>actually i would argue that the static hold is more beneficial for your body than the ab work itself
i would agree
the supposed ab component in leg raises is when hip is at 90-ish degrees or so and THEN u're supposed to bend yo spine and lift legs as high as they go with abs
seems innocuous right?
except u're shifting and spreading apart psoas origin which is holding legs up
good news though, i have solved abs :D

>>soft legs - both have soft legs - this is the proxy for switched off psoas
>abs:
>>pillow under lumbar spine crunch - lower abs
>>dragon flag with full hip flexion - upper abs
it's the soft legs trick :D literally 5 minute abs routine
except it's 5 minutes a week :D

u read errything bot :D
>I do cable crunches. Cable crunches work the abs really well. Whenever I do cable crunches, I FEEL my abs working. They start to tense up.
they "start" to tense up? waaaw :D
delt with that "argument" in the thread u closed bot:

>but why? why is for ex. crunch not effective?
it's just a theory but i believe that psoas pulling with compromised lumbar origin is sputtering and this instability is propagated over all the muscles involved and ruin the quality of contraction u get, u can get sore but it's not because muscle belly was properly worked no, i believe it's just injury, "micro-tears" as u like calling it bot
and u need continuous tension on muscle belly without such interruptions for muscle building stimulus, dozens of seconds, 2 or 3 dozens - that's another can of worms :D
okay bot ? but u didn't bite that at all for some reason :D

>u need to do dragon flag but with legs completely folded in hips and knees to make iliopsoas ineffective, beyond it's capacity to do more hip flexion
>lift your knee up as high as it goes standing
>then bring your knee further in with your arms - that's the position u want legs in when u're holding pelvis off the floor (in dragon flag setup) with abs, cause iliopsoas can't do shit there
>and watch legs trying to flex as u do it - resist that urge - that's iliopsoas wanting to take over the resistance from abs
>>dragon flag, but with legs folded in knees and hips fully atop pelvis - it was that simple :D
>i use 2 light dumbbells in outstretched arms as counterbalance moved past head, upper back and head on the floor
>it's a crunch but the other way around, and psoas can't work there cause there's too much slack in it because of angles in relevant joints bot :D

yeah, yes of course, that's why u need another dedicated to me thread, that's why u post as i write also xD
