Are u training ur legs

Ur legs might be too weak for the movement. Similar to ur wrists give in quicker during a deadlift

Nice one brotha . That’s my squat goals.

Yea I do squats and jogs maybe I have to stretch?it’s just weird that my legs hurt during an ab workout

It’s core movements so it engages them def

Try stretching if that doesn’t help ditch them for cable crunches & do a fixed leg raise at 45 degrees. It should help strengthen them

Go harder with ur squats at a narrow stance to strengthen ur quads. Am assuming the pain is in that area ya?

Yea def the quads do you think it’ll be better to just stick to regular crunches and an rollouts until I strengthen my legs more?

396 idk if that counts

Starting to give up on the ab dreams, chest shoulders back and legs all looking super nice but no ab definition at all.

Do both

Squat 2x aweek & do the leg raises 2x a week

It’s a relatively easy motion for such a big muscle group so you’ll get used to it relatively quick

Once u get ur quad endurance to take u to 15-20 leg raises start focusing on engaging ur abs to get the most contraction

You’ll be good to go in a month or 2 max

Yeah this works ab contractions is also something I struggle with as well I heard it’s all in the breathing tho

what's your current weight, bf approximation and are you bulking/cutting or maintaining?

5'9 155lbs I think bf around 15 percent haven't measured yet. Just tryna maintence my way into being shredded. Contemplated bulking but still progressing nicely on strength every week since gym came back

155lbs should be lean enough to have habs but some people need to get at even a lower body fat to make the abs pop. slight caloric deficit should do the trick for a month or two imo.

cable crunches best bang for your buck

I've only really been isolating training abs once a week after leg day. Assumed squats and deadlifts would be enough to get some good definition.

they're not for most people

cable crunches, cable twists and leg raises two-three times a week you'll definitely see progress

What about slow tempo weighted sit ups?

sit ups are good but I avoid them to avoid any back complications

are you looking for bodyweight ab exercises?

Uhhhh idk, something i can use weight with tbh

You’ll get there quickly bro. Squat 2-3 times a week and focus on progressive overload(add about 5 lbs per week). Stick with a program that has you squatting 3-5 sets and 5-8 reps. I recommend 3x5.

Abs are really all about body fat and body fat distribution. Weight is irrelevant(although less weight is usually lower body fat). But yea, you’re probably higher body fat than 15% Bc that’s typically where the ab outlines start coming in. Cut to around 12% or less and you should have no difficulty seeing your abs in any lighting. For your current weight, that means losing 5-7 more lbs of fat.

Ab exercises are pretty irrelevant to ab definition especially when you’re not already low single digit body fat. And at that point you’re so lean that there’s really no reason your abs shouldn’t already be super pronounced. So yeah, if abs are your goal ignore any crunches or ab exercises and just cut more fat. The best ab exercise is the squat(any heavy compound) which you should already be doing !

No correlation tbh. Unless she actively tries to squeeze that WAP on you

Bench press or shoulder? Either way it’s prolly a minor pec issue. I get that sometimes, it’s prolly due to one side(your left pec) misfiring too early/explosively or carrying more of the load(your bar path was a bit uneven on a few reps).

Should go away in hours or few days at most, if not could be pectoral damage

No it doesn’t

you guys Im getting some comments on weight loss and some people didnt recognise me at first. Lets go!

Yup p much it

good s*** my g

Now it’s time to pack the muscle
