In this short video, fitness influencer Eric Roberts explains that traditional high‑rep bodyweight crunches do not burn belly fat and therefore won’t reveal a six‑pack. He argues that abdominal muscles, like any other muscle, need progressive overload to become more defined, recommending weighted ab exercises such as cable crunches, weighted sit‑ups (with a plate overhead), and gym ab‑crunch machines. Roberts stresses that these strength‑focused movements must be paired with a calorie‑deficit diet to actually see the abs, and he directs viewers to a link in his bio for a calorie‑deficit calculator.
