Are sit ups necessary?

[End Cruelty]

I haven't done one in years. Last night i did 60 as an addition to my warm up. All other exercises seem necessary except the full sit up. Plus its awkward as hell. Is it cuz i dont do em that they seem weird?

planks are more efficient

planks are more efficient

I agree, totally. The only initial benefit I saw from full sit ups was that my breathing was better than when i just do crunches.

waste of time. Just concentrate on bench press, squats, deadlifts etc

Planks is what I do, haven't done sit-ups in a minute


but you really want abs, that's why you're bothering with it in the first place, that's all diet and dropping body fat

Ab rollouts are all you need. Don't do them if you don't already have very solid core/back strength though or you will destroy yourself.

I do hanging leg raises, the weighted crunch machine, mountain climbers on a bosu ball, and wood chops

Nope compound lifts will hit the abs

that's part of the reason I went vegan. But i lapsed on that diet and now I'm back to square one as far as the look I want.

Fucc what I said before, put the rope attachment on the cable cross and do kneeling crunches with that

Russian Twist have done good for me personally.
