Who does weight ab exercises?

Who does weighted ab exercises? If so what ones do you do or you think are best?

[PillarofBalance]

The decision to work my abs at all weighs heavily on my mind. Does that count?

[Yaya]

tiller i am a fan of the morrocan shattered ab dip.. its old school and arnold did it in 1973..

hope this helped

[Bro Bundy]

I do this new move just came out called the sit up

[Bro Bundy]

just ****in around abs are all diet only when u burn the fat will things like situps and crunches shape your abs.Diet is and always will be the ab maker

[PFM]

Bulk up abs defeats the purpose of creating the "illusion". Smaller ab muscles make the whole upper body look wider and fuller. Tone them up and diet down for great abs.

Ab exercises ??? what the hell??

[JAXNY]

Like everyone has said. It's all diet.
You can do a 1,000 sit ups a day but
If you have an inch of fat covering them
You'll never see them.
I do weighted cable crunches though
Just to thicken them once I lean out
And just regular crunches.
You really don't have to do much for
Abs because its mostly diet.
I also do isometrics with my abs
That's just constantly flexing and tightening
Them for a few minutes at a time
Through out the day.
Keeps that tight look and gives
You very good AB control once you
Learn how to do it.

Everyone shoul do weighted abs.

You wanna show off your abs you have to build them.

Weighted abs is very important in Powerlifting it build strength to aid in the squat, nobody is going to squat a legit 500 plus pound squat with weak abs and for those that squat much heavier will tell you so.

Standing Cable abs and Decline weighted abs are money.

You do not need to do a ****ing million reps and sets either just 4 sets of 6 to 12 reps will do once or twice a week.

People with great abs on stage and people that squat 1000 plus pounds taught me this.

You ever look at a pic of dudes on stage and see the guys with no ****ing detail on their abs guys on stage with show body fat? These clowns forgot to hit weighted abs and the guys ripped up in the guts hit them good.

Try and squat heavy weight and stay upright with weak abs lol you'll fold over so fast.

You can have the best diet every and still have shit abs if you don't hit them with resistance.

[Cashout]

Weight exercises for abs just make my abs thick and blocky looking. I don't do weighted abs at all. Very minimal ab work at all in fact and I have very deep and conditioned looking abs

That's true. You need both. But diet first.
And Ofcourse you need to work them
Out.
But my favorite weighted exercise is
Kneeling cable crunches.
I kneel, cross and lock my thumbs and
Rest my forehead on my thums and
Crunch pulling with 100% AB contraction.
You'll see a lot of guys doing this Excersise
Wrong by having one side of the rope
In each hand and spreading the rope
To the outside of their knees when
Crunching. They are using triceps
And lats instead of isolating their abs
100%.

I agree with you Cash. Although I do
Some weighted AB exercises but I don't
Go crazy with them. Just enough to thicken
Them up for the look I want.
Again though. Genetics plays a role in
This as well. Some guys may need more
Weighted AB exercises where other guys
Can get away with out or not much.
Me, I don't need much.

[DarksideSix]

it's all about diet bro, also genetics play a roll aas well. some people have 6 packs, some have 4 packs. I don't do much weighted ab work aside fromm maybe some weighted cable crunches once in a while. I try to focus on the lower abs a lot s well as obliques.

Standing cable for sure. Maybe a roller with weighted vest on occasion. Or I just get them airbrushed on...

Standing Spud abs are great.

Weighted crunches here. Agree re: diet is key for showing them off, but training them helps with other compound lifts IMO.

[grind4it]

I've done it both ways....training abs and not training them (with the exception of indirect - dead lift etc.). Personally, I prefer the appearance of my abs when I do not do direct work. Genetically, I'm a freak. When I thicken them up by doing direct work they look really bizarre.

[amore169]

I won't do abs till my body fat is low enough to show them. Diet is the key and then I'll start with abs workouts.

[jennerrator]

I've done weighted knee lifts, weighted incline crunches, weighted hyper extensions, weighted cable crunches...all awesome exercises! And, they did make a difference!
