RANKING 6 PACK ABS EXERCISES (WORST TO BEST)

Chris has curated a powerhouse list of ab exercises to review. We are not simply talking aesthetics; we are talking performance, control, and elite-level core development. They are all great exercises, but for this rating he emphasizes which works better for achieving that 6-pack. Watch the video for his break down of these exercises to see which are most effective for sculpting that six-pack, and why they deserve the spotlight.

But, before diving into the list, here is the truth: visible abs come from a combo of low body fat, targeted core training, and consistent nutrition. Exercises that hit the rectus abdominis, obliques, and transverse abdominis from multiple angles are key. The best moves challenge your core isometrically, dynamically, and anti-rotationally.
