Sit Up vs Crunch Which is Better

Sit Up vs Crunch, know the difference. A crunch is an isolation exercise that targets your abdominals. It has a short range of motion with only your shoulders coming off the floor while your lower back stays down. A sit up is a compound exercise where your entire upper body comes off the floor. It targets multiple core muscles including hip flexors as well as abdominals.

[@user-wz8dv5cf1j]

I use to perform in crunches form while aiming to perform a full sit up, I don't use any weight to support my feet but I push my abdominal to its limits to reach a sit up in a crunch form.
Damn hurts like hell after a few reps

[@Blaze-sd1pv]

If you footballer i recommended sit ups

[@kingbanksss]

Sit up = crunch + full ROM

Sit ups is so tough exercise

[@lapwingperro]

You can't actually do it with free feet unless your torso is significantly short compared to your legs. Not everyone has the right genetics for it.

Sit ups better?

[@alanobrien9362]

I would have thought the crunch was superior as it purely targets the abs.

[@TerrariaiOSTAIOS]

@@alanobrien9362 i would have thought that sit ups would be better as it involves more core muscles.

[@BobBilly5621]

The crunch is superior since we aren’t aiming to train the hip flexors and they will tire - resulting in less efficient ab training. Also, crunches are easier on the back since sit ups have been proven to induce lower back pain in some people. You’re welcome.

[@GearlessJoe0]

@@alanobrien9362 they’re so easy it’s basically just endurance work tho

[@todd9850]

the part of the spine that's exactly behind the stomach hurts while doing sit-ups ....is it normal ?

Cause ur on a hard surface, try to lay on something soft like your bed or most preferably a gym mat

[@phoenixfire9176]

You shouldn’t do sit ups anyway, they will harm your back. Crunches are better

[@fedup01]

So situp will be good than crunch

[@omurgultekin9097]

bad for spine, especially where your back contact with floor

[@chadren7249]

You didn't answer which one is better

[@RatanRajput2005]

He did .
A compound exercise is generally done by people who are used to Isolated exercise meaning generally its a higher version of Isolated exercise and usually targets more than one Area or Muscle group [it's highly tiring for novice and also don't make visible changes quickly] if you want to tone you abdomen and upper lower portion together and are willing to give time than sit up is best for you .

[@TaweSenth]

@@RatanRajput2005 situps remove tension from the abs while in a more upright position giving you a bit of rest on the muscle mainly worked and therefore less intensity (not optimal for hypertrophy in the abs)

[@TaweSenth]

crunches are more effective for abs gains

[@chadren7249]

@@TaweSenth but why? I mean... crunches are basically half sit-ups. Shouldn't sit-ups be more effective?

[@RatanRajput2005]

@@chadren7249 no they won’t be it’s like you apply 1 N force for 1 unit area and in crunches it’s somewhat force equal to target area (somewhat like 50 N force applied to 60 units area) but in sit up you are applying supposedly 50 N force but it intensity is distributed in 90 unit area so it’s unbalanced but in longer run it’s making both abdomen and thigh development simultaneous.

[@GHT_0]

If you do sit up correctly it can actually increase pisture and will make your back hurt less

[@wituma]

Then what would be another alternative you suggest then rather than doing crunches?

[@ashish01997]

So crunch is just an incomplete situp😂

[@sussybaka499]

But it's effective for growing your abs

[@titan9404]

Ok so dont do any one of those, because they actually damage your spine, and makes it weaker. Instead, do cycle exercise, that is way more effective than sit ups or crunches

[@JoeLeone117]
