Thoughts on captain’s chair knee raises? I prefer to use the crunch machine for abs but if it’s being used by someone else I’ll do CC knee raises. I feel it pretty good during the final reps of each set. Are these good for building ab muscle or am I wasting my time by doing them?

holy frick I actually laughed out loud when I saw this image. Wtf
I refuse to believe there's a single person on IST that can do this lift.
It's not that hard, fatty.
Seems like going over the top. Could just go to parallel and straighten the legs.
Inferior to hanging leg raises.
what's the difference ?
Hanging leg raises gives you a better stretch on the eccentric portion of the exercise, inducing more hypertrophy
hanging is definitely more advanced, it has a greater range of motion and requires more control on the eccentric portion. grip strength is probably the limiting factor for lifters who are not advanced
Any "hanging" leg-raises are good for core/pillar development. I'd say they're the best.
Gay as frick. Just do crunches on the floor with a plate if you can't use the machine.

>but lying on the ground in a vulnerable position isn't
What
In the second pic they add hair to his ass. Why?
He's doing photoshoots all day to demonstrate exercises, you think he has time to shave his ass???
Excellent if you have the ability to do them with your hips infront of you. If they move behind you, no.
Honestly whenever I do weighted crunch shit like this all the difficulty just comes from holding the fricking weight between my feet without dropping it and not the actual lift
You need ankle weights.
first hanging leg raises until your grip fails and then immediately go to captains chair and continue leg raises to failure.
Preferably use the dip bars and not the padded forearm rest.
What's more harded:
Ring Support Leg Raises
or
Ring Hanging Leg Raises
?
Ring support no doubt. Ring HLR isn't much harder than HLR from a bar.
ab wheels will do more good op.
If you're worried about gaining ab size then you're still too fat and still too small overall. Sorry, but it's the truth.
>doing this at gym
>while naked
My thoughts are that you shouldn't.
