[fitness0990]

What are you the best stomach exercises for getting a ripped stomach?

 

[petpre61]

ripped stomach = low bodyfat%

good exercises:
overhead squats
front squats
backsquats
deadlifts
weighted declined sit ups

I assume you want big ab muscles? Then add to the above list:

Abwheel with a weight vest
Dragon flags with iron boots
pullover situps (Use a weight plate or curl bar, on a decline bench, as you sit up bring the over your head to your chest, reverse as you go back down.)
One arm lifts

I dont really want BIG ab muscles. Im just looking to get a lot more definition. Actually just purchased this ab dvd and its really good. There are a few exercises that I will have to work my way up to, because it can put strain on my neck and back if you dont have really strong abs. I will try it for a while and see how it goes.

Pilates or Ashtanga/vinyasa Yoga are good because you'll hit the transverse abdominus (tva) and pc muscle.

Most of the guys who think it's girl stuff wouldn't last more than 20 min in an advanced pilates or ashtanga Yoga class.

A few of my fav's are:
- Old school Sit-ups
- Sit-ups on Glute-Ham developer
- L-holds (hang from a pull-up bar and hold your legs out so your body looks like an "L")
- L-pull-ups (same as above, but held in L position while doing pull-ups)
- Knees to elbows (hanging from a pull up bar, bring your knees to your elbows)

Having said all of that, you can probably get abs without any of those exercises, just by changing your diet.
