Are sit-ups a waste of time? Can you actually get decent ab development with them?

Yeah but here’s what you should do
>leg lifts
>roll outs
>wood choppers
yeah you can get plenty of development
you should do a number of different exercises, though
Yeah but they're not the end-all-be-all ab excercise. You gotta introduce variation to stimulate muscle growth. Personally I would recommend wood choppers.
post body/abs?
You just need to do full body training with exercises that put your spine under load such as Squat, Deadlift, Barbell Rows, and anything similar. Do that plus get a low body fat percentage and you will a have abs. Mike Israetel Agrees with what I just said.
Whom?
maybe im just a dyel boomer but i never did wood choppers in my life. is this just a meme?
Nah best way to work your obliques
i'll try it next time... basically only do lateral bending moves for obliques, not rotations
Are those good abs?

>dat expression
You jelly?
>basically only do lateral bending moves for obliques, not rotations
They don't allow gays in heaven
Pretty sure my abs are going to be like that if I decide to cut down that far. Squares with a deep/wide center line.
Says who?
Leviticus
based and mosespilled
Google him
Situps tend to not be as effective as planks, hanging leg raises, dragon flags, and ab roller for me.
Unless its weighted incline situps/crunches.
But I dont have an incline bench at home...so consistency is the problem.
You can but here's the thing:
>You're too fat to appreciate any ab development
Abs do not spring out 2 inches and explode forth through fat. Your bodyfay is too damn high. You need to be very lean
Getting visible for most men requires a body fat percentage of like 12% or less, a lot of guys workout every day and even do daily ab workouts but aren't getting abs simply because they're diet doesn't encourage fat loss.
The saying goes "abs are made in the kitchen" and it's pretty true, sit-ups and callisthenics make your abs stronger but if you want washboard abs for the ladies you're gonna have to work on your diet.
weighted chin ups are the best exercise ever and you should treat it like a competition lift
I've never had such strong ab doms the day after then i do with chinups, also builds the shit out of your biceps and lats, lats are one of the most important and yet overlooked muscles to train, and chinups built my biceps better than curls, infact I've stopped curling all together for the last year almost and my biceps have not shrunk and have gotten bigger since i stopped just through adding weight to my chinup
theyre better than doing nothing, but if youwant a solid core that looks great
turkish get ups for obliques, swiss ball weighted crunches for upper abs, hanging leg raises for lower abs, and ab roller because
>one closeted faggot writes that gay bad
>"THIS IS THE WORD OF OUR LORD"
Christianity is just advanced cuckolding
Second that. Chinups are divinely powerful
No, they're dogshit and a waste of time.
Id say you need weighted ab excercises to actally get decent mass on your abs
Planks are better
no
Most ab development comes from squats and pull ups
yea, no. They require good abs development but are not enough.
>small as fuck
>abs are shit
>shekels his "abs routine"
jefff... never change
autistic cope: the post
Is that how you're supposed to use the ab wheel?
Never heard of her. Sounds like a black girl.
I do planks, side-planks and L-sits in a circuit and also superman holds. Much healthier for abs in the long-run and don't need a gym mat.
No idea
It works my abs more, so that's the way I do them.
Can only do 10 standing ab roll outs versus ~30 on my knees (what picture in manual shows).
I only do knee ab rollouts as dropset to standing rollouts now.
Various planks + bicycle crunches are my go to.
Sit ups are a waste.
Add weight, do less reps to build muscle. Don't forget your obliques. If you're doing more than 10 reps per set, add more weight.
Do cardio and eat well if you're a fat cunt to lose the fat.
Cable crunches, can't say it enough. If you're not doing them you're a fucking retard, the weight should be well over 120 lbs(low balling).

Again heavy weight, ignore weight shown in these videos
Hanging leg raises WITH WEIGHT, hold a dumbbell between your feet, a smaller weight is fine to start but add more as you get better.
bodybuilding.com
Side bends, with a dumbbell or plate in your hand, you may look fucking stupid while you do them, but your abs won't.

Decline Russian Twist. Use actual weights, start lighter 25lbs go heavier.

>Decline Russian Twist
>Do it anyway
this dude is mentally handicapped
They work (assuming you are lean and don't have a layer of fat covering your abs), but there are tons of better ab exercises variations.
