Pullups are life. A cheap pullup/dip bar will go a long way.

How cheap do they go for?Check Craigslist, but I got a nice one from a sports store for $120. Ones with less padding will go for less.

Hanging leg raises.
Quote from: goots on May 30, 2015, 01:45:16 PMHanging leg raises. Literally the best core exercise there is. I prefer the variant of toes/knees to the bar.

I prefer the variant of toes/knees to the bar. i need to start adding weight so my core can progress further but im unsure, should i hold a dumbbell between my feet, weighted ball, kettlebell?? which would you say is most practical?

Maybe you could use resistance bands by tucking one under each leg of the tower and then looping them over your ankles? When I do bodyweight exercises and want to increase difficulty, I just do them slower and pause in the middle. For pushups I do 4-4-4, so I take 4 seconds to get down, pause in the bottom (off the ground), then 4 seconds up. You could do the same thing with leg raises and it'll basically do the same thing as a weighted rep.
I call upon the aid of the sep7agon body builders
