this is the best ab exercise besides ab-wheel i have found so far that doesn't use gym machines/equipment, aslong as you have some parralel bars.
other variations like hanging leg raises or doing it in an L-sit position are pointless and just makes it harder by using the grip and hip flexors more, without any benefit for the abs.

Imagine doing the sissy version of hanging toe to bars and then claiming it's superior. Do you also do push ups on your knees?
yeah i knew you were going to say this, i'm sad i used to be a parroting dyel like you who thought you had to stretch your legs to not be a pussy, but it doesn't really add anything, why should i do a bunch of shit hanging and then have my grip fatigue before my abs, when i can just take those away and actually focus on what i want?
>his grip fails before his abs do
Just stop man. Youre really embarassing yourself.
the only thing you add when you do leg raises hanging is grip and hip flexors, straightening the legs doesn't actually do much besides a slight load on the eccentric if you do it very slowly, which has diminishing returns if you have good endurance and strength in your abs and can do a lot of reps because you will fatigue your grip and hip flexors first, its funny you guys think you're flexing when you're really not, knee raises are better hanging aswell, it takes out the hip flexors, which you guys probably think is part of your abs
You're trying too hard to fit in
You're trying too hard to stay dyel
Dude just admit you don't know how to do leg raises and let's move on
>admitted his grip is dogshit
>admitted he uses his hips to supplement weak core muscles
If knee raises are so good, let's see your abs
i used to do hanging leg raises though.
i've been doing muay thai for years so my abs and hip flexors are among my strongest parts, you only want to think you had some hidden knowledge and think i must be wrong because hanging leg raises are the only ab exercise nuIST knows. when you do tons of ab volume multiple days a week you will quickly reach a point where doing it hanging is stupid, some bodybuilders like lee priest will tell you this aswell, why wouldn't you isolate the abs more when you can? theres no point in adding more shit to it.
you wouldn't think that the ideal way to train your front delts is doing a single dumbbell press with a clean before every rep.
t. hanging leg raiselet
how do i do this without being vulnerable to butt fingering by gym gays?
Hollow body rockers are better and used by athletes that actually need ab strength. These train your entire abdominal wall to prevent hernias without twisting the shit out of it. Leg raises are mostly hip flexor. This is why hollow body holds are part of rehab regimes and not knee raises.
I have never seen this before so ill check it out.
What ive been doing is just weighted crunches. I just hold a weight behind my head and do regular ab crunches
when you do knee raises (of any kind) you pretty much take away the hip flexors, thats my half my point, its like nobody even reads the OP.
yet everybody acts like its a trash inferior exercise to shit that actually is trash
This is like going on IST and telling us about lateral raises. This is one of the most basic fricking things every noob in the gym knows about so you just exposed yourself as a new lifter by thinking is some "wisdom"
>woah guys this is a crazy exercise I found bro this shit smashes your biceps
>it doesn't even need equipment as long as you have some dumbbells
frickin sick thanks for the advice brah
having a dip/pullup stand is pretty minimalist equipment though, same as having a set of adjustable dumbbells.
L-sit or straight leg raises hanging from a pull up bar (better yet rings)are a based exercise though.
What about russian twists?
Yeah it’s fine, but there will quickly come a time where you need to do 50+ just to get a burn, and that’s 1 set. You’ll be doing them for 45 minutes just to get 4 working sets in. There is much better, and less time consuming options.
That's a hip flexor exercise.
If you aren't lifting your knees above hip level you aren't working your abs.
>it's another ab exercise is actually a hip flexor exercise episode
If you people actually trained your hip flexors you would know that your hip flexors burn like hell when they're the focus of the exercise. If you don't feel an insane burning sensation in your hips when doing an ab exercise, the hip flexors aren't being worked to a significant degree
