>stop doing crunches you can't spot reduce >abs are made in the kitchen
Ok, why is all ab advice apparently aimed at fat people? I want abs and I'm not fat. I'm scrawny I weight 140 and am 5'10. I am already doing compounds but I want abs too. My abs aren't really showing that much, what should I do to make them better?
Literally just having low body fat will give you visible abs
Brayden Stewart
Cable crunches and leg lifts/TTBs. Everything else is garbage.
Nolan Cox
I have those abs that look visible if I'm standing far away but don't really pop out close up. There has to be some kind of exercises I could be doing to make them more defined. It can't all just be body fat percentage. Every other muscle grows when stressed so why is exercising abs somehow illogical?
are abs are meme? i always have my shirt on anyways.

>Unironically Ab wheels Shit always beats me up, but can feel my core being put to work
Nolan Phillips
That's just not true for people who have never worked on their core or have the right ab genetics. You are going to need to do direct abwork while eating at a surplus to make your abs grow.
Angel Moore
The secret is cable crunches. 12-15 reps, and really squeeze at the bottom. Thank me later.

>I'm already doing compounds hmmmmm maybe isolation would help?!?!?!?!
Brayden Campbell
>assuming people on Veeky Forums actually lift I should know better. But if you do heavy compounds with good form, you will have a strong core, and thus-abs at lownbf%

Buddy all you gotta do is hang from the pullup bar and bring your knees to your chest 3x15 Eventually youll get strong enough where you can have both legs straight and bring them way up like youre kicking your head, both legs together straight up. Also do lots and lots of pullups, bringing your knees to your chest as you come up.

Ab roll outs with hard anterior pelvic tilt contraction

>bro stop doing squats all you need is low body fat to have visible quads >bro stop doing curls all you need is low body fat to have visible biceps >bro stop doing deadlifts all you need is low bodyfat to have visible back muscles

>abs are made in the kitchen abs are made by hitting abs by at least 10 different variations of crunches/sit ups/leg raises
even doing one exercise like crunches will not make them visible but will improve core strength immensely
>stop doing crunches is most retarded advice, stop doing an exercise because the result may not be visible
Jack Sanchez
I like to do leg lifts and planks with a weighted vest or a backpack with a plate in it and also I do weighted situps on the decline bench with a 10kg medicine ball I also like to do ab roll out with a bar with 1 plate either side so you have to actually force it to move and control the momentum i'll do atleast 2 of those throught my 5 day routine
Luke Anderson
the reason I do everything with weight is because for heavy squats I like to have a strong core

Adam Bell
So I'm able to do cable crumches, 15 reps with 100lbs on the machine pretty easily but they're still not as visible as I'd like them to be. Do I just need to cut more?
Dominic Sanders
Reason not to do sit ups, is it can jack up your back
Jonathan Scott
Abs are made in the gym and revealed in the kitchen.
Dominic Turner
Developed abs will show at a higher BF% than underdeveloped abs. Only ablets cut to 10% to see their abs.
Carson Cooper
Keep exercising. Cable crunches, pull-ups, and squats all use abdominals.
