Full Core Workout Build Thick Abs & A Strong Core
Video taken from the channel: Mike Thurston
Crunches—sometimes called “ab curls”— may also engage the external or internal oblique muscles, especially when rotation is added to the movement. Abdominal crunches are an effective way to strengthen the front of your torso or core region of your body.From heavy get ups to heavy one hand swings, cleans, or squats you won’t find a better way to really strengthen and build core stability. Not only that, but as every single rep of your entire workout will be a core stability exercise, think of all the time you’ll save by not having to do any core specific work.

Your abs are part of your core, which are the major muscle groups of your torso. That’s why crunches, reverse crunches and other abdominal workouts can be a part of strengthening your core, as Harvard Health Publishing points out. But for whole-core results, combine them with moves like squats, lunges and planks.The answer is no. “When most people are doing crunches, they aren’t just wanting a stronger midsection, they’re looking for fat loss,” says Brian Bott, certified functional strength coach.
Sit-ups or crunches strengthen just a few muscle groups. Through dynamic patterns of movement, a good core workout like plank exercises helps strengthen the entire set of core muscles you use every day. For more ways to challenge your core muscles, read Core Exercises, a Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School.Instead of mindlessly trying to “strengthen your core” with a variety of crunches, work on building the attributes you need to improve your condition for the activities you care about. When you’re doing that, and with an emphasis on important details in your form, your core will get stronger automatically.
Crunches are a classic core-strengthening move. The act of lifting your upper body works your abdominal muscles. If you have low back pain, do.These exercises protect your back and neck, and target more of your abdominal muscles than crunches alone. Planks activate much more of the core: Set a goal to hold for 60 seconds before increasing.
Pushups are a great workout for building upper body strength and can strengthen your lower back and core. But are the benefits greater if you do them every day, or is that dangerous? We explain.crunches; situps; squats with weights It’s debatable whether strengthening exercises can actually treat a hernia, or if they just minimize your symptoms. Losing weight may improve your.
If so, then you’ve probably been told to “strengthen your core”. Most people equate this statement to going home and doing crunches, but we would like to offer you an entirely different opinion: doing crunches is the LAST exercise you should be doing if you’re struggling with a weak core and back/neck.If you want to really build up your core strength, try this full workout routine: Ditching the excuses is key Fifty crunches a day really is nothing in the scheme of things.If you want to strengthen your core, doing hundreds of crunches won’t help. In fact, you should stop doing crunches because they aren’t good for your back.
How to Tighten Your Stomach While Sitting. Whether you sit at a desk all day for work or you are confined to a chair because of injury or old age, you can still practice several exercises that tone your stomach muscles. The rectus abdominus, obliques and deep pelvic floor muscles make up your core.
Like situps, crunches help you build muscle. But unlike situps, they work only the abdominal muscles. This intense muscle isolation makes them a.

great video man! I love it! the way ur telling it! good teacher
Never do planks. They’re worthless. Work every angle of all your abdominal muscles yes, but the reality is, if you want ripped 6 pack abs, cut the trans fats out of your diet, and lower your salt intake. No matter how strong you get your abs they will never show through that layer of fat until you take the bullshit out of your diet, and you will never get that ripped straiation until you lower your salt intake PERIOD
I need a bar to hang off I’m screwed might go look for a tree
enough with these bs.Omg iam so sick of every “trainer” out there.Doesnt matter what exercise you choose!AS LONG AS YOUR DIET IS GOOD!AND MOST OF THE YOUTuBE TRAINERS ARE ON ROIDS!
Visit website called Next Level Diet and get complete guide for your transformation. I got personalized meal plan for 28 days which contains ONLY food that I have chosen. They provided me with complete DIET PLAN for 30 days with TRAINING PLAN included and I finally started seeing results.
What I like about all your videos, you show up what to do and what to avoid doing. And you show us common mistakes people do. I strictly follow all your videos on how to get things done. Thank you ❤️
Does this workout effectively hit the whole core including obliques etc or is it mainly designed for the abdominals?
Tell that dumb crap to Arnold Scharzenegger back in his body building days
Great video on how to get better-looking abs. I’m a Fan now! Keep posting Video
Is there a way to develop a smaller waist or is just solely related to genetics?
Don’t forget step 2: Get severe ab cramps and grasp your core in agony.
Any good exercise or two I should throw in with the same intensity for obliques?
How many bugs were killed during the production of this video….
I have a question mike. How much protein to i need to consume each day for building muscle and how many calories each day i have to consume?
Not only hes puuurty but I like how he said all in details about the breathing etc
Mike my dude, thanks for this. Im gonna go and do it this exercises for next month. wanna see how it will change it
Why do plank instead of push-ups? aren’t push-up the same exercise plus the benefits of push-up?
i just watched a vid by Arnold Schwarzenegger, he said to do at least 200 crunches per day, who do you believe?
Did you drink protein or not? I want to know how did you drink or eat? I wait for your answering under
I am currently doing 3 minute planks and was looking for some good ab strength building exercises.Good stuff!
I got an ad from the guy in the video, in the beginning of the video…
When I do a abs exercise, my back hurts more than my abs. Is that normal?
To get good abs first thing is you need to put your body feet below 14%
10.47 what muscles are there in his lower back? Its from his abs?
Excellent intelligent presentation. Definitely will incorporate these exercises into my routine. Thanks!
Good clean lads their parents must be very proud! Thanks from the UK.
How long have you been going to the gym for to get to where you are?
I feel like he is acting out of breath to make the rest of us feel good
You could maybe improve your video by adding some music but either than that great vid! 😉
As a 71 year old who has done crunches forever, the improvement in overall strength, stability and lower back pain reduction has been remarkable.
how do you work your core if your prone to nasty cramps from steroids
Hi Uncle, what ever you shown may not available at bruce lee time
I think it would be interesting to see an Jeff’s take on what parts of martial arts training (i.e judo, kung fu, karate ect.) might have carryover to home workouts now that everyone is a corona mandated bodyweight warrior
Needed to hear this I have that back issue you talking bout! Subscribed!
Great workouts. I stopped doing pull-down crunches on cables because it always seems to be murder on my elbows.
Where are the planks?!!! I’ll add them to this work. I also want to add. Guys, anyone afraid of the ball crunch can substitute with a dumbbell. But the ball crunch also activates muscle balance.
It’s crazy I gt six packs but thse food won’t Leme workout to show dem to u guys…

Thanks for the vid great as always, but you surprise me for once. No obliques or rotation movements what so ever?:S
You need more SUBS! Thanks for the upfront straight to the point videos!
help subscribe and see my video. I’m still a beginner and still learning to be better. thanks
I’m 5’8, 144 lb skinny-fat. How many years would it take a 22 year old to attain your physique? 5-6 years possible?
Jesus thanks so much I could never do hanging leg raises, and normal ones were too easy this was perfect
I’m sorry but there are way too many experts on YouTube with too many weird stuff lol.
Thought this was very well done. Quick breakdown of targeted muscles, good cover of variety for different fitness levels and progression, while not forgetting the importance of stretching the back, without going overboard.
Congrats.
Does anybody have any tips for inflammation. It seems like I fight this everyday when I try to stay in shape. I take turmeric everyday and I try to always try to keep my body moving but it’s freaking annoying. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis which means wear and tear on the muscles and joints over time. I’m only 17 and I’ve been dancing my whole life. I was always super active but never really started working out until about 6 to 7 years ago. But one thing I always struggled with was inflammation and physical fatigue. I’m sick and tired of it and I want it to stop. I want to eat healthy and get back into shape again. I’m very depressed and I need to do something about it but it seems like everything I do does not work.
You kept calling the rectus abdominis as the transverse abdomen and basically called two different muscle groups the same transverse name. know your anatomy
I started training to do one-arm push ups last year and I noticed that my serratus have started to show. I’ll start incorporating these exercises into my routine.
the bbq house up the street is responsible for me not having abs
is there anything you can do on a boxing bag to improve these muscles
I arrived here by chance. Very helpful. I like that. Thanks!
I can do 500 crunches not kidding, but I have lot of stomachache after that
im over here thinking “man, his abs are a a little uneven” while im carrying a distended bloated belly
It’s my genetics bro. I’m lazy and I have no self control when I eat. But that’s besides the point. It’s definitely genetics.
Will I die on my frist 30 days start at the gym because of course its a must for beginners.
Greg, this would be so much better without the background noise! (The so-called music.)
Eating my icecream while watching this. I got a long way to go…
So let me check is I got your point. U tell me to stop doing the most isolating ABDOMINAL exercise there is ( chruches) and replace it by movement that activates greatly also the other hip fleksors including psoas major/minor, TFL and iliacus muscle.. hmmmm dude u need to wake up xDD
i watched 1:27 and he referenced transverse abdominus where rectus abdominus is. dude has 0 understanding of anatomy fake vid
If I try to do a sit-up on a hard floor, my spine will actually cry
i find the cable crunch for abs is nice and all but I always get exhausted in my lower arms and grip strength, I cant like hold the weight and it starts burning in my lower arms more then my abs lol
fucks wrong with me xD
Just wondering I haven’t practice any martial art or Tae Kwon do Oh Do Kwan for over 20 years. Now my health levels are poorly, I have a good blood pressure 126 over 88 last checked average not bad for my age 49, I do sit on my backside quiet a bit well only 8 hours a day not court sleep time. Not too fat 68.5 kgs little tummy fat around the weight, height 155 cm tall. I am give you a rough idea of my health status, slight asthma and a brain tumor that is not growing or even a live for over 20 year now. I gave up Tae Kwon do for my family as it is dangerous and I got hit in the head several times. All I like to develop is more oxygen intake for my lungs to strength and more flexibly and little more strength, With your information do you feel that I could improve a lot of these asked question?
Just to clarify… your “rectus abdominus ” muscles run down the front making up the “6 pack” not the transverse as mentioned on here. Your transverse abdominal muscles wrap around you spine creating a safe belt.
There is no secret to boxer abs thats the case they just training boxing
Good day Everyone can I add reps if I already master these exercises?
Stop doing crunches and then ge says do bicycle crunches -
Bro can I burn my belly fat with crunches and situps and leg raises hope you can reply
Steve aside frombeing a great athelete and educator you´re a great human being. In ALL the ab workouts all I see these atheletes that break no sweat and make it seemsoeasy and after I follow their vids for a week I can master their move and start to feel that it´s innnnnnnefffffective and repetitive, but the movements are always hard which makes sence it is afterall training, even the beginner movement…. finally an athelete that says it how it really is and shows that it´s not easy even at a professional level really Steve you´re a great man thank you
you have PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL ABS?????? no you havint your right side is higher than the left side dumbass
100 dollar bill in your ass crack and you dont want to let it go..lol..tht was really a perfect example
Awesome Tap Brothers!!!!! Love what you teach….much Thanks!!!!
I think I’m doing this wrong because when I do this it starts to hurt or burn after 50
Any recommendations for a fractured upper back and lower neck? I fractured them about 4 years ago and I can barely do exercises because they usually hurt
I’m watching this coz u actually have the body structure that I wish to have
I am doing crunches for 1 months….
Alternate day…(means 12-15 days in 1 months)
I can see me abs…
I will start pull up ab exercise..
Along with crunches
He sounds like jack sparrow when he talks during a demonstration
Lmao recommends stopping crunches, but suggests planking .
I got ripped doing 4 sets of 100 sit-ups 6 day’s a week when training for the marines. May not b the best way but it is possible.
The next video you watch will contradict about half of what he says even though both of them will have a 6 pack.
Spinal flexion isn’t dangerous. Stop spreading such nonsense.
Hey Steve wanted to thank you for posting these videos for a beginner like me these videos are my go to and I’ve lost 20lbs and gained serious muscle definition since starting working out according to your videos. You’re the man keep it up.
i am into bodybuilding but this channel is still helpfull af
How meny should you do of each excercises or just to till failure?
I feel like Henry Cavill has given me lessons on how to train ur core
Real talk man, where did you get those shorts and what’re they called so I can cop a pair? Hope you see this. Thanks
Dude the very first exercise you did is vertical chair crunches lol:D so weather you involve any machine or just lay done and do situp it will be crunching exercises
Beginner: 3:27, 6:15, 9:30, 15:32
Intermediate: 3:59, 7:42, 10:38, 17:04
Advance: 5:30, 8:16, 13:30, 17:45
really great thanks love the beginner intermediate and advanced stages really useful
Bullshit…..sit ups and variations of sit ups to target the sides are the best thing to do
I’ve personally found ultrasound cavitation, and ice packs effective. Likely dangerous and toxic depending on what’s in your fat and how quickly and efficiently it gets out of your system. But effective
Thank you! This popped up when I needed it! Tapo Brothers I’m new to this! I do love it!
Why do you sound like your nervously presenting a high school project at the start
6:44 I was with you until the hundreds dollars inbetween the buttcheeks
I can’t afford this workout if I need a HUNDRED dollar bill to pinch during the plank…
i love you videos but the talking is too much please limit it
Baltimore MD needs more out door exercise gym park playgrounds and jungle gym bars……….live love life
One of the best video’s on abs online because at least you really know what you are talking about + have the form to show it. Thx for the inspiration!
The “secret” to boxer abs is no secret. It’s in the name… box
For 1. Ab Contractions, do you contract on exhale, let go on inhale?
I’m tellin you if you do that plank crunch with your feet on a chair it will have your mid section on fire
Bro please, i don’t wanna see your face no more… Every GOD DAMN time I click on some video an ad starts with your gingerbread of a head waving your hands at me and I can’t stand it anymore. I have to unsub you guys or something… I am sorry… so annoying…
Grappling uses the crunch movement.
Guard, sidemount, etc…
Dude you said stop doing crunches and than start doing crunches..Now we know why your abs are not straight…
Have you tried extended push-ups? They are done with you hands and arms out,as far as you can get them, in front of you. It seems to work the abs and core really well for me.
This is the only guy I’ve watched who is actually teaching you something and not flexing..He is a true teacher. Thank You Daai!!@Thats Good Money
Thanks a lot! Could you do a follow-up on the advanced versions like how to get to “side to side rolls with landing on all fours”? It looks like I dance:-) Wanna do that too!!!! The same with the third exercise (“Back crawls”). Somehow I’m able to move backwards but not forth……??
Can I get abs with this workout? Or only that suradus thing???
Side to side rolls advanced are fantastic and fun exercises, thanks a lot!
Excellent. You have a bright future. You explain yourself very well.
For being all about lean and functional, this video sure has a lot of fat that should’ve been trimmed lol/smh Looking forward to trying this sequence, tho!

අසූවෙනි දවස පැමිණ ඇති අතර වාර්තා වී ඇත්තේ හතක් පමණි අනෙක් අය වහාම පැමිණියහ
Suffering from a weak core and back pain, this seemed like a helpful set of exercises
Back crawls really cleaned up my house..but my tshirt is no more
i think i’m gonna do these on a tarp-covered gym mat, lying on the bare local ground is gonna get a few insects under my rash guard (or in my ears).
Am I tripping or this guy is doing every single hip flexor exercise in the book after he pointed out how useless they are? Lol
I’m 50lbs too heavy and need motivation to get back in shape. Thank you for making exercise videos that are well laid out, so it is more doable.
I’m 17 with no money and I’m weak, I want to ask you how you guys got into all this stuff and how I can too
You missed Christiano Ronaldo, is the ultimate ripped athlete.
Don’t listen to people with natural genetics, sit ups and crunches do make a difference
Thanks for your advices. I’m going to do it instead of crunches
Thanks for your advices. I’m going to do it instead of crunches
I’ve lost my fat stomach, but still got big moobs. Is there a way to work on your moobs?
For god fucking sake i don’t wanna see any of your bullshit primal fucking exercises
I have an ab bench, that lets you do cable crunches but sitting down, gonna try holding it to work my serratus like that tommorow! Maybe bust out my ab wheel too!
I have a six pack but I’ll feel pretty drunk once I finish ’em all
Say other things in the beginning or end of vid but not middle of vid stay on topic.
Love these down to earth guys, thank you for your service!!!
1:14 That’s the rectus abdominis. The transverse is a deep muscle of the abs.
Crunches give you back injuries!?
And I do the hollow exercises but my hip pops from time to time, any tips?
If your diet isn’t on point, you can work those abs till your blue in the face.made in the ole kitchen
5:49 man i loved those moves and that rhythm. Keep doing that plzzz
sitting up from the ground isn’t a functional movement?
have you ever worked on a car where you have to sit up after sliding out from under the car?
did you ever lay on your back at the beach and sit up?
of course sit ups/crunches are functional. functional is entirely dependent on your own personal circumstances
Hollow bodies seem interesting. Would supersetting planks and hollow bodies or crunches be efficient?
when you said in the beginning “we are all about lean and functional body and not bout getting big” instantly clicked with me. The purpose of going to the gym should be to get stronger in a way you could use it, not just for aesthetically good looking purposes.
Just put your headphone on and have fun

Selling programs with a Murray Rothbard shirt…
That made it for me, well played
Everything I do is scientifically incorrect if Jeff speaks up.
Hey Tapp brothers I am 15 and progressing in parkour I can climb walls but not rooftops. Please send me some tips and if possible make a video
At exercise 4 I only reslized just now lol that posterior pelvic tilt squeeze tilt activate abs while anterior pelvic tilt in squats activate lower back more it makes sense
Uhhh anything for a chubby guy that doesn’t have your ab strength yet? Lol
Thank you very much, you guys are a huge help. It is hard for me to believe that anyone dislikes this video.
Skinny fat, haven’t really exercised in years, I’m trying to change my life. Plank, side planks and hollow body, 10 seconds each, 3 repeats,(1.5mins later btw) could barely get off the floor after the last hollow body that didn’t even look like a hollow body. But I’m excited cos apparently this is how everybody starts and if I try this enough I should be eventually be able to plank and hollow body for hours
I remember we did that in football practice every year then they banned it from every football level they might still do it in the nfl but it works like hell and hurts for kids in pop Warner football maybe some in high school
I was researching poop sanitizing when this popped up
BROTHER Your PHYSIQUE is COSMIICALLY SACRED & DIVINELY ADORABLE; Together With Your ABS TRAINING GUIDANCE ABHRADEEP ( SCIENTIST, NANO-TECHNOLOGY; KOLKATA, INDIA )
Funny cus I have been getting back pain, neck pain and a bunch of other pains with any work out I do. Gonna start applying these everyday. I bought Plank Fitness book almost a year ago. It’s time I start using it. Haha
Core strenght gives you a healthy back, better posture, better digestion, combats back pain, more happy, protects your spine, etc. I do mcgill big 3 and it feels amazing!
Wrong!!!! Weak glutes are what cause an anterior pelvic tilt.
Yeah! First thing first work core & lower back if you got one stronger than the other just adjust them obviously do one until it’s in balance
Thanks for the lesson bro:D you were crystal clear and so is your body, you are such an inspiration!
Jeff, can you show us more variations with the ab roller to hit the core? I have been using mine frequently lately but I could use some advice on my form to better target all areas of my core. Thank you! Love your channel!
Question Mike, do you stay in this kind of shape all year long or do you allow your abs to disappear in the winter/bulking/off season? Thank you.
His the best fitness trainer there is..he explains every excercise to a T and what kind of muscles are involved..
Dude I was doing 500 pushups 4 days a week and I have abs n arms like that guy in the video
Thank you Steve for sharing these excercises and tips I will be adding some of these to my ab workout! I just have a quick question. I know you said to do ab workouts about 3 times a week, but is it ok to work out your abs daily? Or is there a downside to that?
Just smoke cigs, drink beer, and eat McDonald’s. Then pop opiates all day on top.
What about people who are struggling with posture (rounded shoulders).. should they do these movements?
Great Quality, Great content,Great tips man,I love your channel!
This is soo good exactly what I needed you’re the best Jeff definitely going to try these serratus anterrior exercises today!
And for obliques? nothing? this is the main mucle for a cross
I’m re-watching all of these video because of this Quarantine!
Love from Philippines!
BTW I did my daily face pulls Jeff don’t come again knocking in our door.
Im still going to do cruntches as well as a goood core workout also bruce lee did tons of exercises that can be detrimental to you spine I use the dragon flag as an example dut I think that it is good to tell people of the slit danger of crutches
Man just when I think he can’t find more painful exercises… I hate them in the moment but I love them and his coaching by the end them.
hey Mike, you should have been Captain Americas body double in the movies… or Henry Cavill in Superman….you look exactly like those boys..
5:34
am I the only one who gets headaches from this exercise?
oh geez I was really thinking you were about to say ‘it’s because they’re asian’ after those first two and I thought I’d never be able to achieve it
Is there any way to fix staggered abs. My left side is lower
Does this guy actually box I feel like he’s just a gym bro and would get knocked the fuck out
People are so contradictory about crunches on ytb, look at Jeff Cavalier he’s a physiotherapist and he does them in his workouts I just don’t know who to believe a anymore
Hmmm. Narrow base to drive more activation through the core. Imma try this
1. [ 2:39] plank ups
2. [ 3:25] serratus rollouts (ab wheel)
3. [ 4:19] serratus punches
4. [ 5:14] screwdrivers
5. [ 6:27] serratus crunch pulldowns
I found your channel through one of your adds. Your full of shit
I have done sit-ups and crunches…and it actually works tho…but sure I’ll try these see if they work faster or better
there’s something to be said for old school situps and crunches there functional strength exercises. your always sitting up and down every day.*
Me: does crunch rope pull down
Also me: ends up on gym fails
are the reset time after every set or after you finsh all of the reps
2:38 Plank 3:26 Ab Rollout 4:17 Band Punch 5:13 Screwdrivers 6:27 Crunch Pulldown
It is so good to watch natural truthful bodybuilders as you on Youtube.

The anatomy of the human body is soo fascinating ♀️
Gregary found this beneficial hope you don’t mind me adding something please.
Plank “Sagittal plane” side plank “frontal plane” I would add if you don’t mind a exercise “transverse plane”
Love too hear your feedback and exercise such as side plank with rotation??
Notes to Self:
1. Plank Ups 2:39 (Activate Serratus by actively pushing our body away)
2. Ab Wheel Rollouts 3:25 (Initiate by pushing your arms down and lengthening your arms by activating Serratus muscle and then do ab wheel rollout by holding that position)
3. Serratus Punches using a resistance band 4:18 (Push you hand as far as possible when punching with the band. If you are punching with your right hand, Keep Left leg forward and right leg behind it in a straight line, and stay on your toes on your back foot)
4. ScrewDrivers 5:13 (Push down on your hand and push your body away, and rotate to side whenever you come down)
5. Serratus Crunch PullDowns 6:30
Hehehe I didn’t notice anything in the pictures before he pointed it out…
Me, a girl watching this to get tips seeing the comments filled with only comments from guys:
Jeff is an organize person when it comes to the human body…..detail detail details love it…
Just a small point…, you got your anatomy wrong. Rectus abdominus not transverse…
I started doing these, but have a quick question. is there any significance between facing towards or away from the weight stack? Jeff Cavalier instructs to face away from the stack, while others instruct facing towards the weight stack.
I see more his body than my husband’s. He hardly wears a shirt.
I showed my husband his picture, this is a guy that really likes his body.

Great video fam, finally someone talking about obliques and lower back instead of just the abs!
Loooooong Blah Blah… ok maybe cool advises,. But doing all that in grass less hard surface ground. . Why not inside, on a plain clean surface That surely doesn’t look sensible right. You are definitely gonna get scratch bruises on your back… Tapp bros you need to TAP into the basics or else TAP out
This is so informative! Your communication style is so natural and calm and I love everything about this video! Thank you!
I’m watching this coz u actually have the body structure that I wish to have
Quadruped limb raises also an important exercise for core muscles (specifically upper back muscles).
Once I heard rectos-abdominis… I had to press that subscribe button.

How long is each exercise? 60 seconds xtinction or straight sets
28 Days Later… ⏰ I’m prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse ⛑☢⚛
Love all these but that’s a lot each day? Or like 3 a day. At 10 reps 2 sets of all of them that’s allot each day.
You sound like one of those scam commercials… “To get rich, all you have to do is this. Again log into this website to increase your wealth tremendously. Again to get rich, and if you do this, you’ll have all the wrath in the world. Log into this website to do this to become rich. That’s right, long into this website to have more time with your family and live the best. So login to this website to become wealthy. Don’t wait to find out how to become independently wealthy. Listen to our proven method and don’t take it from me just listen to our students who became unbelievably rich by doing just this one thing.
I was sceptical about doing this, but now I’m rich and have to only work 1 day a week and then I spend all day driving around in my sports car and with my family. All I did was log into this website.”
BLAH BLAH BULL SHIT! Stupid Ego Americans! Dumbass’
That’s a lot of work especially that pull up one, not many people can do that, but I will stop with the crunches and do some of these. Very good stuff . Dude knows The anatomy. One would need a gym or your park, that’s part of the hard work.
Just remember without proper diet you’ll never see a 6 pack in most cases.
I better look like Bruce lee after this, if not I’m coming for your 2k20 ps4 game! LOL
Too much talking just tell us how to do it! Also I didn’t know the body could even do this. Way to go!
Six pack is actually a genetic mutation and means the muscles aren’t wide as they could be
Ice jj fish got ripped up……thought he qas bouta start singing
Me watching this after I did 200 crunches and 100 sit-ups ;-;
@ 10:15 i was like, “aint no way in hell i can do that” but to my surprise i could get it. These are great. Thank you.
for anybody that reads this don’t forget nutrition is extremely important you can have your cheat day here and there but if you really don’t wanna waste your time stay disciplined with your eating habits appreciate you youngblood as a veteran in this game that plank was new to me I never saw that before I’m always looking for new techniques to trick my muscles
i always knew i was doing situps wrong when i realized i was using the momentum of my shoulders to push myself up
Pretty similar to movements I use. Now do each one for a minute each with only a 5 sec rest between.
Then you will feel it. My routine has 15 different movements. Destroys me everytime.
Sit ups and crunches will give you a hell of a v muscle if you do them right with correct form
can somebody time stamp the exercises so that we could refer back to the video for reference?
Dear stranger whoever reads this the coronas fake and Bill Gates is a little Fuckboi
If you dont get gains from situps yur either not doing enough or doing it wrong
That’s too many exercises man. Just show top three I ain’t got all day to train abs. Unsubd
How often do I do these exercises; everyday or every other day?
I almost gave up on this video. The audio quality is terrible for the first 3 and a half minutes. Skip it. Just tells you why crunches dont work. After that, a FREE audible book, then at 3:30, lovely audio sound and teaching out on the grass. Go there.
Wow, this is a super cool video!
Love how you show wrong and write positions!:)
7:54 hard asf… … practice makes perfect, I’ll get this
This will help all who lot… Crunches hurts your back to much
No, it is better than nothing at all. It is a really easy way to get into working out. People need to shut the fuck up
Crunches are helpful and possibly the only exercise available with a machine.. Those who feel that they don’t feel motivated without a machine they can do a mixture of these 2 types to get a best result as I have got
Being a professor at university I get only 20min per morning and running and core exercises will make you happy
Bro who knows how to help with sore muscles can’t even move rn
The dude in the back at 9:25 is everybody contemplating if they should try these exercises. Just try it. It can’t hurt. I mean it will hurt. But, you know what I mean. You can do it, I believe in you!
My brother who is 47 yrs old does this group and has never had any kind of belly.
all those clowns who swear you have to do as many reps as possible to work out yo abs, watch this video. Like any other muscle group, it’s more about the intensity! Clowns doing 100 sit ups with lousy form and wonder why they don’t have visible abs HAHAHAHA
Btw, lower und upper abs is a myth. They’re connected. You’re always working out all of them. It’s just that most people have too much fat around their waist, which is why their lower abs aren’t visible, and no you don’t necessarily burn stomach fat by working out your abs. Your genetics solely decide where your body is going to burn fat. Muscle and fat are 2 different forms of body tissue, and one can’t transform into the other or vice versa.
Weird, I do sit ups with by back straight and they’re 10x harder that way instead of arching your back.
1.7K Fat asses who despise all things healthy disliked this video
Been watching for 1.5 years……. I’m glad to see this channel blow up
Hay Steve, Tracey from South Africa thank you for pointing out the right way as a woman training you always want to know that you are on the right track thankyou for showing me that great workout will definitely add some new movements to my routine great work out ( [email protected] gmail.com
I have that muscle as well….. Yayyyyy
Oh wait…
Just realised it’s just my fudgin’ rib cage
all these people wanting abs and i just want enough core strength to push myself into a backbend and do cool tricks
Personally I think crunches are okay to do as long as it’s done once or twice a week. Sit ups though is pretty much a no-no.
Loving your open gym. Could you provide a DIY guide? Thanks❤️
I don’t even know if you come back to this specific video to answer viewers questions. Not seeing any recent ones within a few months. But I do have a few questions.
Would these exercises be good to do if you don’t want hard rock abs, but just want to get rid of a pooch tummy?
I know it sounds silly. I see a lot of information being geared towards diet but not much about the muscles in that area. I know everyone is different genetically and that goes for exercises for different parts of your body.
I don’t necessarily believe it’s only diet that’s a contributing factor, but possibly muscle breakdown in the stomach region. I don’t think it’s just fat, but muscle in the lower stomach/abdomen region I want tightened. To look lean, not brick-like if this makes sense.
Would following these exercises give my stomach that lean look as long as I don’t overdue the exercises? I know that these exercises do help the back and while that’s a plus, I’ve done them before with the help of a partner and didn’t realize they can be done at home by yourself too.
I’m also around 100lbs, give or take. Was 110lbs, but that was weighing myself one winter at a hospital (was visiting a family member in the hospital), that had a digital scale outside their door. But that was with layered clothes on at the time.
I also burn calories and am always eating little meals any chance I get. Considering buying an old fashioned scale (not digital) to understand my true weight in the midst of summer.
I could buy a can of chocolate protein to mix in drinks if need be. But want to make sure that it’s correct for my body type and food/protein intake needs for my specific body type.
In the last 2yrs, I’ve recently hit the 100lb mark. I’m in my early 30’s and have struggled to gain weight for my body height (5′ 7″) as a kid. But I swear I like food, but weight gain at the time halted at 95lbs. XD
This is just my background history for my body type, just so to know whether or not these kind of exercises is beneficial to me.
I don’t want to just jump into these exercises randomly. I know these exercises can benefit anybody. But not just any exercises are for everyone.
Where did you turn to get a basic idea to learn what works for your body?
I know people just get how to self train their bodies. Me, not so much. XD Any help is appreciated. ✨
I say it’s all about personal preference, I always hear all these trainers say don’t do that do this and other trainers say do this its all confusing and people end up doing workouts they’re comfortable with
That third exercise you did is FUCKED. I haven’t tried it yet but even with a fairly robust core I don’t think I’d be able to have such a good form, particularly towards the bottom of the rep. You got so low and managed to remain so straight without popping you bottom out. Definitely will have to give it a go.
yknow…everybody is always like “dont do it like t”his” do it like this!”
meanwhile, dude I dont even know…
ill just do situp and crunches, ill add some planking and squats but more than that…
i think will just demotivate me as im worrying about fucking up.
i think at this point its good im exercising AT ALL!
Greg, it’s been a couple years since I seen some of your older videos, I am now rewatching them. Such as this one right here.
I’m going to try this routine and see what happens.
I like the fact that you explained every single muscle involved and that motivated me even more.
to start training. Thank you.
This was a fantastic video. The quality was pristine. The gym, videography and the lighting……AWESOME…., the training session was yet again, another awesome video. Thank you so much for such great quality. The body truly is a fantastic and sculpted piece of physical art and what better way to appreciate it than when well trained
Why do the plank on the elbows? How is that better than on palms?
What about using one of those ab roller contraptions? Like the ab revolution. Are they worth doing?
Points to rectus abdominis and calls it transverse abdominis like 5 times. Open an anatomy book bro.
Thank you so much for this video. Will be following these exercises tonight at the gym. May i also say, you look a lot like you could be a stunt double for Henri Cavill ahah
Do you habe more ab muscle than usual or are they just more visble because of body fat%?
i AM a grandmother and damn right, i want to strengthen my core. thanks!
He said grandma wants them
Hold up let me ask her hey granny do you want abs
Granny who
Me nevermind
how did your lower back get so developed? at 10:45 i don’t know what is going on right there.
Most people cant do this shit, why would you tell them to stop doing something they can do that’s helping them progress?
This would be really helpful if you did it as a real time work out we could do along with you. As an information video I guess we’re supposed to write these down, try to remember what they are, and time it out ourselves more efficient to just follow along.
Must i do all in a session cos i cant do the pull up because of the hanging & is 3 sets of 10 reps good?
THE LIFTS ARE THE WORST FOOTBALL PRACTICE HAS SCARRED ME OF THEM.
I’m a thai boxer, come here for an abs routine suited for boxing, ended up watching how to get a aesthetically appealing serratus anterior
Yo these are hard asf. Abs are probs my least favourite, good vid tho.
Lovee this video bro ive been researching a lott but nothing made very much since till i heard this
And its not just because.. okay it is because I have abs. MUhahahaaa. Seriously though; solid routine!
great video and good instructions, now I need to put them to use and work on keeping my core strong, how long should I do each exercise? and how many times a day?
No, for however do crunches stop doing that now make core stronger you have to hang, lift in the aire, standing with some weights, so get yiu ass up, no crunches plzzzzzz.
As easy as it may sound only those who have tried knows how it feels
I have really stubborn mid section fat just below my chest all the way down. Been exercising like forever and ave seen changes everywhere else apart from that particular area. How do i get rid of it?
I can do one now. Soon, I’ll work my way up to two. Before I know it, I’ll be up to three. Then it’s ab city!
Does a body type depend on your fat or muscle loss/gain process?
what i have learned from your videos is that no matter what the exercise, the range of motion of any exercise should have the least amount of relaxed muscles. The more the muscles are tensed, the better the pump and growth. Thank you Mike!
thanks man… I appreciate it… I hate doing crunches anyway
Man, I’m So glad I found this video. I’ve been looking for ways to strengthen my core since I feel sit ups are a waste of time
Been following your page for a few years now found it extremely helpful used a lot of things especially after my back operation, but I haven’t seen a boxers workout I’m a professional boxer and would like to see a boxer specific workout.
My posture is horrible due to sitting most of my life. I want to have a stronger core, and better posture I will try this and add a couple of my own excercises as well. Wish me luck
Great video with a detailed explanation! Thank you for sharing
https://youtu.be/9lbPFvOAHfc?t=206 “For this exercise, we need to focus on minimal hip [ ]”… minimal hip what? hip swing, do you say?
I’m gonna try this but how you gonna tell us normal flabby mfs that sit ups and crunches a waste time with a body like that imma shut up and believe you because yo body look like that lol
I’m not much of a workout guy, and i don’t usually think bulging muscles are very beautiful, But damn I want your back muscles

Thank you very much. This looks helpful and ads some different things to do.

I don’t have parallel bars or pull up bars in my house and GA doesn’t have their parks set up like this. I need to move back to the Tri-State area.
Do you spend hours and hours in the gym? How did you pump up those muscles? You do look good.
