Lower Ab Exercise 8: The Lower Abs Trifecta (LAT)
How To:
Protocol: 15 Ab Pulse Ups + 12 Reverse Crunches + 60 second Ab V Hold
Difficulty: Advanced
Target Muscle(s): Lower Abs, Abs (All)
The Lower Abs Trifecta (LAT) is a strategic superset that hypertargets and blasts the lower abs. It involves three exercises — Pulse Ups, Reverse Crunches, and Ab V Holds — performed in succession. Please refer to our full walkthrough guide here.
Brief summary instructions are available below:
- 1. Find an open floor space or grab a flat weight-lifting bench — that’s all you’ll need to start.
- 2. Complete 15 Ab Pulse Ups. Once this gets too easy, hold a dumbbell in between your feet as you pulse upwards.
- 3. Without resting, immediately do 12 Reverse Crunches. Once this gets too easy, hold a dumbbell in between your feet as you crunch inward.
- 4. Without resting, immediately do an Ab V Hold for 60 seconds, or for as long as you can.
- 5. Rest 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- 6. Repeat steps 1-5 two more times, for a total of 3 LATs.
