Train Abs That Do More Than Just Look Good 😎

Most people train their abs to look good. And that’s fine… for Instagram.

But if you want abs that do something—that help you lift more, move better, and protect your back—it takes more than a couple sets of 10 crunches.

That’s why I’m cranking things up.

I’m challenging you to go higher rep on your lower ab movements—20+ reps for toes-to-bar and 30+ reps for ab wheel. No shortcuts. 

3 Reasons This Method Works

1. More Volume = More Growth
High reps push your endurance, control, and strength all at once.

2. Strengthens What You Can’t See
Lower abs and deep core muscles aren’t just visual—they’re functional.

3. Carries Over to Big Lifts
Stronger abs mean better bracing, posture, and stability during squats, deads, presses—everything.

Why It Matters

Your abs are the anchor of almost every movement you do in and out of the gym.

• Trying to brace during a heavy squat? You need strong abs.

• Deadlift stuck off the floor? Weak lower abs might be the problem.

• Lower back pain while lifting? Weak abs.

Looks are a bonus. Function is the goal.

Ab Wheel

• Start in a rounded back “scared cat” position

• Roll out slowly while keeping your core tight like a Ninja Turtle shell

• Squeeze your abs at the bottom like someone’s about to punch you

• Keep tension and return with control

Toes to Bar

• No swinging like Tarzan

• Keep your midline engaged and control, not momentum

• Focus on the lower abs initiating the movement

Challenge Yourself

If your abs are just for show, they’ll crumble when it matters most.

This high-rep approach forces you to go beyond your comfort zone. Not just for the pump, but for the real performance. Build that armor. Build the engine under the hood.
