5.8K reps for simple home core/abs workout help.

[Hughsey1995]

Well, I workout 5 times a week at the gym but have never bothered working out abs. I told my training partners I was now cutting to get aesthetic and they said there is no way I can get a full six pac due to lack of ab exercises so I placed a £20 bet with them that I could, only now I have decided to cheat slightly and do some core work at home.


I am looking for a simple beginner home ab routine and to gain the reps I need to know: sets/reps/rest and how I can progress the workout. I have no real equipment to use so just need bodyweight stuff. Thanks very much.

Dragon flags , weighted crunches , decline crunches , leg raises Till wipeout

You'll need weighted exercises for size, and you'll need to isolate both abs and obliques. I say weighted decline crunches and side crunches. No more then 12 reps per set. Add a couple of twists in there and you'll have your 20£ in no time brah

superset crunch, crunch, twisting crunch, oblique crunch, reverse crunch (legs to face, not face to legs), leg lifts, flailing leg lifts. i do 25 reps each. typically feel pretty worn out after one complete set, but will go another if i'm not feelin it yet

i don't really work my abs since the compounds hit it enough. although i just do like 1 or 2 sets of 12 after a session in the gym. not possible for you to just add 1 or 2 sets at the end of ur workout?

[Vinzr]

2 or 3 sets of each

Bicylcle
Crunches
Reverse Crunches
Sit Ups
Plank (as long as you can)

I'm doing this atm:

3 sets weighted Crunch every single set till failure, max = 20 reps. if you do more than that try adding weight. (this will destroy your abs)
3 Sets decline crunch with twists on top (can also do weighted for better results in obliques)
3 sets leg raises till failure.

thats all u need tbh . abs aint hard to workout and you dont need to workout them out that hard since all u need is low bf for them to show. working them out will just make them stronger and thicker

Crossbody Crunch
Oblique Crunch
Jack-knife Situp

30 reps x 3 sets every-night.

My trick is to walk around all day tensed lol.

thanks everyone, has given me plenty to go off and repped 3, may rep couple more later as back on R/c.

good link, thanks bro, reps off recharge, PM me if I forget.

I don't know if you have this thing at home, but I'm sure you can find something similar.

So what I do is, 50 reps of abs in one row, 10 reps with feet on ground, next ten with feet on 1st step, next ten with feet on 2nd step and next with feet on 3rd step, then you start going down the same way. If you really want to feel the burn, then don't let your back touch the ground when you do them crunches, good as fuark I tell ya.
