel it in my abs.
Poor form maybe?

cheers, will check it out next session.
i wont accept that i might just be too tall. ridiculous, that

It means you're far too weak. It takes a lot of ab strength to keep the pelvic tilted correctly during a full roll out that most people won't have on their first attempt. If you feel any pain at all in the lower back, stop immediately and work on your posterior pelvic tilt before working any further on this exercise.

Abs are made in the gym, revealed in the kitchen.
All I do is sit-ups and hanging leg raises.
6'5, I can't do ab wheel without going from the knees instead of the toes
Is this acceptable?

better be joking because ab wheel is intended to be done from knees
