Abs

[vicmack777]

How many days out of the week should i work them? Ive heard so many different variations. Could someone please clear this up for me a little?

Personally I work them in some capacity about 5 days per week, mostly with pulldown abs......

I hit em hard twice a week.

...for strength, not size. Yields both though.

I do mine 2-3 times a week for about 5 mins or so.

A lot of people seem to think the recovery period with abs is virtually non-existant, training them everyday. I've also heard it said that abs should be overtrained to create smaller tighter muscles. I like to treat abs just like any other muscle. I hit them hard and pretty heavy twice a week, and they seem to respond pretty good to that. But, I know people that train them everyday for 20-30 minutes and their abs would break my knuckles. Go figure

Once a week, especially since abs are involved in pretty much any excercise you do. But realistically, when most people ask "how do I train my abs?", they should be asking, "how should I be eating?"

Thanx a lot guys. I thought you should train them twice a week and anything more than that is overkill.
