Why did it become normal to never train abs?
During the 2000s and early 2010's abs was the 1 thing everyone trained, even if they didn't actually lift or do anything else
All the most popular fitness YT videos were "how to get abs in 30 minutes at home" and now no one trains them
Is it the influence of powershitters?
HE'S A FAAAAAAAG
Personally I find abs training boring. Also most normies want them but don't train hard enough to get them, or any result
You oughta know sweetie

Asians don't even look like that without tons of plastic surgery.
Answer the question pls
People realized that abs are made in the kitchen, and the idea of spot treating fat got debunked. Go on a diet and do weighted crunches, that's the only ab advice anyone with the slightest credibility will give.
>abs are made in the kitchen
meme
heaps of dyel have super low bodyfat and no abs
They're usually skinnyfat and/or still wat like shit
>wat
Eat*
>skinny
>eat like shit
no they are just not athletic.
abs being made in the kitchen is the biggest joke ever.
Long term body fat is more determined by muscle mass and activity, because muscles continue to consume calories up to 36 hours after activity.
So you cannot judge total caloric consumption by just the activity of a single workout.
ladies and gentleman we did this, the most moronic take of 2024, fatsos are secretly muscular as frick because body fat is determined by muscle mass, lmaooo what, are you on moron
It's genetics. When I was 5'10 135 lbs I didn't have abs but you could see the joints in my ribcage and other creepy stuff.
would ejaculate inside of about 24 times per day, even if it meant losing my comfy job, gains and social life (i have none of those)
During those years you were a teenage twink and now you are old. Abs are still cool among teenagers.
Also, people can't get abs, so they changed form. It's a milder form of healthy at every size.
>Abs are still cool among teenagers.
I only ever see/hear about older people training them
zoomers never do
Are you in high school?
most people have no idea how to actually train their abs to work in the way abs are supposed to work, so they develop issues such as what my picture is detailing.
Ab training is seen as not useful for bodybuilding because people generally train them wrong and actually train themselves into pain and biomechanical disadvantage
Your average fitness influencer tends to not have a deep physical therapy background because they are morons that are trying to make it on youtube because thats the only thing they are capable of doing
Abs aren't complicated to train.
Do situps.
>lower-mid
do crunches
>upper-mid
wow such hard much crazy.
>obliques
You want internal or external?
if external reach out from right to left knee, vice versa.
If internal move side to side.
Congrats that is all it takes.
Ab wheel doesn't do anything.
Leg ups are just reverse situps.
Yall homies will do anything other than just put the work in on situps.
>inb4 some homosexual says ab wheel and yet he can't even do situps without someone holding his legs.
congratulations, you have successfully trained someone into a pathological spine
again I say, not many people know how to actually train their abs in the way they are supposed to work. You even brought up a tool that actually does train the abs in the way they are supposed to work, and you shit on it. This is exactly my point, thanks for elucidating it even when I made the exclamation that most people dont know how to train abs,
>not many people know how to actually train their abs in the way they are supposed to work
How to train abs correctly? More stabilisation ie planks, candlesticks etc?
>generations of people do situps with no problem
>"Ackchually they did it wrong because basedence says..."
lol frick you.
Post abs
>ab wheel doesn't do anything
Kek, horse shit. Just because you don't know how to use it properly doesn't mean it is worthless. To be fair though, most people I see use them get it wrong. Usually by letting hip flexors or arms/lats take over.
I think sometimes I let my arms/lats take over, any advice?
>do crunches
Do hanging leg raises instead
>inb4 muh grip
I fell for the "barbell compounds are enough for abs" meme for far too long. I have ok, visible abs but they are underdeveloped relative to the rest of me because of skipping abs. Now I just add in in a few sets of ab roller or leg raises in every workout.
Same reason dyels dont train obliques. They think they will become "too bulky" and ruin their aesthetics. Zoomer coworkers starve themselves and are low body fat with no abs and im 27% bf with visible abs because i almost maxed out the abs machines at my gym. They think if they train abs they will have something similar to a roid gut. Normies are fricking stupid
so what are the best ab exercises?
Sit ups and leg raises, both come in various forms. They also cause back pain, but the cure for that is to do elevated back extensions to strengthen your lower back muscles and, as they say, “unfrick your spine”. Every time I get a pump there, it feels like I’m wearing a personal lumbar support and it’s so cooomfy!
Swiss ball pot stirrers are good. You can vary the intensity by changing body position, so newbie or advanced both benefit. Natural carry over to ab wheel.
> Is it the influence of powershitters?
powerlifters are one group that actually trains their abs since they need it for their lifts, I think everyone got over the squats and deadlifts are all you need for core quickly but they did hold on to the compounds are all you need to grow for. Le bang for your buck.
All you need for ab workouts is a plank variation and a compression variation.
are planks really that good for ab hypertrophy? they feel like cardio more than a weightlifting excercise
Front squat 1.5xBw
Rope climb without using your legs
Do these and no dumbass crunches are necessary
The idea that "abs are made in the kitchen" and that spot exercises of abs don't work that was pushed a lot the past decade
>Why did it become normal to never train abs?
Powershitting. "Compounds are enough".
If you
>Squat or deadlift for three months in a novice program
>Do sprint intervals
>Play soccer, basketball, surf, paddleboard, kayak
>Do any moderate intensity yoga or exercise classes
you will have abs under your fat.
Only sedentary skinny men don't have abs.
