WHAT THE FUCK /fit/ why do you lie to me
Also, summer abs thread?
>>41369090
because you have low bf%
S A G E D
>>41369104
sage your gene pool you fat fuck
>>41369090
What exercises did you do?
>>41369205
Basically all variations of crunches. Also reverse crunches/leg lifts, and those like side foot touches that get your obliques
>>41369329
And it really took only 5 minutes?
>>41369090
Pic?
If /fit/ told you "pecs are made in the kitchen" would you believe them?
Your problem is that you're a gullible motherfucker and you need the approval of random people on the internet to manage your own body.
>>41369090
>abs were "made in the kitchen"
because they are dumb fuck
>did 5-10 minutes of ab isolation for literall 4 weeks and I already have decent abs.
because you have low bf% dumb ass
>>41369384
>implying that asking fitness advice from fitness enthusiasts is a bad idea
We're just all autistic and I forgot for a brief moment
>>41369350
5-10 minutes, after every workout, 6 days/week for a month. Worked for me...
>>41369375
>>41369487
People forget that the abdominal muscles are still muscles. low bf % is important, but strong abdominal muscles are important too.
>>41369547
I just always thought they were just there and I wasn't low enough BF% or eating too much salt or something
>>41369090
Abs are only for vanity and serve no purpose. People who work out abs are lifting for other people and by very definition will never make it.
>>41369403
this. /fit/ is more like PSL and less like BB these days
>>41369674
what the fuck is PSL?
>>41369090
Ive been doing leg raises alot and seeing improvements, what other ab exercises can I do that workout other parts that leg raises dont?
>>41369729
cable crunches and side bends are pretty good.
>>41369729
I paired leg raises with reverse crunches, made it more of a fluid motion which was nice.
I really like side-to-side foot taps too, basically like oblique crunches.
Then I just mixed matches different types of crunches: legs raised, half crunch, full crunch, elbow to knee.
Never did planks, never did weighted crunches, never did hanging leg raises. I would either do them all in a circuit, or just do 1 exercise until I couldn't breathe and then move on to the next one.
>>41369596
Take semen out of your diet and you'll see better results
>>41369777
>>41369776
ill try these, thanks
>>41369802
I'm sad I'm losing my abs while trying to become a bear
>>41369796
>implying semen isn't a great cutting food
>>41369837
Why? I get 10000x more attention from girls when I have abs vs. when I don't. It's actually kind of really fucking infuriating.
>>41369090
ive been doing weighted crunches for months on end and i still cant see mine unless im under perfect lighting. im like 18% body fat, but i cant feel the muscle under the fat, either. how the fuck do i get thick abs?
>>41369876
Because I lift to crush my enemies not grills
>>41369921
it's bodyfat
>>41369929
emotionally crush your enemies by sleeping with your enemies' crushes
Also, I don't have abs for girls, I have abs for the attention. There's a difference.
>>41369931
yeah but shouldnt i be able to feel my abs under the fat? or are they really that small, even on shredded people?
>>41369958
I mean mine aren't bulgy, but they just feel like 6 flat plates.
>>41369948
Plus I live in the northern hemisphere need the fat to keep warm.
>>41369993
The majority of 1st world countries are in the the northern hemisphere, in which it is currently summer. It's time to cut senpai.
>>41370013
Nooooooo you can't make me.
As a muscle-less skinnyfat with a pretty big gut, would you recommend cutting to skelly mode then bulk? or just bulk and lift, and pray to God i burn fat in the process?
Abs are made in the gym and revealed in the kitchen.
>>41370048
Bulk first. I was never skinnyfat, but I definitely used to be skinny as fuck, and skinny-packs definitely don't look great. You need some muscle before you can cut.
>>41369143
rekt
>>41370048
Try eating at a slight bulk while lifting, then see where you are from there.
>>41369796
>removing protein from diet
>expecting BETTER results, not worse
>>41369605
hey whats your front squat max buddy
>>41369699
Pumpkin Spice Latte. DUH
>>41369143
Holy shit gotem
>>41369387
do you work your abs in the kitchen or some shit?
your squeemish little abs will barely peek through if you don't directly work them
>>41369605
Are you dumb? Abs are a muscle like any other. If you have weak abs you have a higher chance of injury from compounds.
>>41370213
>front squats
my nigger. Front squats are my favorite exercise, replaced my back squats with them. My core burns like hell after 5x10
>>41369143
Shit son
>>41372062
Sorry bro but you lift for vanity and other people. Just accept that youll never make it and move on.
what other ab variations are there?
currently doing
>cable crunch
>hanging leg raise
>captains chair leg raise
>decline situps
>dragonflag negatives
also fuck planks, i hate planks
>>41369090
>tfw some fuckhead stole the gym's ab wheel
>don't have any ab exercise to do any more
It's the only one I like. I'm gonna have to buy one myself if the gym doesn't get a new one.
>>41369090
we're not looking for decent.
>>41369921
train your abs with weight
hold heavy weight in clean position, heavy farmers walk, heavy uneven farmers walk,
afterwards hanging leg raises with db or planks.
>>41372209
>also fuck planks, i hate planks
I have very wide hips and a wide ribcage but narrow shoulders, when I had an oblique pump it looked even worse, should I stop training them?
And do you already have to have a fairly strong core to do hanging leg raises? I tried doing the ab crunches from a kneeling position looking at the machine and they felt weird and I couldn't feel my abs being activated and I kept headbutting the floor so I was looking for another exercise
ive been cutting for about a month but i still have love handles, what do?
yes i am dyel
>>41374500
cut harder, cut longer
also do some chest/delts and you wouldn't even look half bad
>>41374464
work your delts and do vacuums.
