Why Crunches Will NEVER Give You Abs

If you're doing endless crunches hoping to build visible abs, it's time for a reality check. In this video, we break down why crunches aren't the magic solution for getting a six-pack — and what you should be focusing on instead.

That burning feeling during crunches may feel like progress, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're effectively training your abs. The truth is, the visibility of your abs depends far more on body fat percentage, genetics, and how you train your core — not just your abdominal muscles.

We'll cover:
Why crunches alone won't reveal your abs
The role of fat loss in abdominal definition
Why core training is more important than crunches
Genetic factors that influence how your abs look
Safer, more effective alternatives to traditional crunches
How movements like planks, bird-dogs, and the McGill Big Three build true core strength
The difference between visible abs and a strong core

Crunches have their place, but without the right approach, they can lead to neck or lower back pain, poor results, and frustration. If you’re tired of not seeing progress and want to build a strong, defined core the right way, this video is for you.
