Apti Aukhadov shows one of the simplest, yet most effective ways step up your abs/core training.
Weighted Hanging Leg Raises with a 10kg Plate on Wall Bars.
Update: Video with Subtitles from Vladimir
Update: Full ROM hanging Leg Raises, unweighted
Update: Another instance pf Apti getting some Hanging Leg Raises done… on a basketball rim
Solaris says
That is an awesome exercise; you really don’t need to lift your feet up to the same level with your hands to get the full effect(plus, it would be pretty dangerous with a weight plate). And if you’re starting out, even just some isometric Ring L-sits are great.
Daniel Jørgensen says
For the most part; don’t do Lsit in rings. And if you wanna work abs, don’t do Lsits at all.
Mathias says
Why?
Daniel Jørgensen says
The are better roads to Abs-Rome than those of the static l-sit. (My point wasn’t that Lsit can “harm” ab-training if it came out that way! ofc not :))
Regaring L in rings: I could ask – why do you wanna do the Lsit in rings? What are you seeking to gain from specifically doing L-sit on rings?
Scratcher says
I call Bull…t
Daniel Jørgensen says
…proof abs? Yeah – Lsit and Jandas will do the trick! 🙄
Mathias says
For the most part I agree with you regarding L-sits in rings. That unstability won’t get you any stronger, nor bigger than a “hard surface” L-sit, but i think L-sit is a really great ab-exercise. It helped me with my hanging leg raises 🙂

♥♥♥ 😉

He’s going to be like Vardanyan and Zlatev. After almost 30 years at last! Not even Dimas could become that great.

Update: Thanks Dazzed I made it into a post here:

Gregor says
Thanks you so much for putting in the work Dazzed.
Now that you made the start I am going to post it on the front page over the next days.
Nat says
Awesome, thanks for translation. Not sure why he said Ilya was 85kg in 2008 though. Maybe just confused.
B says
He was probably thinking of Doha (2005), when Ilya won gold Worlds at 85 and Klokov won it at 105.
Dazzed says
Actually it was a personnal mix up of mine, everything between parenthese is what I add, in this case a mistake. Il probably finish translating tomorrow if no one beat me to it.
