Most people overcomplicate ab training by treating them differently than every other muscle Train them with resistance, to failure & progressively overload them Cable crunches are an S-tier option: * ribs to pelvis * minimize hip movement * slow stretch to the top

You don’t need 17 ab exercises. You don’t need 500 crunches. You don’t need to “confuse the core.” Cable crunches + leg raises are enough to build thick, defined abs. Then comes the boring part: Get lean enough to see them. Add weight. Add reps. Progress. Abs are muscles. Stop training them like a punishment.

With summer right around the corner, those abs BETTER be popping... If not, welcome to ab training 101: - All I've done for years is 2 sets of cable crunches 2-3x/wk - Like anything else, you must progressively overload - Make sure you think "chest up & flex your spine" on the way up for a good stretch - And think "bring chest to hip" on the way down to really hit em - Most important step...lose body fat!!! Voila! 🪄 (Honorable mention to crunch machine and leg raises *when done correctly*)

Here’s my ab workout! Your abs should be trained just like any other muscle group — with weights and going to failure each set while progressively overloading. I hit mine twice a week. “Abs are made in the kitchen.” Yes, you need low body fat to see them, but the bigger and denser your abs are, the less lean you have to be for them to pop. #abs #workout #fitness #bodybuilding #gym

What I do for ab training 99% of my training is the ab crunch machine I do 3 sets to failure every Mon-Thurs-Sat I rotate the order every time. So on Monday I'll do Abs before my workout and Thurs I'll do them at the end of my workout etc. I also log my ab lifts as well. I train it like any other muscle, with progressive overload. I'll throw in hanging leg raises a couple X's a month Diet will reveal what you've been working on SIMPLE!!

The abs are treated like a special case for no good reason. Every other muscle in the body grows through progressive load. Add weight, hit the rep range, recover, repeat. Then we get to the abs and suddenly the protocol is bodyweight crunches, sit-ups, and leg raises. Sit-ups recruit the hip flexors more than the abs. Leg raises do the same. The exercises everyone does for a "core workout" are mostly working the muscles that pull the thigh towards the chest. Weighted cable crunches. 4 to 6 reps. Add a kilo a fortnight. Watch them grow like every other muscle. The rectus abdominis didn't evolve on a different planet.

Stop training your core like your spine is disposable. Crunches and sit-ups get all the attention, but they repeatedly flex the lumbar spine under load — not ideal if your back is sensitive. Side planks are different. They train your core to do what it’s actually built to do: 1. resist unwanted movement 2. stabilize your spine 3. support your pelvis 4. strengthen your obliques and quadratus lumborum 5. activate your glute medius 6. improve balance and postural control And they do all of this with minimal spinal flexion. That makes them a more spine-sparing option for many people compared with traditional crunches. The best part? You can scale them easily. 1. Start with knees bent. 2. Hold for 10–20 seconds. 3. Keep your ribs stacked over your pelvis. 4. Breathe. 5. Progress only when you can hold clean form. Your core is not just for looking strong. It’s for keeping your spine, hips, and pelvis working together. CTA: Try 2–3 short side plank holds per side today and notice which side feels weaker.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TAKE ON WINDMILLS: "There are windmills all over the place and they are losers." "China is very smart. They make them, they sell them for a fortune. They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don't use them themselves." "They're shocked that people continue to buy those damn things. They killed the birds. They ruined your landscapes. Other than that, I think they're fabulous, by the way. Stupid people buy them."

Carney is moving forward with the high speed train boondoggle. Canadians are struggling to afford the basics, yet Carney is going to stick them with the bill for his pet project that isn’t even among the top 1,000 priorities for most people. The government is broke and Canadians shouldn’t be forced to pay for another government train boondoggle.

We need to start treating (white people) like infants. When you see an Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, no, you should look at him and say: “This is the richest baby in the world.” We are better than white people at everything, better than them at every single thing.

Ab training simplified to make them thicker. Thicker the abs, the more they’ll pop out even at a higher body fat. Train them 3-5x a week. Day 1: Do some variation of a weighted crunch. I’ll hold a 25 lb plate behind my head, elevate my feet on a bench, and focus on a good contraction with a pause at the top of every rep or do a cable crunch. This is going to primarily work your upper abs. Day 2: Do some sort of leg raise variation. I either do toes to bars or elbow/hanging supported leg raise holding a DB between my feet. This is going to primarily work your lower abs. Day 3: Do some sort of core bracing movement. I either do a weighted plank, ab wheel, or russian twist holding a medicine ball or DB. This is going to primarily work your obliques. Day 4/5: Either a mixture of all 3 above or hammer whatever I feel is a weakness. Using this method over the years is how I’ve built a strong core along with thickening up my abs. Diet is going to reveal the abs. Training them with weights are what’s going to grow them and get them to pop more just like any other muscle.

You can't have this kind of smooth conversation with an average Nigerian woman without spending money. She'll just be looking at you as wasting her time. If you want to have a proper conversation with them or put a smile on their face, you must have to take them on an expensive date and have spent heavily on them to prove you're serious about them. Even the ones with no nyash, no breast, and are ugly will still be acting as a top tier babe. Now, imagine the ones with nyash and are beautiful will be feeling like? Obviously more than Merlin. Na to go to Uganda when I'm ready to settle down.
