Squats/ free standing quad dominant exercises. db lunge/unilateral leg work Deadlifts / free standing hip dominant exercises snatch db bb / rdl Ab roll outs Plank variation Also weighted verticle pulling exercises fry your abs

![]() | Re: Any good stuff for lower abs? now then pal yeah loads of exercises hit lower abs a reverse crunch look it up can't be ****d explaining lol, Swiss ball leg raise is good lie on your back while gripping a small swiss ball beetween your legs then in a slow and controled movment lift the ball so your legs are making a 90 degree angle with the floor then return your legs back down, while doing your reps don't let the ball touch the floor then u will feel it, have fun with that |

| People Fear us Because they don't Understand | Re: Any good stuff for lower abs? aye same leg movement different position, i find the chin up bar harder due to the fact you are constantly working against gravity so to speak (still off me face so im surprised this makes sense hehe) but with the swiss ball obviously you got added weight so the choice is yours really but ive always found that with abs its all about the stretch rather than the weight, your body fat will determine how well they shine through

I suggest doing none of the exercises stated apart from those of squat and deads as stated by MXD if you are going to train the core for some unforseen reason as a separate section of the body what ever you do one way you do the other way This means training the posterior chain and ES especially. I appreciate as a 15 year old there is a lot of emphasis placed on body image these days but simply doing crunches, raises etc etc is not ideal for posture development. Whilst your target audience of 12-14 year old girls like 'skinny kids with 1/2/3/4/5/6 packs' look at the big picture and see this as an opportunity to build a strong core through big movements You dont have to go heavy but squats and deads (normal and SLDL) will produce not only good ab development but a strong core If you are hell bent on simply working your abs then do some dorsal raises for your lower back to have some postural balance before you end up looking like the hunched over eagle like creature that appears on so many faceparty profile pictures. exercises for lower back here http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html whilst simple deads/squats/bench/chins/mil press exercises can be found on this site. If you are not going to weight train to get visible abs, which i believe to be your goal, your BF must be low as the guys have stated and when muscle mass is low and BF is low it simply looks like you need a feed or you are trying to audition for the local marathon runners team. Neither look is ideal just to show your 3 pack off on the 2 sunny days we get here in the UK each year. i personally love SLDLs with Dbs for both ES and RA deveolpment In laymans that simply means doing the exercise above combined with low body fat will give good core strength
