Get over 105 ab exercises with the ATHLEAN-X program here
There are so many ab exercises that you can do to help you develop a deeply etched six pack stomach, but are they all truly good choices? In this video I cover the topic of weighted ab exercises and whether or not you should be using weight for ab workouts.
The use of weights on exercises like crunches, rope pulldowns and ab rollouts is common, but is it right. It comes down to your nutrition first and foremost. If you can’t see your abs right now and admit that your diet is not close to being what it should be, then you really should not concentrate on anything but your nutrition at the moment.
If you can see your abs because you have low body fat from following a good diet plan, but they just aren’t very sharp, then you may be a good candidate to include ab exercises with weight to your ab workouts. I show you just a few of the examples of weighted ab exercises that you can do to cause hypertrophy of the rectus abdominus.
As I discuss, getting the rectus abdominus to grow will have the effect of creating 3-D abs as they push out while the linea alba and the tendinous linea transverse help to suture in the outline of the 6 pack abs or 8 pack abs you already have. Whether you have a six pack or an eight pack is going to be determined by how developed and wide your tendons are in your abdomen.
That said, if you want to follow a complete diet and nutrition plan to get ripped six pack abs and build athletic muscle at the same time, head to and check out the ATHLEAN-X Training System. This step by step workout program provides you with all the tools you need to see results for your hard effort put into your ab exercise routines.

What about women with diastasis recti, excess skin from pregnancy and after having kids, what can I do? I am lean and I eat very clean. I checked my body fat in dexa scan and I am 14% body fat. I can see my abs to the side and obliques and I have the muscles down to the pelvic area, but I can’t seem to see my abs. I use weighted abs exercise, I do the wheel, I do crunches and sit ups with weights. I even do the leg raises whilst hanging. My abs won’t pop. I’m cut and ripped everywhere else 😩😩😩 what can I do?
3:45 great exercises
Burpees and Kettlebell exercises combined with good nutrition are like the quickest way to get good abs.Period hands down!🙌🏾
Jeff, I saw some other “coach” recommended an ab workout: ab pulldown, the gesture and motion looks little bit weird though, I’m interested in your opinions on this workout. Thanks so much!!

Is that Deadpool? “Maybe”.
But Jeff!!, why is it not "normal" to do weight ab workout since we do weight workout for all the other muscles ??
Abs are made in the kitchen everyone has them but for most mere mortals they are imprisoned in the bodyfat penitentiary
