Day 17! Starts with one of my favorite movements- the straight bar dip. This is an excellent exercise for blasting your pecs, tri's, and even parts of the back, plus it provides a great opportunity to practice the muscle up. The second exercise was the chin up. I definitely had some residual fatigue from the last training session. I wanted 3x19 reps today, and it was WAY harder than it should have been. Honestly, I should have stopped short of this and kept my reps cleaner- this is a good lesson. And, as usual, I finished with some body weight squats for conditioning and leg endurance.
So... How do you get abs? What are the best exercises for abs?
Here is the truth... If you are training hard with compound movements, whether with bodyweight or barbell, your abs will develop as a byproduct of become proficient with those exercises. However, if you have some extra body fat, seeing that development will be nearly impossible. The best way to get your 6 pack is to lean out. Get on a calorie deficit, drop the body fat, and the abs will appear. I'm not saying ab training is worthless- it can certainly enhance ab appearance, but any. muscle built with specialized ab training will be obscured by body fat unless a certain amount of leanness is achieved.
How lean do you need to get? I don't know. Genetics play a HUGE role in this. Some people show nice abs at 15% body fat and others need to be 12% before their abs come in. It all depends on where your body stores body fat.
To sum it up, special ab blasting workouts aren't going to give you a 6 pack if you have extra body fat/. Getting lean is the most important part of getting being able to see your abs. Training the abs can definitely help, but keep in mind that if you are getting really good at pull up and push up variations, your abs are getting hit pretty hard. It mostly comes down to getting lean.

This year (at age 46) I gave up alcohol completely, and for the first time in my adult life, I have abs. I didn't even know they existed. Haha. All-in-all, I lost about 30 pounds and got my body fat down to about 14%, assuming my scale is correct. It's a great feeling.
Well done, Jeff!
Me too, same age and looking better than I did in my 20's.
14% and can see abs? How?
@@swisstrader Beats me.
@@swisstrader Well there is standard definition abs, High definition abs and 4K abs, so to see them for the first time in years, even in standard definition, is a great achievement. 14% body fat is a great number.
I just love how he shows the whole workout, this is on top of his no nonsense voiceover
Your dedication to perfect form is truly inspiring! Your consistent focus on executing each rep flawlessly is admirable and sets a great example for your viewers. Keep up the amazing work!
he is right, i barely do ab workouts but I clearly see them just by doing body exercises
same never did abs but can visibly see them , not defined tho
Actually, this is totally different to my experience. Although it may sound crazy: I’ve always been skinny but without abs. I think I was pretty underweight, but I couldn’t even feel a bit of a Sixpack. When I started to train them pretty hard, they started to grow. I think a few more month of training and eating much and I will have abs like bricks.
Great point and thank you for sharing your experience. There definitely is going to be variation across individuals. I will likely make a new video on this topic to address that. Thank you for this!
@@Kboges I think it really depends on the lifestyle of a person. Some skinny guys who never worked out in their youth will have weak core thus not being visible, whilst the ones who were active would just need to cut
@menz, what did you use to train your abs?
tbh I just subbed cuz THAT BACK THO LIKE WTFFFF
LOL thanks!
Straight no nonsense content. Without the editing
What about obliques? Not only from an aesthetic standpoint but rotation- anti rotation movement, loving the channel by the way
Excellent question! Obliques are recruited to some degree during push ups and pull ups since they are recruited to "brace" the core during compounds ( www.t-nation.com/training/inside-the-muscles-best-ab-exercises). But yes you are right, they do not maximize the development of these muscles, and your level of development just through using them through the basics will depends on genetics and other activities you do. That being said, I find sprinting to be super effective for training the obliques. Other useful exercises could include 1 arm push ups, 1 arm planks, side planks, hanging leg raises, and other plank variations. You can throw these in as a finisher to get a bit of extra core work. I will be making a video addressing this in the future.
Thanks for the feedback and great question!
I’m using side hollow body raises for those , the ones that make u look like a salmon 😂 and tuck rotations . Great results
commando pull ups due to the anti rotation requirement
Windshield wipers are insane
@@eddiey699 that is fore the core i think
Answer...you already have them. They're just covered with fat. But I do understand the importance of training the abs because I've found that once they became more developed, I didn't have to diet as hard to get them to show.
I figured this was the key. Tracking your calorie and genetics definitely play a part. I look way better at 145 lbs. then 150 to 160 lbs. BF percentage as well on my end. Great video man, can't wait to see more on ab development 👍💪🙏
EXACTLY! I'm going to make a video on this topic going into a bit more detail. I'm usually between 170 and 180 and at 185 I look pretty average, but at 170 I look shredded and people think I'm way bigger than I am because of the definition from being lean. Chasing weight on the scale is not the way to go for most people.
Lol I'm 150 lbs but my body composition is horrible 😂
Love the content. A video about nutrition would be pretty helpful, maybe talking about what you eat and how much.
I have an overview but honestly it covers 90% of it.
@@Kboges yeah just watched it. Thank you.
I better start working out🔥nice channel regards from 🇨🇺
I found that by doing squats with feet almost parallel to each-other I get better burn in whole thigh and glutes. If I angle them a bit more I get more activation around my knee, both in shin muscle and thigh.
kako bre parallel, jedno stopalo pored drugo ili?
@@panta692 jok, stopala budu u sirini ramena, mozda malo uze i budu skoro pa paralelna

Everyone asks, "How do I get abs?"
The answer is, "You already have them." The better question is, "How do I reveal my abs?"
Spot on. This is well said. Mind if I borrow this?
not true, was 58kg 175cm and no abs :D (a few kilos less and would be critical underweight); you definitly need protein and resistance training
@@merlinsteindorf-elsner1150 Maybe your abs genetics sucks
@@brikiel nah at that time i was just skin and bones. the only thing i could do was 2-3hours running every day, pull ups and bicep curls + I often only ate some carrots and gummybears = almost 0 protein at max 1000kcal; i was young and noone told me this wouldn't work xd
Disagree. They can also be worked. Like any muscle.
According to my bathroom scale, i weigh 157 w sub 7% bf and still can’t see visible abs. I was overweight beginning in 5th grade and stored fat (very efficiently). I’ve barbell lifting for 20 years but only recently began calisthenics and learned about TDEE etc. My journey continues.
I bet your waist line is tight and lean which is hard to get as well.
@@ifollowjesus1667 thanks man. My belly is ‘hard’ under the skin. I’m happy with my progress and body image (finally) in general.
great lighting) great workout!
Train the front, sides and back of your core, isometrically. And are meant to stop movement in the spine which produces distally athleticism. Even if you don't see them. They will have endurance and strength.
Great video!
I have a question, you mention you need to be in a calorie deficit to reveal abs. Can you gain muscle when doing that or do you only gain in a surplus?
sprinting up hill gave me abs !
Spot on. Hill sprints are one of the greatest exercises.
Great work you are doing . Thank you. No nonsense straight to the point videos.
I have two questions.
1) what is your take on best way to lose fat on the side of my upper body. Below armpit. Latissimus Dorsi?
2) how to be lose chest fat?
You can't spot reduce fat. As long as you're in a caloric deficit you'll burn fat. Depending on your genetics the areas you store fat in will vary. Just focus on losing weight.
Hello, mate
It would be great if you research and try intermittent fasting, for me is the best and easiest way of staying lean and dropping pounds.
I was overweight for the first time in my life back in 2015. I had always been lean and athletic looking. I have been on intermittent fasting since October 2015 and I will not go back to my old ways. I dropped 10 kg in less than two months and have been able to maintain a steady, healthy weight.
I just skip breakfast. I have lunch at 12 or 1 pm and dinner at 6 or 7 pm, therefore, my eating window is 5 to 7 hours with the rest of the day fully fasted. Fully fasted means that, in the morning, I only drink water and an occasional black, plain coffee, no sugar, no cream, nothing.
Of course, this is not an iron chain, it allows for flexibility. For instance, sometimes I have the regular breakfast in the morning due to family reasons or because I am traveling. Also, I can have late dinners on weekends with my close ones. The key is consistency. You can allow to have one or two "cheating" days per week. Five days of intermittent fasting per week are better than the regular 3 meal a day routine.
I hope you give it a try, it is life changing stuff because it provides health benefits beyond losing weight.
Cheers from Colombia!
you can't control where you lose fat. your body naturally pulls fat from different parts of the body at its own rate. where your body stores extra fat is largely genetic, barring any externalities like people who use insulin shots tend to have fat accumulations where they inject.
Eate Poop for Abes
this is what i've always told my friends, it's all about body fat%. at this point it seems like it should be common knowledge unless you're absolutely brand new to fitness in general.
i have pretty well defined abs at around 12-15% body fat and i haven't explicitly worked out my abs in years. as mentioned, i keep good form with my exercises and I skateboard a ton, but i don't remember the last time i did crunches, leg raises, etc.
not to say core exercises are not important from a health and athletic standpoint, but form a purely aesthetic "having abs" POV i find them pointless.
hello mr k boges. really admire your form on the chinups and notice you do almost full dead hang with the supinated grip. How can i work up to this type of shoulder flexibility? I find I am struggling a lot to have them rotate (internally rotate?) and feel like my arms are twisting at the wrist/elbow.
Any other things I can do to improve that shoulder mobility? Thanks!
He might say something different, but in my experience just doing supinated dead hangs relatively frequently. I used to have the same issue, as well as squatting deep. Spending time in the positions you want to be comfortable with is the best way imo
Dude got a 6 pack on his back
this feels like the compounds will build arm conversation, for a select few yeah, but most will benefit from some direct ab training, if they want visible abs whilst not being below 12-15% bf. if doing a lot of callisthenics the core will get worked a lot more than doing a typical weight lifting routine, since the core is engaged a lot more in varying degrees through a routine.
Amazing Advice , Quality Content & Such beautiful Greenery View u got there mate ;)
Expecting More Contents from U , W2G
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
My doctor suggested me to avoid crunches and I even avoid most of the exercise which involves pressure on my diaphragm as I have Hiatus hernia. I am now doing daily exercise. Are there any other cautions which should I consider?
Great argument
Hey man this is a great channel - one suggestion is you have an echo in the room with your mic. Better mic ?
It does. Body types are different. Some peoples abs do not need focused work and others do. Simply put some postures are going to force abs to always be activated especially when exercising. While others struggle even when doing ab exercises. Sorry bud but as I specialise in posture, prehab and rehab I have seen this first hand. So many people haven't got good or even decent posture meaning they have overdeveloped areas and underdeveloped areas. They would need to do ab specific exercises for a long time to regain balance particularly if they still sit a lot. Personally I barely do any chest, maybe 20 to 40 pushups a week if that, no muscle ups or any other chest stuff.. literally spend hours a week stretching the pecs and have always had complements abouy my chest.... and I am lean af 😂 as I simply dont eat much. My legs are pretty massively out of proportion and I dont do leg stuff often at all. I do however do glute specific exercises (once or twice a week for 20 to 30 minutes) to rebalance that area but not squats or lunges except occasional plyo stuff for HIIT (10 minutes. I only do bodyweight for reference. Just an example. Lots of people must do abs and core not just for show but for health.
You live in paradise
I believe you need some kind of training. At one point in my life I weighted 58 kg @ 182 cm and had almost no visible abs, just bones :'). That being said, I didn't train, just some pull-up every now and then.
How to make the stomach tighter? I'm skinny fat, I can see my abs, but they are soft. How do I get my stomach to be tight?
The sheer insult I felt hearing you say I need to be leaner than I currently am, as I'm spooning a piece of cake into my face.
Kyle, you're saying that in order to get lean you must be in a calorie deficit. Will that affect my muscle mass? How can I keep the muscles, while in a calorie deficit? Can I achieve the leanness by cutting out certain foods or eating habits, but still keep the calorie intake sufficient for keeping the muscle mass? Thank you.
Keep your protein intake at 1.75-2 grams per pound of body weight
@@WebGemSports2012 How do you get 300 grams of protein a day?
My maximum limit no matter go hard I try is around 200
@@timhold2016 it's a stupid advice bro u just require more protein absorption nit more protein in general... U just need around 120-150 gm of protein moreover high protein diets are proved harmful in long run...
2 grams is high. Just stick with .07-1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. (Considering you are not obese)
@@WebGemSports2012 that's per kg pal you need about 1g per lb
You should work your abs just as frequently , if not even more, as training your chest , back, shoulders, etc even if you are 20 + percent bodyfat.
Yes you will 'see' them with low bf but nothing impressive since you never worked them with frequency and intensity as your legs, chest, back, etc. you will just see some definition but not these sexy strong functional abs with slaps of meat on top of them. You'll have to drop to much lower bf percentage to see them puny tiny abs. Abs muscles are the core of your being. you work them more than all other muscles.
Decline weighted sit-ups with high volume will get you there.
Kyle, when you do prolonged fasts, even 20-22 hours, Do you have energy to have good workouts? Any tips to training when fasting? Thank you for your help
I can see my abs but the problem is that they are bloated.It looks like i havent trained a single day in my life just because they stick out
Is it okay to do, e.g. normal pushups, dips and diamond push ups instead of 3 sets of the same exercise each day like you did here? (probably is, just wanna make sure!)
I'm naturally thin and have to work hard to gain muscle. I know how to gain muscle. I have very little body fat but a stubborn small amount of fat lower abdomen (so the dreaded skinny/fat). I realize I need to go into a calorie deficit to get rid of that last bit, but assume I will risk losing some of the hard-earned muscle. I've heard and read about being in calorie deficit but maintaining adequate protein intake. I've also seen bodybuilders cut to super lean but also lose a lot of muscle.
Are you able to find that perfect balance point? It seems like it would take an incredible amount of fine tuning. Like just being 50 or 100 calories one way or the other off the razors edge could have you either catabolic or anabolic. Did you have to experiment a lot with your diet to get your current physique?
How would you approach nutrition if training early am.? Fasted training?
perfect conditioning, smart, pleasant...how tall are you?
Hey Kyle,
What workouts can I use to strengthen my core? I'm lean enough to see my abs but my core is weak. Will planks, side planks and reverse planks suffice for core strength, stability and muscle building?
Thanks!
Can you please add a good core workout session??
How do you recruit abs in pullups when the bars are low enough to grab them easily while standing? When my arms are fully extended I have a full foot or more of extra height I have to tuck my legs in to compensate for. I’m 6’3” and my Crunch Gym pullup bars are just too low 🤦♂️
when i do leg raises or other ab workouts, i can hear a popping noise in my abs. Is this normal or should i be concerned?
I love direct isolation core workouts, spine flexion/leg raises gives coregasm.
Keep at it! It definitely will help.
Hey Kyle, Do you ever do prolonged fasts(24 hours or more)? What is your opinion on them? Great content as always
I have done 36 before, but I often do 20-22 hours a day due to schedule conflicts.
If you don't mind me asking why did you seldom post the assistance exercises you were doing in these 30 days?
I don't regularly do them. I will go whole stretches without doing any assistance exercises, and when I do them, they are typically intermittent quick.
Hey man.. do you always train your chin ups in this particular tempo? If we were to focus on muscle development, would you suggest going slower on the reps or going fast thus getting that pumped feeling resulting in better muscle growth?
I mix tempo up a bit, and sometimes I will do a block of different tempos. Sometimes slow and paused, sometimes, explosive, sometimes constant tension. I look at the all as different variations.
Hello, thanks for video. I want to ask you a question. Do these exercise make abs like you have? Don't you use different abs exercise to have abs like you have?
How to work abs *ripped back thumbnail. Such a Yujiro move
Do you fast? And do you take a more low fat high carb approach? Or more of a high fat approach?
Real question is how do I get back-abs??
Mine come through when I'm lean, like around 10% BF. If I carry a bit more body fat they aren't visible.
Abs are REVEALED in the kitchen
How do you find out what your daily calorie intake should be ? ( Is there a height / weight / age equation ?) Then what would be a healthy calorie deficit ? For a slow fat loss . Thanks for yourvids , I'm a rookie , haha cheers , Anthony
Easiest way.... track your calories and your weight. If your weight is stable, your current average intake is maintenance.
Abs? What are those? I hover btwn 14-20%. When I’m being absolutely lazy, holiday’s, vacation. I get down to 11-12% with a not too strict diet and just sticking to weekly workout schedule and will just see a slight abs outline. I’d have to be under 8% and that is not something I care to reach or maintain. The juice is not worth the squeeze.
Wow! Yes I don't blame you. That's what is interesting- visible abs show up at different BF% depending on where you genetically hold fat. I've had some client with abs at almost 15% (as tested by dexa)!
what are some substitutions for rows if you dont have a row machine?
So do you do any ab focused exercises? I'm about 10% body fat with a "fit" amount of muscle. I'd still wish my abs were more pronounced though. How significantly can ab exercises grow the abdominals?
Cables crunches, single arm cable crunches (obliques), and ball v-ups are your friend. I too have "flat" abs for lack of a better term. You (and I) are people that don't have big bulging abdominal muscles. We need to work them specifically in order to see bigger, more defined abs. I've been working on it to try to bring them up.
@@Michael_00001 hows tht been going? any new suggestions?
@@davidrtrains Nah… I’m carrying too high a BF percentage right now 😂. I need to slim back down.
how can i measure my body fat percent because im trying to lose fat around my lower back ,love handles
Most accurate way is DEXA scan.
So sr did you actually achieved that body only with body weight im skeptical about it
Hey Javie! I have done a mix of weights and BW my whole life, but the vast majority of my training has been with BW, especially for the upper body. Pull ups and push up variations, weighted and unweighted, have been staple exercises since I was a kid. I don't look at BW as being substantially different than weights, though. Your body cannot distinguish the difference between mechanical tension generated by moving your BW vs moving an external weight. There is fundamentally no difference. Weights have an advantage of being able scale and change the scope of loading... you can do an isolation movement to apply tension to a very particular muscle OR you can do something that is globally stimulating. It can be highly targeted, scaled, or very general. Whereas with calisthenics, we are more limited in this regard. That doesn't mean that is less effective, it just means that it's a different tool, but most people can build amazing physiques with either, provided they train properly and support that with good nutrition and recovery.
@@Kboges thanks for taking the time !!im really enjoying the channel,looking forward to improve my body and your content is clear no BS,or a lot of product commercial 🔥
This channel is exploding...
So in this workout, you rest 5 minutes between each set?
Hanging leg raises >>>
I haven't been able to do a situp for years now. Been trying and I am not sure if it's because of chronic lower back pain as I have pulled it badly 4 times and it's not getting better ?
@Becks Shin thanks!
I didn’t know these built abs .
can you make a video on how to hold your abs during a workout (brain-body connection) - I have low body fat % and a 4-6 pack but have come to realize I have diastasis recti where my lower belly bulges out.
th-cam.com/video/TdzrYvgvv3o/w-d-xo.html
This helped me. I also try to do a milder vacuum during my other exercises to build that min-muscle connection. Hope this helps
How can I be on a calorie deficit if I’m already skinny?
And why the heck am I skinny but have a belly fat?
I feel clammy and jittery if I don't eat 3-4 meals a day. My Brian feels tired and restless if I don't feed my self throughout the day. Kindly suggest!
P.S: I am not a diabatic.
Seems to me that your body is used to getting lots of carbs.
Focus on reducing your carbs intake (except fiber) and you will eventually feel much better.
Personally I did intermittent fasting for 3 months and it was a bit tough at the beginning but relaxing afterward.
I have an 8 pack. But I train my abs most days till failure. I never let them rest.
Waste of time
@@kek8230 what do you mean?
Well I’m already thin, 6’1 roughly 155-160lbs and imma start working out more when the new comes. How much leaner do I need to be? I already have a fast metabolism so loosing weight probably won’t be a issue.
At your height and weight the best thing to change your body comp is going to be adding muscle.
@@schraderade So right now I’m just doing body weight workouts. Body squats 3x20, push ups 3x20, pull ups 3x8, and calves raises 3x25. These workouts are just to warm up my muscles so I can get use to working out for now until the New Years and I’ll add more reps
@@drock__isfree8026 thats fine but you should add some ab-focused exercises as well. You can focus the main parts: upper, middle, and lower parts of the abs. Search for a simple beginner routine on youtube. :)
Holy hell I thought I was light at 150lbs, 5'10. I've still got that stubborn 5lbs of fat to go but damn. You already sound like you're 11% or something 😂
@@dave93x I honestly don’t know, sometimes I go up and down so sometimes. I fell like I’m 153 right because I do feel light than usual.
What is your height and weight? You look extremely lean.
Somehow my upper abs starts to show after a month of doing pull ups without doing any ab exercise.
They are my favorite ab exercise 💪
@@Kboges that's good to know. It inspires me even more to polish my pull ups
Jumping robes burns my lower abs
Thank you for being honest lol, and are made in the kitchen.
I experimented with a vegan diet some years back. I lost over 30lbs and I was seriously underweight. I still could barely see any abs. You need to train them. A lot of people live very sedentary lifestyles, like I used to.
Ahh yeah this can definitely happen on that type of diet. Unless you are training and have good protein intake, weight loss can result in significant muscle loss.
How many squats was that?
Where do you live man? Looks gorgeous
I'm 9% bf and still, cant see my abs good. Just very faint outlines on my upper 4 abs
What body fat % are u at in the video?
hi Kyle, do we need to exercise daily to gain muscles?
no but you have to bring your reps to failure to gain muscles,plenty sets and plenty reps until failure,for example do 3 or 4 sets of as many push ups you can do in that set:1st set 30 push ups ,2nd set 25 push ups,3rd set 20 push ups,4th 20 push ups,ur numbers would be different,just an example,bring reps till failure
where do you live?
Que estás tramando hermano
Hey Kyle, what do you estimate your body fat percentage is in this clip?
Probably around 10%. My dexa scans usually show about 10-10.5%. I've flirted with sub 10% for a bit but it is extremely hard to maintain for me- I like to eat. I can sustain 10-11% pretty comfortably though. Everyone is different in this regard.
@@Kboges Thank you for the reply. In your opinion, what is an optimal body fat range for the sake of health and longevity?
@@Jonathan-wo6kf That's really a great question... I think most guys will do well between 10-15% provided they have a good amount of muscle mass. Things get skewed in the data if we look at lean individuals; they often show increased morality rates but there are some confounding variables there, and in the general population, being lean is often associated with low muscle mass and frailty risks. Those risks disappear when we factor in fat free mass. So... I think an athletic body composition is probably going to give the best tradeoff. It just needs to be balanced with stress and other lifestyle factors.
I find you knowledgeable and concise in all videos, but respectfully disagree.Unless you already train in intermediate-advance levels you most likely do not have abs that are developed enough to be well visible even if body fat percentage was extremely low. And compound exercises that hit abs secondarily are insufficient to produce development for six pack. Great videos. I enjoy your work very much.
Hey Bodhi!
Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate your perspective. Great points here.
I do think this can be highly individual and I don't think it's binary. I know for myself, I NEVER trained abs for quite a long time. I still had a visible 6 pack when I leaned out. Doing some direct ab work made it look BETTER, but it wasn't like 0 abs without training and 100% of the abs with. I think most people can get a pretty good looking core just with compounds (especially pull ups and chins that require significant ab recruitment) and getting pretty lean, but I agree that they can get a better looking mid section through direct training. The degree of dedicated work needed is highly individual- genetics goals, leanness, etc.
Again, great points and thanks for the respectful discussion! Always nice when people disagree about a point without throwing in some personal attacks for fun 😂
I had visible abs at 13 before I started training because I was a skinny bastard. You most definitely do not need to get to intermediate or advanced levels to see abs most people will have them after a few months of standard training if you have low enough body fat
@@timcahill4676 Because you have good genetics. I've seen a guy who was going to a pub every day after work. He had abs like an athlete but he never trained and his diet was terrible. He worked physical jobs but even before that he had abs. I'm not talking about a little cut but huge, well-developed abs. Personally, I was skinny most of my life and sometimes you could even see ribs but no abs. If you don't have genetics then training will help to some extent but it might be also that it won't be possible for me ever because of poor genetics.
If you look at kids playing football on the field some of them are quite thin and have visible abs. Most people have abs that are visible without training.
What is your height and weight
A bit over 6'1" and about 180 right now.
funny that question, how to get abs? we already have em' they're just hibernating in a nice layer of fat lol

This guy is among the best on here, but:
Video title: "How to get abs".
Video content: 1 min & a half of talking about just eat in a calorie deficit (he's not wrong) then peaces out. 5 & a half mins of him doing squats/pullups instead.
Video subject: clearly does some type of ab movement (or maybe I'm wrong & he does so many pushups that he's always planking??)
Your channel is great but I can't seem to find a video on it that actually talks about abs beyond this. Are there movements you do?
Anyway, best channel on here but this one just makes me want to ask more questions. I mean this respectfully. I'm just curious looking at a sea of different opinions on core training: "planks aren't enough" vs "only plank or you're killing your spine", "I swear by the cable crunch" vs "cable crunch will destroy your vertebrae", "hanging leg raises are the best" vs you get it, etc.. I'm talking on top of the calorie deficit.
Basically, what movements do you do that activates your abdominal muscles enough (on top of obviously being lean) where they "pop" how they do in your videos (1:52 is a good example)
Thank you!
Point taken on the criticism. I hope the content quality has improved since making this. I was still figuring things out so thanks for the patience with the lack of polish and direction on these initial videos.
Ok for abs… literally push ups and pull ups are my primary core exercises. I will occasionally do hanging leg raises but only for a handful of workouts a few times per year. My push up sets often last 2+ minutes and my pull up sets will last a minute or so. I feel like both of them very strongly in the abs. I wouldn’t say my abs are not huge, they aren’t super deep or anything but being a bit leaner makes them visible. I feel like my core is plenty strong enough for any of the physical things I do; I’ve always had naturally good punching power and my grappling is strong so I don’t do dedicated work for it for martial arts. I can do pretty challenging core exercises but I don’t typically train them. I’m not against core training at all, and I think something like the hanging leg raise is an excellent ab strengthener, for example, but I don’t feel like I need to spend much time on them.
I hope that helps. Sorry for the dud video and I truly appreciate the criticism. Just trying to get better at this so it really is helpful. 🙏
@@Kboges Thank you for sharing this! That is helpful & answers my questions on it. I love all your videos so I apologize for implying it was a dud, just was trying to get some more insight/clarity/exploration on this topic. Regards!
No apology needed! Some of the older videos… I can’t watch 😂 but I’m happy to hear you enjoy the content! If you have any more questions, never hesitate to reach out.

Abs or a deep fried breaded tenderloin with everything on it.... Ummm idk man,

Go carnivore
That usually does the trick for many people. I've seen clients get great results with it.
But King,
I dont want to have a "visible" abs, I want to have strong abs
keep in mind he uses steroids
where is your evidence? He looks pretty natural to me
Don't be talking stupid.
You are dumb. His body is easily achievable for anyone. He has a degree in Kinesiology and many other personal training certifications so he has enough knowledge to build a body like he has naturally. He’s not even that big. You are just lazy and don’t like to work hard.
@@hepzibahhez9965 he has zero idea what he's talking about. He's absolutely not taking anything.
How do you increase load for planks?
You can lift an arm and/or a leg, or have someone put some plates on your hips.
Have you done pushups where you keep one leg unsupported? Just bend it and let it rest on its hamstring? I assume that'd be harder on the abs @@Kboges
