This is one of my new favourite abs moves, having recently changed up my routines a bit and I thought I'd share it with you.
This is one of the top recomended abs moves by many pro-bodybuilders and it targets your core, as all of your abdominal muscles especially the infamous lower abs. In fact legends of the bodybuilding world such as Arnold schwarzenegger where big fans of this.
All you need are a set of pull ups bars/handles and your good to go. Simply grip the bar at about shoulder width and keep your arms straight, hanging from the bar with your feet of the ground. From here lift your knees up and tuck them into your chest, and then lower them slowly back into the straight legs position.
NOTE: Lowering your legs slowly and stopping yourself from swaying as you perform the move will lead to better results as it recruits more stabilising muscles in the process which are not only a vital part of the six-pack, but will help imrove other lifts as well.
I usually aim for about 4-5 sets of at least 12 reps fot this exercise and keep the tempo slow and controlled, squeezing the abs at the top of each crunch. To make it a bit more difficult and to increase the muscle gains try either adding ankle weights or holding a dumbell between your feet as you lift up each time to add extra strain to your abs.
