leg raises are good, but this needs to be in the training board

 

[Mammoth2500]

I like hanging lower trunk twists.

Any ab execise where you involve your legs in the movement will work lower abs, but you have to be carefull how you use your legs cause in some movements the spoas & iliac muscles become the primary workers and your abs will become a secondary muscle worked... (ex: how most people perform hanging leg raises).

One important factor also is that if there is a layer of lard covering those bottom abs, no matter how many hanging leg raises you do you will not see anything.....

leg raise r wicked..

 

[ruggermu]

hanging leg raises. At the end of my ab routine I normally do scissor(sp) crunches and I feel those in lower abs as well.

anyone else find that leg raises activate the hip flexors in a brutally upcomfortable way?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Frog Kicks/Hanging Leg Raises. Those or reverse crunches. Try to train the entire core in the following order, though:

TVA (activated first, this is your 'inner ab wall', the transverse abdominus)
Lower Abs (recruited second in movement)
Obliques (third)
Upper Abs (Take a guess...)

You can work the TVA through Bridges and Vacuums.
The lower abs through the exercises I listed above.
The obliques through russian twists, side bridges, side bends, or medicine ball work.
Upper abs can be trained with the crunch, but do it on a balance ball for the full ROM.

Heya Bruce --

These guys are right. Leg raises are the ticket to a Hatton-proof cage!

Leg raises are wicked, I found if you make the bench flat instead of leanign down, then you can extend your legs lower than your body, if you keep your stomach flexed then you should not recruit your back; also, if your legs are slightly bent, then you will not tire your legs out too badly...also, if you go slow it make it tougher...good luck!
