Hanging Leg Raises > Situps

[Oopity]

For abdominal development

Sit ups are hit or miss for me if I feel them in the right place (sometimes more in the back or upper legs) but leg raises hit that shit perfectly

They're also harder so you don't have to do so many reps

Depends on range of motion and set-up, regular sit-ups suck ass but if you can do them on a steep angle/incline or hanging upside down they are hard to beat, leg-hip raises are good if you can match the ROM. Anyway I start with sit-ups on a hanging upside down station then do leg-hip raises after, the former is much harder for me.

Key is lifting your pelvis and flexing the lumbar spine very good abdominals exercise then aka leg-hip raise, guys that only lift their legs mostly only work hip flexors lol.
