A great single exercise to build a strong core and ripped abs is the human flag. The human flag will not only help you build a solid core, but it will also help you build perfect abs. This exercise is classified as a full-body exercise and will help you gain great definition, strength, and perfect full-body abs. Below I’ll give you 3 great tips to help you get started doing the human flag so you can start building a rock-solid core and build your perfect abs.
tip 1
You need to start developing your obliques and make them stronger. To do this, perform front and side planks by holding the position for as long as possible using your own body weight. You can put a weight on your back when doing front planks and also on your sides when doing side planks. Doing planks will strengthen your core and make it stronger, which is something you’ll need to do if you want to perform the human flag.
tip 2
Begin doing the human flag with your knees bent and bent. Doing the human flag this way will help you build a full length extended flag. It will also help you further condition your core and obliques, so you’ll see much faster gains in terms of strength. You should also hold the flag on both sides of your body. The best way to practice is to start jumping or swinging your body up as if you were doing repetitions. The more you do, the more you will eventually start to be able to hold your own body weight longer in the flag position.
Tip 3
Start building your arm strength by doing more bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and dips. You need to start building your arm and forearm strength because your arms will need to be very strong. When doing the human flag, your lower arm will be the support beam arm supporting most of your weight and your upper arm will only be used to pull yourself up for balance. Your lower arm needs to be strong and if you don’t have enough strength in your arms and forearms you will find it very difficult so make sure you start doing a lot of push ups, pull ups, dips and any other body weight exercises. You will find that everyone helps you when you train to make the human flag.
