Mike312Cable crunches
Hanging knee raises
VACUUMS ...If these dont work for you your doing em wrong ...inhale deep and gradually suck your stomach in and hold to failure ...standing up of course
OneinamillionEven just strict decline sit-ups and hanging leg raises for 3 sets until failure twice a week is plenty. You’re not going to feel an ab ‘burn’ during a squat, but your core will be working to stabilize during the movement.
coolshirtbraI do cable crunches and they burn like hell.
Flex your abs like you're about to get punched before you do the exercise and it'll burn you right up.
TheFunOneIs that all you do ? How many reps/sets ?
bizownerYour abs will be worked regardless of feeling if you're doing heavy compounds. If you want to actually feel them then what exercises are you doing to specifically target them? Be hard to do cable crunches without feeling them
TheFunOneCable crunches.. hanging leg raises..decline situps etc..
I love to feel the pain when I train but I don't feel virtually anything om abs..I feel like I'm wasting my time as I don't feel them.
OP_rahAbs tend to need a bit of a pasting to get a burn. Try:
30 second plank
15 x weighted dead bugs
5 X half Turkish get up per side
10x candlesticks
No rest between moves, Rest 30 seconds after superset then go again
If your abs aren't burning after that then you simply aren't using them
TheFunOnethank bro, I'm going to try this routine.
Rope crunches. Tuck your elbows next to your ears. Try to get your elbows to touch your knees. Impossible to do without engaging your abs.
JohnJuiceThis exercise always gets me insane burning feels in a good way!
TheFunOneHow many reps/sets ?
Hanging knee raises and lying leg raises(lay flat on back, raise legs up till 90 degrees and back down 20 reps or so x3)and leg flutters (lay down on back, raise legs and put heels 3 inches above ground and raise up and down , 2 minute increments per set x3)
If those do not activate your core extremely....nothing will
TheFunOneThank bro, I'm going to try this routine.
