      Hi :) please keep reading till the end
      The common argument against a higher power is how was god created but that answers a question with a question and doesnt answer the original question with how did the world/universe start.
      God created time and time has a beginning, middle, and end and so god has no beginning.
      recently I have been hearing this voice, and it says it is a higher power
      It told me to call people to believe in it, just imagine
      I was agnostic before and believed in the big bang. But if you think about it how did the big bang start and thus create the universe?
      It also said it revealed all the main religions (except Satanism) so I believe it is the Abrahamic god
      Also it told me about the concept of blessing, and such I turned off my alarm (also i trust in god to wake me up) and now sleep an average of an hour a day or so. I also eat a few bites every couple days and dont lost weight.
      You can do this too, im not special. Just trust in god, the one god that sent down all religions. And turn off your alarm and you will sleep less. Eventually you can get down to less than an hour.
      Think about it, if god exists he created the whole earth and space, cant he make you sleep less? If you go from sleeping 8 hours a day and getting tired if you sleep 6 hours, to having blessing in your sleep and sleeping less (4 or less hours, personally it gets shorter over time for me) it proves a god exists to me.
      Please i beg you just believe there might be a god and live your daily lives. He just wants us to be good people.
      It will raise you a lot in paradise if you believe and there is no harm in believing in the one god. You can even still believe in your own gods no offence but I just want to spread the word.
      Also if you try to get blessing and start sleeping less, be sure to tell your family and friends for their own good :) invitation to god is a great deed
      And let them know to share it as well to friends and family
      Thank you and have a great day 😊

      I used to kill planks for 5 minutes plus when I was younger in the military, but 26 years later and back problems, I just do the gravity crunches which concentrates more on the abs without the work of other muscles... but then again, other ab exercises works other muscle groups so why not? if you're physical condition such as injury does not stop you from doing these exercises, why not hit two birds in one stone? If you're shoulder tires out before your abs, stop and continue with ab crunches... I'm not an expert, but that's what I would do...
      I agree on the most of the worst exercises. I can do most of them without a problem when I was younger, now 45 with back injuries, I'm limited to very few, but managed to keep my ab strength up to par... I wished the military stops these exercises that injures soldiers farther down their career...

    The problem I have with this video is most of the exercises you approve of, many people cant do at all. It is our job as trainers and teachers to help people do these exercises right to bump them into a better category. I would never start out a new client just coming in to exercise a hanging leg raise.
    As for the Plank. It is basic for good reason. A good plank is the starting point of a good push-up, good mountain climber and yes,even the one that is in your “Best” Category, the sliding tuck. It is more about starting out with the most basic and adding layers on to make it more challenging. I would never start someone new on Sliding Tucks with out teaching them the basic plank first.
    In conclusion, I can see this video discouraging people from starting to exercise. Some of the comments I have read have even stated “Well I guess I should not be doing Russian twists.” Rather then phrase these exercises as good or bad, teach people how to do it right and break it down for them. Because most people, especially new, will not be able to do all of these much more advanced hanging exercises.

    • @patrickjava9966
      @patrickjava9966 2 ปีที่แล้ว +153

      I could not agree more. I really love planks for example because it's a compound exercise, basically just love an excise that does not require gym equipments. But this man just discourage beginners to avoid basic ones before advancing.

    • @alecbader7433
      @alecbader7433 2 ปีที่แล้ว +230

      He specified in the video that planks were not good if you could go for a minute and a half or more. This implies that they're fine for beginners, and that Jeff is talking to people while been exercising for at least a few months.

    • @mpkonsko
      @mpkonsko 2 ปีที่แล้ว +136

      @@alecbader7433 First I want to start out with a disclaimer that this is not meant to belittle you or talk down to you in anyway. Everything I say below is with respect and just trying to prove a point. I just want to say this because written words can be lost in context and I don't mean to sound like an asshole or hostile in any way. On to the point!
      Though I get what you are saying about the plank, the name of the video and the fact it gets a big red X through it contradicts your point to him implying he means it is for beginners. The big red X carries more weight. I know this seems like a nitpick, but really, it is all about how it is being presented. The presentation should not contradict what is being said.
      As to your point about this video gearing more towards people that have been exercising for a few months. His argument specifically with the russian twists is its bad because most people do it wrong. Then teach people to do it right. It is our job as trainers to make sure people do these exercises correctly to get the most out of them. If a trainer cannot teach their clients to do an exercise correctly, it is not the exercise that is the problem. It is the trainer (or the client depending on their limitations. in which case, provide a different option).
      Again, my main problem with this video is that most of the exercises in the "Best" category, are exercises many will not be able to do even after a few months or even years of training, do to physical limitations, whether that be weight, injuries etc. If this was an "AB progression" video rather than a "best to worst" video, than it would be much more accurate.
      Teaching exercise is all about providing options and progressions. Because with the many injuries and limitations people have, making a best to worst list just limits these people even more. Now I wont deny that there are better exercises than others. But in my opinion, this list just is not accurate. Especially when the excuse is "I can't teach people to do it correctly, therefore it is a bad exercise"

If you listen to what he says when talking about the correct form of exercise (1:38) he states that if you twist your elbows behind your back, it becomes a good exercise. The problem is that people just tap their hands on the side and don’t actually twist their upper body.

      Hi :) please keep reading till the end
      The common argument against a higher power is how was god created but that answers a question with a question and doesnt answer the original question with how did the world/universe start.
      God created time and time has a beginning, middle, and end and so god has no beginning.
      recently I have been hearing this voice, and it says it is a higher power
      It told me to call people to believe in it, just imagine
      I was agnostic before and believed in the big bang. But if you think about it how did the big bang start and thus create the universe?
      It also said it revealed all the main religions (except Satanism) so I believe it is the Abrahamic god
      Also it told me about the concept of blessing, and such I turned off my alarm (also i trust in god to wake me up) and now sleep an average of an hour a day or so. I also eat a few bites every couple days and dont lost weight.
      You can do this too, im not special. Just trust in god, the one god that sent down all religions. And turn off your alarm and you will sleep less. Eventually you can get down to less than an hour.
      Think about it, if god exists he created the whole earth and space, cant he make you sleep less? If you go from sleeping 8 hours a day and getting tired if you sleep 6 hours, to having blessing in your sleep and sleeping less (4 or less hours, personally it gets shorter over time for me) it proves a god exists to me.
      Please i beg you just believe there might be a god and live your daily lives. He just wants us to be good people.
      It will raise you a lot in paradise if you believe and there is no harm in believing in the one god. You can even still believe in your own gods no offence but I just want to spread the word.
      Also if you try to get blessing and start sleeping less, be sure to tell your family and friends for their own good :) invitation to god is a great deed
      And let them know to share it as well to friends and family
      Thank you and have a good day

    I've been in superhuman shape while in the military and all those exercises help out in one way or another. Every exercise works a different group of muscles and when you get good at one try a new one and it'll be hard even when you think it targets the same muscle group. It's like when you think you're in shape for basketball and go play soccer but realize it's difficult.

    - Plank
    - Lying leg raise
    Better:
    - the hanging leg raise
    - the ab wheel rollout (again when done improperly it’s bad)
    Better still:
    - the hanging knee raise
    - hanging corkscrew
    - single sided slow carry
    Almost best:
    - side bridge twist
    - levitation crunch
    - swipers
    - gymnast ab tuck
    Best:
    - sliding tuck

      Hi :) please keep reading till the end
      The common argument against a higher power is how was god created but that answers a question with a question and doesnt answer the original question with how did the world/universe start.
      God created time and time has a beginning, middle, and end and so god has no beginning.
      recently I have been hearing this voice, and it says it is a higher power
      It told me to call people to believe in it, just imagine
      I was agnostic before and believed in the big bang. But if you think about it how did the big bang start and thus create the universe?
      It also said it revealed all the main religions (except Satanism) so I believe it is the Abrahamic god
      Also it told me about the concept of blessing, and such I turned off my alarm (also i trust in god to wake me up) and now sleep an average of an hour a day or so. I also eat a few bites every couple days and dont lost weight.
      You can do this too, im not special. Just trust in god, the one god that sent down all religions. And turn off your alarm and you will sleep less. Eventually you can get down to less than an hour.
      Think about it, if god exists he created the whole earth and space, cant he make you sleep less? If you go from sleeping 8 hours a day and getting tired if you sleep 6 hours, to having blessing in your sleep and sleeping less (4 or less hours, personally it gets shorter over time for me) it proves a god exists to me.
      Please i beg you just believe there might be a god and live your daily lives. He just wants us to be good people.
      It will raise you a lot in paradise if you believe and there is no harm in believing in the one god. You can even still believe in your own gods no offence but I just want to spread the word.
      Also if you try to get blessing and start sleeping less, be sure to tell your family and friends for their own good :) invitation to god is a great deed

      And also, why should i believe in god? In every religion he's just a figure that was made up by shit tons of people in the past to explain everything we didn't know... Same about ghosts, and trolls. Those are just fairy tales aren't they? Yes they are. So why is god different?
      And also, if everyone stopped believing, then he wouldn't exist, right? Cause he/she is just a made up stories that only lives on by spreading the word about him/her.
      But no, i won't spread your word. It's most likely bs, already hurting u, and if others stop sleeping and eating they will most likely go through some trauma or something because the body doesn't know ho to compensate whit these stupid decisions that u already take

      Also it told me about the concept of blessing, and such I turned off my alarm (also i trust in god to wake me up) and now sleep an average of an hour a day or so. I also eat a few bites every couple days and dont lost weight.
      You can do this too, im not special. Just trust in god, the one god that sent down all religions. And turn off your alarm and you will sleep less. Eventually you can get down to less than an hour.
      Think about it, if god exists he created the whole earth and space, cant he make you sleep less? If you go from sleeping 8 hours a day and getting tired if you sleep 6 hours, to having blessing in your sleep and sleeping less (4 or less hours, personally it gets shorter over time for me) it proves a god exists to me.
      Please i beg you just believe there might be a god and live your daily lives. He just wants us to be good people.
      It will raise you a lot in paradise if you believe and there is no harm in believing in the one god. You can even still believe in your own gods no offence but I just want to spread the word.
      Also if you try to get blessing and start sleeping less, be sure to tell your family and friends for their own good :) invitation to god is a great deed

    I found Pilates really helped me with core, for me it was a good way to generate some serious intensity and tension especially in the lower abs and deep core/pelvic floor, I really learnt a lot from this video and channel too though :) thanks.

      The common argument against a higher power is how was god created but that answers a question with a question and doesnt answer the original question with how did the world/universe start.
      God created time and time has a beginning, middle, and end and so god has no beginning.

      Ab Wheel is an excellent way to work the abs.
      It's way better than the 'better' category Jeff has put it in. It's one of the best.
      The plus is that is works also a lot of muscles in the upper body at the same time.
      Triceps, lats, trapezius, posterior shoulders.

    Was looking for a bench for hyper back extensions, sit ups, and flat bench. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1N3gatJfHIxCsI2TbcOH1-k8v-EDJ40N Was about to buy a similar product from other manufacturer when I saw this one for less. Glad I chose this one, as it's very solid/stable, no movement whatsoever. Incline is easy to adjust as well. As others have said the plastic foot pads are a poor design as they are not attached. Also like others, I think it should be a few inches longer for a flat bench, but it's workable. Assembly instructions were poor, with one step being completely and obviously incorrect. I did get a communication from the seller that there were new instructions, but I had already assembled it. Overall it's a great buy, very happy with it.

    My ab routine consists of nearly ALL the “bad” ones. This video gave me a lot of insight. You really did a good job of explaining the why.
    But I will caveat with this. A lot of people, especially trainers, will counter with the fact that the average person just getting in to fitness can’t do many of the good exercises. And if they can’t do at least 2,3 reps of an exercise, they tend to give up all together.

  • @Indigo00124

    I consider myself above average in my abilities of body weight training (yoga/calisthenics), while in the gym for weight training. All of these exercises for me could be done with "good" form, but are still very difficult. I'd say this video is informative to those that are seeking extreme high performance, because about %80 of these exercises would be already a challenge for someone who doesn't live in a gym. Yes, I know there are videos geared to people who want fitness to be apart of their lives, but don't have the time. So I would say, do exercises that challenge your abilities but don't crush your self esteem. The last thing you need is not feeling confident when you can't do a straight leg crunch, because those are hard asf. Nice video.

    • @dannac_8888
      @dannac_8888 ปีที่แล้ว

      Understand that there are ab exercises in the "worst" category that should be avoided because they can put your muscles, ligaments, tendons, vertebral discs stabilizing the body into positions that do more harm than good.
      Hypertonic hip flexors, excessive thoracic flexion, neck compression etc. can leave you with TERRIBLE habits and patterns that can be very painful to correct.
      Any exercise that causes hip flexors to do the work then allows the psoas to not fire and provides poor lumbar support-especially when you need them for your sport- they won't be there.
      Jeff knows everything I just said. That's why you shouldn't opt for a crappy plank or a v up or Roman Twist. What he is advising keeps you safe. Doing any exercise that's detrimental for the purpose of some self esteem boost is placing value questionably. And that definitely goes for yoga as well. So many people injure their spines and destabilize joints in shoulders, ankles, cervical areas most often from harmful poses. If Jeff did a segment on ranking yoga... 🙏
