Improving your form > doing more reps. Thanks for this.

In the long run is true. Maybe at the beggining you can't do more than 5 reps with strict form (no swinging or anterior pelvic tilt) but obviously your core gets stronger and you'll be able to do more in the future and pass to a harder progression . Toes to the bar for example. It's ironic how most people in the gym cheat reps on abs excercises all the time to do more reps but in the long run they're not gaining Core strength and scapular stability which means they're not gaining strength and they'll still perform the excercise with bad form. It's a vicious cycle because of the stupid ego of people

When it comes to Muscle Building and Hypertrophy: Consistency > Hormone Response > Movement > Resistance > Repetitions > Rest Period > Diet > Tempo > Genetics So have the mindset of "long-term" to have a consistent schedule, maintain your Hormones if there are issues, Focus on doing the Movement to a high quality/accuracy degree. Eventually you would be able to add more resistance/weight, do more repetitions, have quicker recovery periods, and at more optimal tempo. You'd have to also maintain your Diet, particularly when it comes to Water Intake and Protein Uptake (diet really isn't that important once you're on the right pathway/doesn't require course adjusting). Genetics only matters for the 1% of individuals (tiny niche) who are trying to become proper athletes, or "World's Best", or even "History's Greatest".

@@JadedBeast Just drink enough water. I had some hard gains years ago, and had a friend do an assessment on me. Said I was only drinking enough water to maintain my low weight, he said muscle regeneration and synthesis is very taxing on hydration. After that modification, I saw massive difference. To make the example clearer, I was 72kg lean but was only drinking like 900mL per day. I bumped that up to like 2.5L per day, and changed nothing else. For the first month, I peed like 4 times a day. That leveled out afterwards. I saw a gradual increase in strength, but saw much more definition, and my weight jumped up to 81kg. That was almost 10kg of muscle mass, which makes sense because muscle fibers are made of mostly water and protein. My body was struggling to maintain it previously because I have always been a stingy drinker. Heck before lifting I used to have 3-day streaks where I didn't drink any water. Sometimes it's as important as looking at the basics.

proper/perfect form > everything else (at least that's my philosophy, heh)

I used to only watch your videos when in need of specific tips, but there is so much to learn from each one of them that I now watch them regardless of my needs and simply because they're made by you

This guy speaks so clearly and has one of the best demo videos & knowledge of the body on the internet! I always go to him first, especially during this time!

Seriously one of the better excercise videos I've seen so far. No bullshit and to the point, calm, collected and informative.

2:40 that just blew my mind holy shit. So simple yet genius my god. Absolute game changer

this worked better than I expected, great tip! by maintaining the tension throughout each rep I was able to really feel strong activation after only the first set, thanks bro :)

Totally and absolutely illuminating as usual. Thank you for motivating us and always showing how to do every exercise properly... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Im trying to do my exercises as clean as possible but after watching your "how to do stuff properly" videos I can see there's still some things I need to improve, thanks!

Awesome stuff as usual Daniel! As clean form as it can be

Wow, that's one of the best fitness vids I've seen in a looong time. No bullshit and straight to the point

Amassed me how good you can think and show the possible mistakes a beginner can do. When I do something better, I just do that mechanically and when enough time pass, I can't remember each detail of the things I did wrong. Conclusion: you are so good teacher! Thank you very much for your work and for sharing your knowledge and experience!!!

wow, I never knew why I struggle with training abs. ALL the wrong things you pointed out, I was doing. Thanks bruh :):):)

Daniel! I have been following you for some long time and I see you've become a master now. I like your scientific point of view. Keep on going and we applause you.

Really good video Daniel ! You explain it all on the clearest way possible. Nice work !

Always a remarkable presentation Daniel. Thank you for your videos.

Great exercise tips, video quality and narration. Keep up the good work!

You always deliver such very good advice! Thanks Daniel

Always great to learn something new. This has really put my form on point. Was okay, but nothing like as clean as now. Thanks Daniel.

thanks for taking us a bit deeper into the exercise will def be checking my form later

Thanks for the video Daniel

Love your videos, bro. Very well thought out and delivered.

Thank you Daniel for all you do!!!

Excellent video. I see these problems way too often. Keep providing great info :)

Excellent video! It’s highly informative and super helpful. Thanks for sharing! 🙏

Daniel, thanks so much with this and every other informational video you have published so far. Thank you for taking the time and breaking each movement as it should be. Hope to see an App in the near future. Regards

Very good tips as usual.

I have to disagree with this video on the last exercise he mentioned. The leg raise where you bring your legs all the way up to the bar is actually the best way to work your abs. He was right in saying the movement works you back but it works your abs more the the form he is telling you to do. If you don't believe what I'm saying see how your abs feel after you have done ten reps with your legs touching the bar vs the way he is telling you to do it. The reason is when your legs touch the bar, you have to curl your abs more to complete the movement so it's harder on your abs. Hope that helps

This is absolutely correct. Unless you're raising your legs past 90 degrees to the floor you're contracting only your hip flexors, and your abs are just flexing, not contracting. The abs' function is to bend the torso - if you keep your back straight there is no abs contraction (kinda like flexing your biceps vs. doing arm curls). Both exercises have merit but from the point of view of training abs whatever you do up to 90 degree angle with your legs is largely irrelevant to the abs workout. It starts at 90 degrees and up - when your back starts curling and your butt leaves the support (if you have one ). Cheers. EDIT: I am being corrected on the terminology - instead of "flexing" I should say "isometrically contracting". Or "tensing".

He's not saying it isn't the best exercise though. He's saying that, IF YOU LEAN BACKWARDS, it recruits other muscles thus making it not optimal for your abs.

fantastic and to-the-point!!! well done!!!

Thanks for the brilliant tips again Daniel, very helpful. I was swinging and going into anterior pelvic tilt when I'd start to fatigue instead of just stopping to rest and then getting back into it properly again.

Cheers mate, that's a really useful set of tips. Will be checking my moves out later today.

Best teaching video about that exercise I ever saw.

Really good content and information, as usual! Thanks!

Always great video👍

Very helpful video. I was making those same mistakes as you've mentioned in the video. Stall bars are definitely ideal if one has access to them.

Leaning your back against the post is an awesome tip! Thank you!

Mike Laliberte wow nice job man

Great Vid Dan as Always! I just have a question: will It be better to engage the lats? Since the abdominals have a kinetic linking with the latissimus dorsi via the lumbar fascia, it will allow our body to engage the necessary muscles to use during skill work, I just want to know your opinion in this matter. Thanks Man!

Your friend looked so happy to help

Always look forward tp your tips and exercises

Thanks, dude. Great video.

Just the video I was looking for gracias!!

Great tips Daniel, poor hip flexor flexibility definitely has me doing some of the poor form you demonstrated.

Great video, thanks!

Awesome video... thanks!!!!

Lovely tips. Keep it up.

Great video, Daniel! :)

Thank you , you literally solved the problem.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

class vid as always

Thank you man great video

Loved Andrew's faces hahaha. Great video as usual!

very good info!

The goal of the rectus abdominis (commonly known as abs) muscle is to flex the lumber spine (the part of the spine that goes in your lower back). If you want developed abs you should definitely flex your lower back. You can read about it here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_abdominis_muscle

Thanks for another great video. Regarding your thoracic mobility routine (stiff back vid) and the bullet proof your shoulder routine (Y,T, W, L), on days when I'm doing both would it be okay to do them back to back in one session? Also, if I have very poor thoracic mobility would you recommend to completing the routine 2x per day, or simply increasing the reps on each exercise and sticking to 1x per day?

Daniel, should we not ever look then to perform hanging leg raises with our toes to the bar? I can extend my legs to about 135 degrees, but despite having flexible hamstrings it's difficult to go further without recruiting some backwards lean. However, it seems as though when I do recruit the lean for the toe to bar touch I feel a greater stress on my abs. Bit of a tangent sorry :) I just feel like I may as well keep doing them with the lean only for the last degrees of the exercise.

Thank you once again

Daniel, I trust you 100% but Jeff Cavalier of Athlean-X is a big believer of the "show your ass" cue (rotating the pelvis). Can you expand upon why this disengages the abs because of Jeff claims that it recruits more of the core?

although jeff promotes the ass showing when it comes to leg raises on the paralell bars, meaning you do not hang but you hold yourself up with your arms down. maybe that can be the difference?

Hold on this guy is real smart. You can tell he's reading and thinking about it. Dude good work, it's inspiring to see people put some fucking effort into it.

awesome video, thank you

Informative. Thank you

that means "toes to bar" in a perfect fashion requires you to be mobile enough to keep your back vertical while still bringing your toes up? hip-flexion should therefore be roughly 160 degrees?

Best channel ever!

That was really helpful thanks :)

Thanks for using our track! Great video :)

Wow! That were some good tips! I wish I knew this when I first started doing this exercise

Thanks, I feel like a right plonka been doing it wrong for ages.

Swinging legs up with momentum to v-sit & then back to near planche or even handstand while supporting bodyweight from arms with grip on parallel dip bars is a good warm-up for ab & core work. It actually blows up entire upper body truth be known. Freezing momentum @peak of both ends of swing motion can light up ring of fire & get core together fast.

This is great! And I understand that this is an abs perspective of the leg raises but touching the bar with your toes is a great abs AND lats exercise. Not doing them because of the other muscles activated would be similar to not doing push ups for chest because they also work your core and triceps.

This excersize is a lot tougher then it looks😂 especially when you first start out
