There’s always exceptions, but in general, most follow-along ab workouts are hot garbage.

This is because the people doing them know that if they make you feel a burn, keep the video engaging with little to no rest time, and have you waking up sore the next day, you’ll feel like you got what you wanted.

But everyone knows this isn’t how you effectively build muscle. You’ll never find a good bodybuilder doing 30+ reps of something as fast as possible before taking 30 seconds rest and backing it up with 40 more. People forget that abs are just like every other muscle, and that if you want to improve their shape and the depth of their cuts, effective growth is what you’re looking for.

Train heavy, pick smart exercises that target the muscle, push them close to failure, and rest enough to keep your performance and set quality high.

Hitting this workout 2-3x/week, especially alongside some targeted oblique work, will give you plenty of effective volume for developing both core strength and aesthetics.
