What Abdominal exercises do you do?

[min0 lee]

Two questions:

1. How often do you work abs?
2. What ab exercises do you do?

 

[FranktheTank]

1. Once a week
2. Sit-ups, db bends, and this move where you go on the ground on your elbows and toes and move body side to side.

I don't work abs. I think that get enough (not an optimal amount) work from core lifts. I hate doing ab isolation exercises.

 

[CowPimp]

I was doing an alternating 2 and 3 day split. 2/4 workouts included compound lifts meant to target the recuts abdominus, and 1/4 workouts includes a movement meant to hit the obliques.

I did situps, hanging leg raises, and side bends. All weighted as needed.

Haven't trained them for about 8 months but am back training them once a week
I'm currently doing a triset of ball pikes, crunches and alternating obliques.

[KentDog]

I try to do abs once a week with legs. I'll do weighted decline crunches, hanging leg and knee raises, and kneeling cable crunches.

 

[ponyboy]

I do core about once a week with a combination of flexion (rectus), extension (erectors), twisting (obliques) and deep muscle movements (transverse/mutifidus). Sometimes I throw in some plyometric/stabilization stuff on a wobble board just standing. I almost always use a Swiss ball for it.

 

[fUnc17]

weighted abdominal exercises once a week, on shoulder day. They get worked alot doing squats/deads... no need to work them anymore than once a week

Hanging leg raises
Weighted V-sits
Decline weighted crunches
Weighted crunches
Weighted swiss ball crunches

 

[cheesegrater]

every 2nd day.....routine is.....corkscrew hip raises, normal hip raises, reverse crunches, oblique crossovers, oblique crunch's, something called a catch (sort of a normal crunch where you come up and act like you're catching a ball from either side-oblique workout), toe touch crunch (legs perpendicular to ground), leg up crunchs, either normal crunch or frog legs crunch, and an extension back exercise........i do one set of each, 12 reps right now, add a rep every other workout, rest 5-30 seconds in between sets.

my stomach is like a fucking brick wall right now.
