My abs used to be very weak. I couldn't even hold the middle position of a sit-up for a few seconds without having my lower back bend backwards untill i worked my abs with dead bugs. So i wasn't able to do most ab exercises. But, now i can even hold a hollow hold for almost a minute while keeping my back perfectly flat. (No, i don't have visible abs. They are hidden under some unnecessary fat)
I especially focused on my form. With each rep, i paused at the bottom position, activated my glute to deactivate my hip flexors, exhaled and pushed my ribs in. I kept my back flat and kept my pelvic posteriorly tilted. Doing a good form makes the dead bugs significantly harder.
Now i suggest everyone with weak abs to do a lot of dead bugs. It is probably the best exercise for people with weak abs.
