5 Ab Exercice Mistakes

Summary of Jeff Cavaliere's video.

• 0. 0:24 Not getting nutrition in check. Fat levels determine whether we see the abs at all.
• 1a. 0:48 Cheating by pulling the neck. Put the hands barely touching the head instead.
• 1b. 1:08 Cheating by rolling or using the hands in low abs exercices. Get the legs up by contraction only.
• 2. 1:36 Not breathing properly (BLOATED ABS). Exhale as you tighten down and make the waist smaller.
• 3. 2:53 Not enough hanging exercises. Requires a lot of stabilization just to hang. More challenging, so more effective.
• 4. 4:10 Not training frequently enough. Short sessions of 4 to 8 minutes but ideally once a day.
• 5. 5:15 Neglecting rest of the core (obliques, serratus, etc). E.g. Squeeze your thighs together for the windshield wiper to include abductors.

Morale: focus on quality rather than quantity (doing fast reps is another mistake).
