Abs Exercise Tier List (Simplified) 

The NUTRITION PLANS are finally here, take a look! 🥗 bodybuildingsimplified.com/

watching all the execises i hate go into c-d tier is priceless

1:00 when I was younger I used to do like 100+ sit ups and never thought about adding weight lmao

I just found out that i’m doing all the terrible ab exercises 😭

I like how you get straight to the point

Sure, here's the updated list with the time stamps simplified: 1. **Classic Situp** - A classic exercise for starting abs workout. [00:51](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h0m51s) 2. **Decline Situp** - Adds difficulty with a decline bench, better range of motion. [01:23](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h1m23s) 3. **Inverted Situp** - High difficulty, caution advised. [01:48](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h1m48s) 4. **Ab Roller** - Difficult but rewarding for abs strength. [02:30](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h2m30s) 5. **Dragon Flag** - The hardest listed, very effective. [03:04](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h3m4s) 6. **Basic Crunch** - Limited motion, minimal effectiveness. [03:29](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h3m29s) 7. **Bicycle Crunch** - Lacks challenge and weight addition. [03:56](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h3m56s) 8. **Machine Crunch** - Good with the right machine, allows progression. [04:23](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h4m23s) 9. **Cable Crunch** - Highly effective with correct technique. [04:58](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h4m58s) 10. **Plank** - Not suitable for advanced levels as it becomes too easy. [05:23](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h5m23s) 11. **Mountain Climbers** - Better than some, but not highly recommended for abs. [05:56](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h5m56s) 12. **Hanging Knee/Leg Raise** - Good for all levels, beginner-friendly knee version. [06:14](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h6m14s) 13. **Roman Chair Knee/Leg Raise** - Alternative for those with grip issues. [06:39](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h6m39s) 14. **Dumbbell Side Bend** - Not recommended, better options available.

[07:58](ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5ICnzMUGNc.html#t=0h7m58s)

hey winny, can you do a video on flexibility, mobility, and stability?

I am harder than my abs now

I can't believe I've been training myself wrong for so many years... I really can't believe it... That's just a hard slap to the face man... I'm subbing 😔

thanks winny! you don't know how valuable this is for someone who has stagnated in their training routine having issues finding new exercises. Training has become fun for me now because I find 2-3 new good exercises to do during training for each muscle part.

Bro I literally just subscribed yesterday and I'm already getting videos, I'm very motivated now cuz I almost gave up today on ABS until I realized that the Ab Roller is a thing thank you.

Omg I’ve been trying to find tougher ab exercises for like 2 weeks thanks you so much man

Im only 14 turning 15 and only started working out a few months ago your videos are amazing and helped me out so much, they're short simple and very digestible for a newbie like me keep it up !

Some of the best abs info I've ever seen, way more digestible and entertaining than anything else

Es el primer video que veo de tu canal y me encanta el estilo, literalmente, nos explicas las cosas con dibujitos. Muchas gracias por el video

For obliques, angled machine crunches by gripping one side of the machine. Start with lightweight or you might get flank cramps easily.

I love this format of your videos, keep it up 👍

My favorite ab exercise is probably hanging windshield wipers. They're a bit challenging in the beginning but they work the obliques while keeping constant tension on your abs. I'd say S tier bang for your buck ab exercise.

Great video! Thanks winny!

God bless you, Trainer Winny. I've been waiting on this for AGES. 😭👍

YES! NEW EXERCISE TIER LIST

1 like = 1 sit-up

Trainer winny back at it again with straight facts.

Dude, actually perfect timing. I am looking to build a routine rn

Keep up this awesome work ❤️❤️

For each like I will do 0 push-ups

Was waiting for this

This came into my recommendeds right before ab/cardio day. Perfect timing!!!

Sprinting is my #1 ab exercise.

Thank you for all the info!

excellent video man!

1 like= 2pull ups

I needed this video so bad, I’m new at the gym and there’s some excersises that are so confusing but this list cleared my mind for sure, thank you trainnerwinny!

The crunch is a superior exercise to the situp in every way when it comes to targeting the abs. To actually target the abs you need spinal flexion which isn't the main focus of situps and hanging leg raises (unless you also raise your hip as well). The hip flexors are the main focus of these.

I've your FBW plan, and I see much change! Now just to add ABS and I'm happy guy! Thanks for your videos man!!

I always appreciate concise content with no bullsht

1like = 1crunch

Waited soo long for this one. Now all that is missing is a tier list of forearm exercises.

I've trained Inconsistently for 6 years and this video changed basically all I know about abs training, great video.

Thankyou so much Gru!

you should do a tier list for the tibialis anterior!

Can't do the cable crunch because my hands are too weak and I can't hold the cable.. Thank you for the tier list, it's informative and helpful

I love this guy, very chilled🙂

Every AB workout of mine consists of suitcase holds, hanging leg raise, weighted decline situp and a weighted russian twist highly reccomend doing these! I’m never doing anything else again for the core

I love how since i started watching your video I dont pressure myself to be perfect i just wait each week so i can focus on the muscle of each week

What about leg raises on ground and on decline bench? Leg raises on decline bench r a great regression to the hanging knee raises.Also unlike hanging knee/leg raises,using decline bench will put more tension on the core at the bottom/stretched position

You sure help a lot of people, and I'm one of them. Thanks a lot men. I really love your videos. I hope I achieve the body that I want soon♥️

Thank you for the tips. I learned alot.

love ur videos bro

ive never seen someone that would admire sit ups and screw crunches

Thanks for this!

great video, thanks!

Abs (especially lower abs) are my weakest muscles; you have no idea how hopeful this video is to me! Thank you!

For each like i do 10 sit ups

this is what i was waiting forr🤗

Great video!

Dragon flag is absolute god tier🗿doing that with slow eccentrics>>

1 like = one second in the plank position

Finally 🎉 Thanks bro

Superb! as usual.

1 like 5 second plank

I do the Russian Twist on the declined sit-up bench. Your abs are under constant tension as you hold yourself in the inclined position. A 20kg dumbell or kettlebell makes it a bit more challenging.

Thanks that is helping a lot I always go till failure but it mostly took me about 7 minutes for one muscle group and is still gained muscles and lost some weight so I might do longer and I get better results Ty

Great video. Well made tier list, some of the exercises didn’t make sense some were important

i just want to say.. the youtube ab workouts work IF 1. you do it everyday 2. you feel challenged/ fatigued from the workouts 3. you aren’t chasing fast progress 4. you care more about a strong core rather than ripped abs as an athlete i can say that my core has gotten a lot stronger and i can definitely feel my stomach is firmer than before. if you’re on a gym split and train abs maybe once or twice a week, the videos wont work. but if you dont want a specified ab day and just want a quick way to work them out daily yt videos are helpful!! (tip: if you do the videos, try opting for ones that doesn’t have breaks or has weighted options)

Send this to drake

Yeahh I was waiting for this one

Like always amazing video!! Maybe now forearms exercise tier list??🤔

this would come out AS SOON AS I FINISHED DOING ABS 😭 :edit please get off my nuts about this old ahh pfp 😭 it won't matter to me or you in the next 5 years so leave it alone 💀

What is the right to do? Doing the cable crunch facing the pulley, or the opposite?

Thanks Winny, you're the best 👍

Cable crunch has always been my favorite ab exercise for loading. It's always been one of the only ab exercises that I can easily do heavy loading with while still feeling a solid stretch and near perfect mind-muscle connection. When you get it down, it's really tough to beat. Even though I still enjoy other exercises like leg raises and the ab wheel for all-around core stability. Ab wheel also seems to beat everything if you're trying to get sore lol. Likely because the rolling out while maintaining that ab tension is like doing an intense eccentric rep, which are known to induce more muscle damage than concentrics.

laughs in calisthenics

A lot of people sleep on the machine crunch saying is not effective, but I feel the stretch and also I’m seeing results already

Thanks for the video

Great vid! Reaffirms my belief that the goated ab exercise is decline situps where you hold once you reach parallel on the way up and do russian twists

not seeming to realize his tier list IS science based

Correct me if im wrong, but arent sit ups bad for your spine? Ive seen many videos about this and even heard that its banned from the US military. Ive heard crunches are the better alternative. Is this correct?

Amazing video

Thank youuu Sirr, Respectt🔥

1 like= 1dragon flag (update everyday)

My ab routine typically consits of 3 workouts. 1: Decline situps, 3 x Failure. 2: Leg raises, 3 x 10. 3: Rusky twists 3 x 30.

It was about time this video came up on my feed

Your English is amazing mate! Thanks for the advice

but cable crunch looks so awkward in the gym

Whats the Difference between a Crunch and a Sit up?

Time to get this summer body I always wanted 🔥

Mais que um vídeo, uma verdadeira aula muito bem informativa e explicada, parabéns e obrigado

Is the flat leg raise good?

For each like I will do 1 push up

thank you so much 👊🏻 🖤 🔥 🙏🏻

Bro new i was looking for this

For every like I get, I will do -1 push up

i love this guy, literally he fixes all my struggles and problems.

This dudes voice is amazing🔥

thank you for educating me

These tier lists are top tier

Simple and funny, congratulations

Bro i love your videos👍👍

Your video is awesome ! In the oblique part when speaking about the dumbbell side bend, doing it with only 1 dumbbell, apart from being effective, gets you a grip exercise at the same time(if high load/use disk), doing it with 2 is straight up dumb from my pov…
