Without knowing it, I have always been hip flexor dominant. Thanks for helping me to see it.

Great video! I have recently realized that I have been overworking my hip flexors on my ab workouts and a few other exercises which unfortunately lead to an injury. I'm definitely going to try this variation.

This is a very helpful trick. Thanks guys!

I tried this out today. Makes a real difference!

johncap0 glad it helped. We have a ton of free guides with helpful tips like this at www.mindpumpfree.com

Adam, I totally agree with you all on this. I tend to swing a little and use momentum when doing (weighted) knee raises. However, would you agree that even though there's a swing in my knee raises and I'm using some momentum, I can still build my abs when I bring my knees up high enough (so I still get that critical abs contraction at the top end of the swing)? That's how I feel about it. When people who have never trained abs before start training them, they might not be able to perform even a single knee raise. I think using a little momentum (especially) in the beginner's phase is not entirely wrong. However, I also agree that slow and controlled (abs) movement can create even greater results.

Jeremia Refos sure ... although I generally tend to teach no momentum and control until I feel my client has a complete understanding of what we're trying to accomplish from this movement . We also want to avoid encouraging a bad recruitment pattern. More than 80% of the clients I trained in my career were hip flexor dominant. SO , swinging the legs ballistically may still work their abs but it's not advantageous.

Is this the same as when people will put a bosu ball on the ab hanging leg machine thingy ?

What to do if no bar to put on lower back while hanging

Thanks for the form check guys

No worries!

Fucking great movement. How did I never think of this lol I’m used to the partner variation with the fist in the lower back

Pro tip Adam: put a pad on that lower bar, like the one you put on the squat bar to protect your neck and shoulders. It will protect your lower back from digging into that bar, less pain; more gain.

Could you do this exercise with knees bent as a regression?

Adam has an awesome body 😃

This is an upper ab workout? Or all round, lower and upper!?

All but lower emphasis

i’ve found its much easier to engage the core by bending the knees and doing these with your knees tucked in.

Okay, I'm going to be *that guy* and ask, Adam, what shoes are you wearing?

Was doing that at 15year old . what's new .

Bruce Lee fixed his body unmovable for the hanging exercise.

I do like 7 sets of 10 reps of these two times a week for 2 months now with proper form, and my abs still look like shite
