RBtrucking4 said:Well heres the thing i see one coming in but i was wondering what is better and more effective a regular sit up or the hanging leg raise? I figure the hanging leg raise is better because i can do about 120 regular sit ups in a row but only about 20 hanging leg raises also i read they work on every part of your abdomen where sit ups only work on the top and middle. Any advice would be appreciated greatly thanks.
I tried all sorts on my quest for a 6 pack (sit-up variation, leg raise variations, bodywieght excercises), but I got far far better results when:
- I did very slow crunches, hands on temples
- never fully came up far enough for my abs to relax
- never came far enough down for them to relax
- worked porgressively 5 reps, 10 seconds off, 10 reps, 10 seconds off - going up as far as poss
- added weight (in the form of dumbells to hands, or weight on chest) when I got to 30 reps
Before I even got to the 30 reps without weights I had a pretty good six pack (very low bodyfat% as well).
