bro i need to care my neck. i have hernia. so can you help me to build my sixpacks and any risk for my neck. for ex your 2nd excersize makes so much pressure for neck
@@glitterbabyangel7104 well yh but if you incorporate some of the other exercises later on, you’ll see the benefit a bit more in building the abdominals and core strength.
Could not agree more. I love seeing tier lists of what’s good and what’s better than good. Even the Russian twists my gym teacher recommended and I feel like this guy should be my fitness teacher.
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’ve been a fitness enthusiast for 22 years. This guy has been my foremost authority on training for about a decade. Thank you sir for all of your helpful info over the years.
I've watched probably 100 workout videos in my 10+ years working out, and yours have helped the most without being snarky, trying to funny, and just using SCIENCE! Love it. Thank you.
well, i liked the video to. But where did he use science? He just used common sense. If you want to have science behind it, you should watch people like Jeff Nippard. They introduce you to studys etc.
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.
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.
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.
@@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"
@@mpkonsko I understand what you’re saying and I somewhat agree with you. Although he does in fact say how to perform the Russian Twist correctly. 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.
extend your arms further infront of you. i promise you you will feel it in your abs then. the further you extend the more intense it will become. your welcome :)
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...

@athlean-x quick question on that last exercise for the abs the best of the best, does that work all your abs likes does it hit every sing part of your abs?
@athlean-x Hey Jeff! I was just wondering how are the winners of the giveaway selected. Are they pre decided or do you recieve some sort of message when they click on the link on time. I am asking this because I have tried for several weeks and despite clicking the link within 7 minutes or so, it says that I am not one of the lucky winners.
Thanks, Jeff! I had no idea how many ab exercises are out there and I’m still learning. I just want to make sure I’m doing them safely before I commit to many of them 😊
If it makes you feel any better, he said some of them are the worst only because they’re not done properly So if you can do the correct motions then you should be good (p.s. I Love your pfp 😁)
well this level of definition and mass can only be achieved if you focus your entire life on it. don't be hard on yourself :) we're all just doing this for a hobby

Thanks for the videos. I am 52 and still pushing forward with major back injuries and I have other issues with my joints as well but due to your guidance I am able to properly train my body and keep on going while protecting my body. Some of my joints are getting relief now because I am doing things more properly. Thanks for your body safe approach, it’s so helpful. I have all your body part exercise rankings in my lists. Tnx again.

Was looking for a bench for hyper back extensions, sit ups, and flat bench. ua-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.
The last one is awesome. I totally forgot about it. I used to do it on a slide board and it killed me. Thanks for this video Jeff. As far as hanging stuff I highly recommend it if your grip strength is weak. Your upper body strength for any pulling activities is useless if you don't have grip strength. Maybe start your ab workout with it until your hands are done and then go to the floor work.
@@kleina126 I've done crunches my whole life and they don't compare. They only tone and don't build mass. They're great if you're a fighter looking for hard abs but if you want a washboard stomach you have to shorten the distance between your sternum and pelvis. Crunches sort of do that but not really.
Hi, as someone that had lower back injury in the past , I have found that 2 of your exercises are a perfect fit for me : Single sided slow carry and the swiper. Thanks and keep up the good work.

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.

Hey Jeff, could you do a video on glaucoma and workouts? Turns out resistance training can spike intraocular pressure that can damage the optic nerve. It would be great if you can talk about how glaucoma patients can continue with their fitness goals without causing further damage.
Im 51 years old I would like to see you do this with chest,arm bicep an tricep, leg, shoulder, an back excerises so I can get the best results from my workouts for man of my age
Some of the exercises are based on level fitness, 😢which is based on individual core strength to begin with. Depending on where you are in your fitness journey. The “best” category is obviously harder then the first one’s crossed out in the beginning. Thank you for showing how to execute properly. Your amazing!!

The info on the crunch and the swiper (leg raise) was the most helpful thank you! So simple and completely corrects form, very friendly to the lower back.
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.
Yer a genius Jeff! I'm a senior and am making MUCH better progress than the pre-Covid 5 days a week at the gym before work. My girlfriend can't get enough of my new form. It was "okay" before.
Here is the summary: Worst: - Russian twist (if done improperly, not rotating) - Bicycle crunch (again if not rotating properly) - Dumbbell side bend - 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
I love the Russian Twists, everytime I do them my dogs think its playtime and I integrate them by lifting them from one side to the other, using their toys to let them run around me etc.

Come on Jeff, we all know the best ab exercise is the face pull. You won't trick us this time. Edit 1: He made a slight typo. Where it reads "Sliding tuck" he clearly intended to spell "Face pulls".

@@mnassif3809 wow so many fallacies so many factual inaccuracies so many things that directly contradict God's words its hard to know where to start Most importantly if you're hearing voices see a doctor
Was about to rush to my pitch fork for rating my beloved russian twist the lowest, but the explanation is on point. That was a close one, im watching you.
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.
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... 🙏
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.
My favorite core exercises: Anti-rotation: Landmine side to sides, paloff press Anti lateral flexion: Suitcase carry, waiters walks, Turkish get ups Anti flexion: Front rack static holds, Anti extension: Ab wheel rollout, 3-point planks Then for the abs in isolation, hanging leg raises or leg raises laying on a decline bench of some kind.

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 as I have more trust in god) it proves a god exists to me. Also it night only be 6 hours for you at first but i suggest taking it slow and working up to trusting that god can make you sleep 4 or so hours Please i beg you just believe there might be a god and live your daily lives.

I like using the glider discs for the plank tucks. Or TRX plank crunches. No lower back pain and includes the stability of the entire core and has free range so you can hit rotation and target obliques. Great video!
This man has almost more subscribers then the UFC. Thank you for all this knowledge. I’ve always been in shape for a better part of 20 years but your videos have taken my physique to another level. Thank you !!!!!!!
@@luuttaja If you're having trouble doing planks, surely you're still getting benefits from doing planks? I think he X'd them because once you find them too easy, they are no longer beneficial.
I hope you’re doing doing all body parts. Watching these 2 videos has made me change up my workouts. Now I need shoulders, back, biceps, triceps, forearms, and legs. These workouts are going help me out a lot
I’m slightly frustrated that a video that’s supposed to rank the ab exercises actually seems to penalise the exercises that are performed incorrectly, that ain’t the exercises fault Jeff.
This is such amazing valuable information for me who is a newbie and also a student without income, meaning I can't hire a coach. Thank you so much for your amazing videos and chanel!
Wow, seems like those of the worst category are the most tiring and hurting ones, the better to the best ones have some really simple and non straining ones, I love it! Now no more excuses.
It would seem that way from your perspective but if you would watch from space, you would find that it is not the house that folds but the planet as a whole. This is causing massive ripples all the way through the earth's core which results in massive earthquakes on the other side in Japan and Indonesia.

i'm doing barbell training and have been looking for movements that work the same movement patterns as the major lifts, but with the resistance going in the reverse directions. i noticed how all of my upper body exercises are balanced - dips:rows, ohp:pullups - but squats and rdls dont have reverse movements. knee raises/reverse squats are the obvious compliment to the squat, but the equivalent compliment for rdls wasnt as easy to see. thanks to this vid, i realized that the gymnast tuck is like a perfect counter for the rdl as a movement, and as a bonus it can be assisted (on an assisted dip machine) or weighted with a chain belt+plates. i have my critiques of jeff and his penchant for limitless exercise variety as it creates option paralysis for the viewer, but on the other hand i actually really appreciate him showing me this particular exercise, so imo there is definitely merit to what he does. i think the tuck is really helping me correct some things in my body and after just 2 sessions, it is actually bringing me some serious pain relief to my core and back. i can feel unused core muscles awakening, spasms loosening, alignment shifting, and pressure coming off of nerves and dear god it feels so good. thanks so much jeff.
He only said they were worst because of the likelihood of doing them wrong.....which a lot of people do. You can really keep them all.....just do them right.
the truth is that for each guy on the internet telling you that X Exercise is bad you will find another guy telling you is the best. So me personaly i could care less. i do whatever exercise i feel like so you should do the same, if russian twists work for you keep going for it. What truly matters is that you do exercise overall.
Thank You! I've been doing the gymnast tuck for a few months now, at first it was difficult but has since become easier, I use a set of kitchen chairs and do them everyday, I'm also in the process of getting rid of body fat so far 30 lbs, I am very pleased with the results on my stomach, the tuck is the best for me and I don't get the pains in my back as I have in the past doing other ab workouts.
@@al3xandru551 certainly take breaks. These all target abs and doing them all without pause will hurt effectiveness by longevity. I would say maybe a minute or two. Most of these exercise are dependent on focus of each movement not just getting the job done.
What about the knee raises when you hang on your elbows? I think it deserves to be in the top-2 categories because it completely eliminates the problem that the regular hanging knee raises presents

Great video thank you! But I do disagree on the planks though. The further your arms are placed on the floor, the hardest it gets, if you do it right, even advance athletes won't be able to hold it for 30 secs. It's one of the best ab exercises for me and gave me the best results over the years.
This guy is so knowledgeable and so current up on fitness science. I had my boyfriend follow this guy 10 months ago and he's made amazing improvements.
Small nitpicking detail here: lower ab exercises become more difficult for many people if they are fat though (top-down bend goed with the direction of fat rolls while bottom-up bend goes against that direction). Speaking from experience of a trainer's point of view (judo trainer, not physical therapist, that would be my father. Have trained quite a few larger people with this struggle though). Other than that I agree on your reasoning that most people do the 'worst' and 'better' category exercises wrong, but I disagree that that makes them worse exercises for what they are supposed to be. I.e. bad execution ≠ bad exercise, in my opinion of course. Personally I greatly enjoy the burn from russian twists, and as a cue to ensure rotation I aim to get my shoulders perpendicular to my hips, for example. I also give this cue to ALL my students, which usually leads to the desired execution of the exercise, or something very close to it. Just an example of the 'worst' category not necessarily being bad. Plank is boring though, that one really does belong there. Little challenge, easy to cheat with hips and just so undynamic that I usually bail out before it starts to burn because I get bored of waiting for it to start burning. Instead I use a towel, socks, a slick surface and I extend my elbows or hands somewhat further forward than my shoulder line on top of the towel while squeezing my glutes as hard as possible. Starts to burn within seconds because of extra slide that you have to counteract through your abs. Recommend it to everyone who is insistent on doing planks for 'stabilization'...
Awesome video content. It opened my eyes and made me adjust my technique to do the exercise in a the way you described it is meant to be done. The result is amazing, thank you so much and hope to see more videos on your channel 🙏🏻
Thank you for this awesome content. You do great at narrating what you’re doing but, sometimes a few details aren’t very clear to a blind listener as myself. On the off chance that you read this, it would be doubly wonderful if you could keep someone like me in mind in your descriptions. I already understand a healthy portion of what you’re doing though and I’m thankful for that anyway. Much love from Egypt.
Ya I don't fully agree with the leg raise either - I think it's good as an isometric exercise, holding your legs at the point just before your lower back starts to come off the ground.
DId you even watch the video? Damn it must be frustrating to be a youtuber with stupid comments like yours... He said its only bad when you don't do it the right way

@@HitHeilerDerHohnEinerSure Not in this one but in some video he does and I assume that's what OP is talking about
You’re joking right?
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.
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.
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.
@@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"
@@mpkonsko fair
@@mpkonsko I understand what you’re saying and I somewhat agree with you. Although he does in fact say how to perform the Russian Twist correctly. 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.
I did the gym tucks and slide tucks. I finally felt a intense core work out. Thank you, Jeff!!
The biggest problems i have with stuff like the plank and side bridge is that i get tired in my shoulders before i feel anything in my abs.
wrong angle and your shoulder hurts for a week. wrong foot angle and your ankle hurts for a week too haha
extend your arms further infront of you. i promise you you will feel it in your abs then. the further you extend the more intense it will become. your welcome :)
I cannot do the side plank. My shoulders cant
My back (iam 16)
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...

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 😊
Get new material. This shits old af
Thanks for the videos. I am 52 and still pushing forward with major back injuries and I have other issues with my joints as well but due to your guidance I am able to properly train my body and keep on going while protecting my body. Some of my joints are getting relief now because I am doing things more properly. Thanks for your body safe approach, it’s so helpful. I have all your body part exercise rankings in my lists. Tnx again.
of course, the "best" one looks like its the hardest and most awkward to do. lol
Ikr, ive never seen someone do that last exercise in my life. Sliding tuck lol more like sliding truck
yeah i aint doing that shit in the gym .. i prefer doing it at home lol
Like imagine doin it in gym, i will be meme of that gym, would awkward to visit again
I did that before. It better than it look.
Is not that hard. Looks hard @andrey
I’ve been working out for 2 years now with great results. And Jeff your videos were amazing and so educational. Thanks dude for being straightforward and using science to support your advice. You’re great thanks for all the vids!

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.

Was looking for a bench for hyper back extensions, sit ups, and flat bench. ua-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.
search athleanx 6 pack 22 days
The last one is awesome. I totally forgot about it. I used to do it on a slide board and it killed me. Thanks for this video Jeff.
As far as hanging stuff I highly recommend it if your grip strength is weak. Your upper body strength for any pulling activities is useless if you don't have grip strength. Maybe start your ab workout with it until your hands are done and then go to the floor work.
The last one is great, yet difficult to perform. Imo you run the best with crunches.
@@kleina126 I've done crunches my whole life and they don't compare. They only tone and don't build mass. They're great if you're a fighter looking for hard abs but if you want a washboard stomach you have to shorten the distance between your sternum and pelvis. Crunches sort of do that but not really.
@@casz7098 there is a ton to optimize, if you are "done" with normal crunches. Head down crunches and so on...
@@kleina126 yeah crunches are great for toning.
I love crunches and sliding tucks.
Jeff think about everything so we avoid future injuries and are more efficient thanks Jeff..
I’ve been here awhile. Planks are gonna be the worst. Guaranteed.
so true
Yessir. Planks promote bad posture by rolling your shoulders forward and works your arms and legs more than everything.
Planks are tough and useful for overweight people.
@@ag135i yeah, we people with a weak core can get benefits from planks
As someone with back problems on the mend, planks are actually quite beneficial when done properly. Boring yes, but helpful
Hi, as someone that had lower back injury in the past , I have found that 2 of your exercises are a perfect fit for me :
Single sided slow carry and the swiper.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

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.

The Ab wheel rollouts, TRX tucks, flutter kicks, reverse crunch corkscrews and BOSU crunch w medball are my top picks for ab obliteration.
Hey Jeff, could you do a video on glaucoma and workouts? Turns out resistance training can spike intraocular pressure that can damage the optic nerve. It would be great if you can talk about how glaucoma patients can continue with their fitness goals without causing further damage.

@@mnassif3809??
It'd be great if you could create a progressive workout with all the "almost best" and the best exercises.
The info on the crunch and the swiper (leg raise) was the most helpful thank you! So simple and completely corrects form, very friendly to the lower back.
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.
literally anyone can do levitation crunches and swipers, even the “best” exercise is doable for most people
Yer a genius Jeff! I'm a senior and am making MUCH better progress than the pre-Covid 5 days a week at the gym before work. My girlfriend can't get enough of my new form. It was "okay" before.
Sit ups: am I a joke to you?
Here is the summary:
Worst:
- Russian twist (if done improperly, not rotating)
- Bicycle crunch (again if not rotating properly)
- Dumbbell side bend
- 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
I love the Russian Twists, everytime I do them my dogs think its playtime and I integrate them by lifting them from one side to the other, using their toys to let them run around me etc.

Come on Jeff, we all know the best ab exercise is the face pull. You won't trick us this time.
Edit 1: He made a slight typo. Where it reads "Sliding tuck" he clearly intended to spell "Face pulls".
Not doing facepulls on abs day is killing your gains
I know this is a joke but face pulls can't work your abs but still a great exercise as Jeff says all the time.
@@ryancampbell5246 Says who? I could do facepulls lying on a bench using my abs just as easily as I can standing up you just have to get a little creative

LMAO so true I don’t believe this guy I’m out
Was about to rush to my pitch fork for rating my beloved russian twist the lowest, but the explanation is on point. That was a close one, im watching you.
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.
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... 🙏
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.
Furniture sliders (cheap on Amazon) are perfect for doing the last exercise on all kinds of floor surfaces.
fantastic tip!
This channel at every moment was for me
Jeff puts some American sanctions on the Russian twist
Lol
You don’t know how apt that is right now
My favorite core exercises:
Anti-rotation: Landmine side to sides, paloff press
Anti lateral flexion: Suitcase carry, waiters walks, Turkish get ups
Anti flexion: Front rack static holds,
Anti extension: Ab wheel rollout, 3-point planks
Then for the abs in isolation, hanging leg raises or leg raises laying on a decline bench of some kind.
Cool my favorite ab exercise is facepulls

I’m slightly frustrated that a video that’s supposed to rank the ab exercises actually seems to penalise the exercises that are performed incorrectly, that ain’t the exercises fault Jeff.
Exactly!
Well it seems you need to listen more clearly dawg
well yes, but actually no
View Jeff, here: ua-cam.com/video/zzD80vCLq0Y/v-deo.html singing the praises of Russian Twists.
It's weird because I do those exercises well thanks to Jeff
This is such amazing valuable information for me who is a newbie and also a student without income, meaning I can't hire a coach. Thank you so much for your amazing videos and chanel!
Wow, seems like those of the worst category are the most tiring and hurting ones, the better to the best ones have some really simple and non straining ones, I love it! Now no more excuses.
Jeff doesn't move his body on a sliding tuck, he moves the whole house.
It would seem that way from your perspective but if you would watch from space, you would find that it is not the house that folds but the planet as a whole. This is causing massive ripples all the way through the earth's core which results in massive earthquakes on the other side in Japan and Indonesia.

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 😊

Jeff please do a best & worst arm exercises!! I feel like I try to target my arms but they still seem flabby.

Side Bridge Twist: 9:32
Swiper: 10:55
Sliding Tuck 12:30
i'm doing barbell training and have been looking for movements that work the same movement patterns as the major lifts, but with the resistance going in the reverse directions. i noticed how all of my upper body exercises are balanced - dips:rows, ohp:pullups - but squats and rdls dont have reverse movements. knee raises/reverse squats are the obvious compliment to the squat, but the equivalent compliment for rdls wasnt as easy to see. thanks to this vid, i realized that the gymnast tuck is like a perfect counter for the rdl as a movement, and as a bonus it can be assisted (on an assisted dip machine) or weighted with a chain belt+plates. i have my critiques of jeff and his penchant for limitless exercise variety as it creates option paralysis for the viewer, but on the other hand i actually really appreciate him showing me this particular exercise, so imo there is definitely merit to what he does. i think the tuck is really helping me correct some things in my body and after just 2 sessions, it is actually bringing me some serious pain relief to my core and back. i can feel unused core muscles awakening, spasms loosening, alignment shifting, and pressure coming off of nerves and dear god it feels so good. thanks so much jeff.
Jeff’s next video: why russian twists are the best exercise you need for abs!
I swear bro this guy is such a capper
Where's Leon jack
@@lunarninja24 talking with capcom to discuss how plot armor will save his life again.😂😂😂😂😂
Your drawing of a green star is like Squidward's drawing of a circle
I don't know,guys, the russian twists and bicycle crunches work just fine for me. You have to focus on contraction more, that's all)
He only said they were worst because of the likelihood of doing them wrong.....which a lot of people do. You can really keep them all.....just do them right.
the truth is that for each guy on the internet telling you that X Exercise is bad you will find another guy telling you is the best. So me personaly i could care less. i do whatever exercise i feel like so you should do the same, if russian twists work for you keep going for it. What truly matters is that you do exercise overall.
Thank You! I've been doing the gymnast tuck for a few months now, at first it was difficult but has since become easier, I use a set of kitchen chairs and do them everyday, I'm also in the process of getting rid of body fat so far 30 lbs, I am very pleased with the results on my stomach, the tuck is the best for me and I don't get the pains in my back as I have in the past doing other ab workouts.
🔥5-minute workout plan:🔥
0-60s: Side Bridge Twist: 9:32
61-120s: Levitation Crunch: 10:11
121-180s: Swiper: 10:55
181-240s: Gymnast Tuck: 11:38
241-300s: Sliding Tuck 12:30
does this targets all the groups..and how much pause between
@@al3xandru551 certainly take breaks. These all target abs and doing them all without pause will hurt effectiveness by longevity. I would say maybe a minute or two. Most of these exercise are dependent on focus of each movement not just getting the job done.
What about the knee raises when you hang on your elbows? I think it deserves to be in the top-2 categories because it completely eliminates the problem that the regular hanging knee raises presents
true, most gyms have a hanging ab exercise structure set up just for this, so id keep doing them!

Best ab exercise video on UA-cam
I love the “worst to best “series jeff
So helpful. Thank you! I did the Swipers today, really feel that core ripping.
Great video thank you! But I do disagree on the planks though. The further your arms are placed on the floor, the hardest it gets, if you do it right, even advance athletes won't be able to hold it for 30 secs. It's one of the best ab exercises for me and gave me the best results over the years.
Who cares if you disagree lol you prolly lift baby weights
@@kingalex1425 the fk is wrong with you? ironically who even cares about you
This guy is so knowledgeable and so current up on fitness science.
I had my boyfriend follow this guy 10 months ago and he's made amazing improvements.
Small nitpicking detail here: lower ab exercises become more difficult for many people if they are fat though (top-down bend goed with the direction of fat rolls while bottom-up bend goes against that direction). Speaking from experience of a trainer's point of view (judo trainer, not physical therapist, that would be my father. Have trained quite a few larger people with this struggle though). Other than that I agree on your reasoning that most people do the 'worst' and 'better' category exercises wrong, but I disagree that that makes them worse exercises for what they are supposed to be. I.e. bad execution ≠ bad exercise, in my opinion of course. Personally I greatly enjoy the burn from russian twists, and as a cue to ensure rotation I aim to get my shoulders perpendicular to my hips, for example. I also give this cue to ALL my students, which usually leads to the desired execution of the exercise, or something very close to it. Just an example of the 'worst' category not necessarily being bad. Plank is boring though, that one really does belong there. Little challenge, easy to cheat with hips and just so undynamic that I usually bail out before it starts to burn because I get bored of waiting for it to start burning. Instead I use a towel, socks, a slick surface and I extend my elbows or hands somewhat further forward than my shoulder line on top of the towel while squeezing my glutes as hard as possible. Starts to burn within seconds because of extra slide that you have to counteract through your abs. Recommend it to everyone who is insistent on doing planks for 'stabilization'...
Awesome video content. It opened my eyes and made me adjust my technique to do the exercise in a the way you described it is meant to be done. The result is amazing, thank you so much and hope to see more videos on your channel 🙏🏻
Thank you for this awesome content. You do great at narrating what you’re doing but, sometimes a few details aren’t very clear to a blind listener as myself. On the off chance that you read this, it would be doubly wonderful if you could keep someone like me in mind in your descriptions. I already understand a healthy portion of what you’re doing though and I’m thankful for that anyway. Much love from Egypt.
By FAR, THE best fitness channel online!!!
I got abs only from doing bicycle crunches! Fixed.
Ya I don't fully agree with the leg raise either - I think it's good as an isometric exercise, holding your legs at the point just before your lower back starts to come off the ground.
DId you even watch the video? Damn it must be frustrating to be a youtuber with stupid comments like yours... He said its only bad when you don't do it the right way
