Does Anyone Have Nice Abs Without Doing Leg Raises?

For some reason leg raises hurts my back because I do the swivel motion to work my sides too. Last time i swung out and felt my spine go click. been hurting since.


I'm just doing situps now + weight.


I'm thinking of stopping leg raises altogether. will I have a petruding lower belly? Pls respond

2022 and people still think ab workouts will get you abs

Lmao

You cant make this chit up


Edit: srs reply. You dont need to do abs. 98% of the people you see with good abs never train abs, just gain muscle and have a low bodyfat and your abs will show

This is true.

But if you want to still build your abs, think about where they connect (pelvis to sternum) and pick a movement that will give you a good concentric contraction between those points.

Leg raises will offer you more of an isometric contraction, so they're not as effective at stimulating your abs as a crunch type movement against resistance.

Lol. I always had abs because i'm skinny. That mind set is terrible and wrong.

Work your abs, they will grow and the core strength is super important for every other athletic activity.

I'm not sure I'd be taking advice from Ratfish on how to get a six pack.

That would be like asking Muzzlrpress how to grow your calves.

I’m not sure what to even reply to this. Working out a muscle builds it? Crazy times.
I think you’re referring to visible abs, which can only be seen with lower body fat, but you still build the abs muscles by doing crunches, leg raises etc.
Remember the guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else.

Some, not all, of puffy lower abs is intestinal bloat which can be decreased by a good digestive enzyme and probiotic.

This helps crack the lower back pain free and helps the abs

this helps the lower back
