What fucking ab exercises can I do that aren't some faggot

>>40727690
Front sqats

Machines are for faggots

>Isolating your core

There's literally no reason to do this if you actually lift.

>being so weak that squatting doesn't work your abs

You guys are either fucking retarded, weak as shit or both. Probably both.

>>40727690
ab roller works abs really well, that said, you need to cut like a mad cunt if you want really nice abs.

who /plank/ here?

>>40727690
ill hold a weight behind my head while doing crunches on a yoga ball. but bodyweight exercises arent bad, ive actually grown to prefer them. like hanging leg raises, or the best ab workout: roman chairs

>>40729639
squats and deads work your lower back way more intensely than your abs. that creates an imbalance if you're not doing something elsew for your abs

>>40727690

You're retarded. The best core exercises are bodyweight ones. Ever try hanging leg raises or dragon flags? You can weight them too.

Planks, russian twists, and an ab roller. Holy shit using an ab roller absolutely destroys my entire core.

>>40729639

How does that even make sense? If they were weak, wouldn't squatting still work their abs according to your logic?

>>40729724
how hard are dragon flags? i want to try now that i looked them up, but dont want to look retarded failing to do them

>>40729758
>>40729724
nvm, i continued the video and it went into starting with bent-legged and moving up

>>40729677
I do them on my rest days, but they are the best other than ab roller imo.

>>40727690
Fork putdowns

SIPPED

>>40729639
this is a stupid post, Dmitry Klokov does ab isolations, so do Mariusz Pudzianowski, Dan Green, Brandon Lilly, Hafthor Bjornsson, Lu Xiaojun, the list goes on.

I guarantee your overhead strength is for shit. Once you start pressing >185 or so abdominal strength becomes a huge limiting factor that can't be corrected just by squatting and deadlifting, even if you're doing heavy front squats.

Not everyone does direct abdominal work but it absolutely becomes useful after a while depending on your athletic background. Unless you come from boxing or wrestling or do a lot of strongman type shit like log presses and farmer carries you should probably be throwing in abs at some point.

>faggot bullshit bodyweight calisthenics routine

you're retarded

>Hanging leg raises
>Decline crunches
>Cable crunches
>Cable woodchops
>Dragon flags
>Ab wheel
>Weight every exercise if you have to
>Exhale hard on contraction for every rep, hold it on the top of the movement

enjoy abs

>>40729776
just start bent-legged

How are you supposed to do standing cable crunch? Do I brace my core and do the reps? Do I focus on only round my upper back, or do I basically try and suck my dick and bend over fully?

>>40729949
>standing cable crunch
Everybody knows you have to do them on the ground facing Mecca if you want any gains

>>40727690
I bet you cant even do the simplest bodyweight exercises with proper form.
>>40728257
Ab wheel is calisthenics.

>>40729949
Just kneel on a yoga mat in front of the cable machine and do your crunch that way. Or just use the ab crunch machine, it's just as effective.

>>40729708
your form is all fucked up. If you're activating your core during a deadlift or a squat, your abs will get hit. If it's working your back more, you're not lifting with a neutral spine.

>>40727690
Easiest way I've found is a sharp decline angle bench where you do situps but hold yourself in a perfectly horizontal position for at least 5 seconds per situp. Do sets of 5. When that gets too easy, up it to 10 seconds in horizontal or add weight.

Are farmers walks good for abs and calves at all?

>>40729639
hahahaha god I can only imagine just how shitty you probably look if this is what you think

tbqh I work more my abs doing this motherfucker, then doing any isolation excercises. It's my favourite cardio machine

>>40727690
I had the same issue with the million reps of calisthenic routines and finally started using the crunch machine. It works well and unlike some other ab exercises it doesn't fuck your lower back. You can go as heavy as you want.

>>40731154
im assuming by calisthenics routines you mean baby shit like situps, flutterkicks, russian twists ect.
you gotta do the harder shit, dragonflags, L-sits, V-sits, toe to bar hanging leg raises
or just do weighted shit like you found.
