people on this board preach that you should do abs in a 8-15 rep range like everything else, but never mention what exercises are good for that
when i can do 40+ strict sit-ups what the frick am i supposed to do? i used to do hanging leg raises and variations but those were too easy aswell, weighted sit-ups and such work like ass aswell because you're simply holding the weight up and its not much resistance to the abs.
how am i supposed to reach this mythical 8-15 rep intensity?
leg raises, hanging leg raises, toes to bar progression should last you a while probably
like i said, i used to do hanging leg raises and they didn't work the way i want them to usually my grip would give out before my abs especially because i do abs at the end of workouts, i also don't have access to a bar anymore the way i used to, so they're a no. doing it on dip bars does less for me than doing situps
you just assume everyone is a 2 week beginner like you, i've been training muay thai for years, i'm sure my abs are trained and my hips are open and flexible, is it so hard for you to believe that someone is strong in something?
if hanging leg raises are too easy for you then you're probably just swinging your back like a moron instead of doing them slow and controlled focusing on abs the whole time
Frick workouts that require focus on muscle activation. Let us ball out 100% even if it means cheating a little, much easier to achieve the highest degrees of muscle tension when you're at overload
for work outs like that, that's moronic. like OP said,
his grip gave out first. something else is going to give before you even feel anything in what you're trying to actually target or you'll be using something else more and barely hit what you wanted to hit

Weighted pushups. It’s like doing a weighted plank. Use either parallel bars or a rings. And use a dip belt to secure the weight.
I like to do leg raises and use knee raises as a warmup. If you’re not able to do leg raises with good controlled form, then probably work on knee raises first.
Maybe try training your abs instead of your hip flexors?
Unfortunately there is no abdominal equivalent to what the spinal erectors receive on a deadlift or back squat. Barbell movements simply use more spinal erectors and so their will almost always be an imbalance between the spinal erectors and the rectus abdominals. Why why so many lifters have back problems even when they perform the exercises with perfect technique. You can’t strengthen your abs with the same intensity as you can strengthen your spinal erectors with deadlifts.
An upright sled push would also be pretty good for the abs.
man, my old gym before I moved had a sled to push
I miss it
I strap some gymnastic rings to a football sled at the local middle school football field. It’s pretty great to push and pull.
My ab routine consists of 5-6 sets of 6-15 reps of hanging straight leg raises, lateral straight leg raises and circular motions. I add ankle weights when I can do 15 reps
Ab wheel
i do
>leg raises with dumbell between legs
>ab crunch machine
3 x 10-20
>weighted sit-ups and such work like ass aswell because you're simply holding the weight up and its not much resistance to the abs.
what the frick
hold the weight behind your head, I mean press it against the back of your head
even small weights make a huge difference this way and I'm inclined to believe you were holding the weight on your chest or somewhere (which is wrong)

Ab wheel, ab wheel full roll out, weighted ab wheel.
> hanging leg raises dont train abs
No shit, the abs attach to your legs, moron. Raise your hips not your legs
> what exercise is the best
The one you feel
Shit i mean “Don’t attach”. They insert on the pelvic bone not the hips.
