Best lower ab & oblique exercises for progressive overload? Cruceuz
Hi,
I am currently working my abs twice a week and have been doing 3 sets of hanging leg raises and 3 sets of cable woodchoppers. As with all muscles, I have focused on progressive overload.
For the hanging leg raises, I am doing slow movements where I bring my feet all the way to my hands and then slowly bring my legs down. However, I have now reached a point where I can do about 15 leg raises per set and I don't know how to make the exercise any harder. Adding weight is not an option as I must jump quite high to reach the bar. What lower ab exercise would you recommend where the progressive overload is possible even as you get to a higher level?
For the cable woodchoppers, I feel that I have gotten to a point where my ability to progressively overload is limited by other factors than my obliques. I often lose the grip with my feet as I have trouble keeping my stance stable at higher weights, even though it is no problem for my obliques to move the weight. Could you recommend an oblique exercise which "isolates" the obliques where other muscles do not limit the ability to progressively overload?
Thanks in advance!
