    Glad to see the emphasis on building abs. I've been lean/skinny my whole life and my abs ONLY look good and pop when they are big and strong enough. The best example of this is strongmen. Some of them are at obviously higher bodyfats and yet still have ab definition. Their abs are just fricking massive and pop out like pecs.

    Many beginners tend to just swing their legs when doing leg raises - mainly stressing their anterior hip flexors rather than their lower abdominals - for that reason I would start with reverse crunches just off the end of the bench where you can extend and contract your lower abdominals to initiate and continue the raising of the hips. Once you've strengthened the lower abdominals, and got used to using them - which can often take quite a while - then add in some leg raises but now doing them properly by initiating them with the lower abs.

    Hi Jeff, been using macrotracker for a while now, and I've settled on a confortable 150~~ calory defict, thats like, "0.3%" or maybe less on the weight loss, but I've noticed fat being lost while maintening the same weight. Went from 77~78 with 20% fat to 77ish with 15% fat in a few months doing that. Feels more confortable, and also teach you that nutrition is something you change forever, and not something you change only for some short-term goals.

    I've been doing leg raises, but the cable crunches is something I wanna add into my sessions for sure. Great advice, I like how simple and clear everything in your videos always is. I don't necessarily want to lose a bunch of weight, but improve my eating habits, consistently take proper amounts of protein and creatine, and also do plenty of walking and cardio each week. My goal is to be a similar weight, but to replace that fat with muscle and lean mass.

      Don't overanalyze things, dude, get a gym bro, and start your journey with him, or get a trainer to properly introduce you so you get familiar with the machines and exercises. You will make mistakes like every newbie and even regulars. But you can and should optimize things while you are on it. Watching videos will only distract you and hold you up from getting out there. And don't forget: the next summer is coming soon... Good luck!

Will try to do that 3-5x a week. Have started taking creatine before and will start drinking protein shakes after my work outs as well since you mentioned it in the video.

    Hands down the best ab video I've seen. Idk why people tend to train abs differently to other muscles - they need a normal amount of sets (with adequate rest times) and reps with progressive overload. The 'abs are made in the kitchen' is the most infuriating myth that I believed when I started training. Yes some people naturally do have a six pack without training, but for most - training is essential for proper ab development.

      The vast majority of human beings stow fat in their midsection first so this has led to a lot of myths and misconceptions about how the abdominal muscles work and what we have to do to make them seeable.

      To be honest I've never heard people bring up the excuse he brought up in his video for not training ab muscles. No one I've ever talked to has said "theres no point in working abs because abs are made in the kitchen." The argument that I've heard more commonly, that Jeff didn't address is this: there's no need to specifically target your abs if you're primarily doing heavy compound movements, like squats, overhead press, weighted lunges and farmers carries, as well as exercises like pullups and dips since they already work your core so much. And really, unless you're only using machines, if you're using free weights, you will be engaging your core in almost everything you do.
      I've always thought of abs as biceps or forearms or grip strength. If you're working hard and heavy you will develop all of those things naturally. I've never isolated to train grip strength or forearms. But guess what, I deadlift twice a week and do farmers carries and my forearms grow and my grip strength increases.

    This is the most sensible advice I have seen. So many people think doing their silly little leg kicks will get them a nice six pack. I always tell them that's basically cardio, you really need to add weight to get your abs to pop with low body fat. I do the same exact two exercises as well, weighted crunches and hanging leg raises. Great info, hope this helps a lot of people out.

    • @Zenith-pq7qh
      @Zenith-pq7qh Před 3 měsíci +2

      He de-emphasizes most bodyweight exercises because their intensity is incrementally harder to increase in comparison to weighted exercises.
      If you’re increasing reps and intensity with bodyweight ab exercises consistently, it is going to be highly effective. It’s purely circumstantial, you just have to utilize your environment properly.

    @michaelcozzitortoiii5350 Před 3 měsíci +97

    A couple things to add: I also really love a decline crunch. You can use the decline bench press that no one uses and you can progressively overload it by holding a dumbbell at your chest. Crunch machines are also great. Also remember to curl your back on the leg raises. If you struggle even with the bent knee, captains chair version, a reverse crunch is a good regression to that. You can work your way up from reverse crunch bent knee to straight knee, captains chair bent knee to straight knee, and finally hanging leg raise bent knee to straight knee, which it you’re doing it correctly very few people will get to. I usually only do 2 sets on the captains chair because my reps drop off hard on that 3rd set even with long rest. That’s how you know you’re doing it right. Another underrated exercise is the ab wheel which can also be done with a barbell, it’s a purely stretched focused exercise (kinda like an RDL), my abs have never been more sore doing that exercise. That should give everyone a little bit more variation. Also I’m sure you know this Jeff but “3 sets of 20” is not doable unless you’re not going close enough to failure. For me it looks something more like 3 sets of 20, 16, 12.

    2000kcal in week 0-2
    1800 kcal week 2-4
    1500 week 4-8
    150-200 gr of protein/day
    No oat, no bread (only protein bread), less spaghetti and co ... more eggs, steak, chicken, cheese with reduced fat, Salat, Fruit... working out 5 days a week, walking 10k steps per day it burns more than cardio eventhough cardio is necessary for everyone.

    I’m glad he pointed out his 4/6-pack appearance at ~10% body fat, because the truth is that bf% is not going to look the same for everyone. Some people will see abs early at slightly higher percentages, others late at lower ones (that’s me…hooray!) and some simply won’t have the full 6-pack within reason.
    Acknowledge where you are now, better yourself, and feel good about the progress you made. That’s more important, healthy, and fulfilling than trying to look like a Baki character.
    PS reasonable methods of finding bodyfat% - aka Navy Method, calipers, or picture comparisons - are not going to be completely accurate and will have some serious margins of error. However, they’re still better than nothing, and I don’t think that anyone besides the people whose entire lives revolve around aesthetics and fitness will find DEXAs or MRIs a reasonable option.

  • @leonsmuk4461

    Lost 8KG of weight over about half a year, sadly about ~1KG of that was muscle. I'm at down from 22% to 17% body fat and I'm not sure if I should pause losing weight to build some muscle up again, I'm already trying to get more protein into my diet, but I have no idea if that's even the reason for me losing muscle in the first place. I've build up about 3.5 KG of muscle over the past 4 years of training just to lose a third of that over the span of half a year... it's quite discouraging even though my training has not been any easier, I've even increased my workouts from 2 a week to 3 a week with a mix of cardio and weight training.

    • @Ergo_Deleted
      @Ergo_Deleted Před 3 měsíci +1

      I would recommend to workout 5x if possible and switch to some higher reps like adding 5-10 reps to your exercises adjusting the weight of course for it and then building up again. Inevitably though you will lose some muscle, it’s impossible to keep it all especially when getting to the lower body fats. Trying looking at some RP videos, good luck!

    • @samuelchan3920
      @samuelchan3920 Před 3 měsíci +1

      That 1kg is likely just muscle glycogen and water. If ur maintaining ur strength while dieting, ur not losing muscle. And even if u do, it'll be very small, and very quickly gained back after diet due to muscle memory.
      Relax and continue dieting. Don't worry about muscle if ur doing the basics of training and dieting correctly.

    If I may offer a suggestion for the "lower abs bias", Just like the weighted crunch, you would profit more from overloading them with cable then just hanging leg raises. Try Lying Knee tuck on the floor or on a bench with the feet INSIDE the handle attachment pulley (I hook 2 handles on a single pulley, feet inside). This way, you can ALSO do a weighted version of a "knee raise" or "leg raise"
