Do Pro Body Builders Really Not Work Their Abs on Regular Basis?

[MrMuscle]

yeah tats right..we pros dont...

ops, i mean diet and cardio is key for a good midsection. cuz if you train a good split, and do exercises like squats, deadlifts and so on, you will have developed some muscle there. you just have to get it out in the open.

personally i love doing abs..so i used to do 1000 reps of different variations every day..i didnt get a sixpack from it..but i got a strong midsection..thats the way boxers and martial artists do it.

In the off-season, pros don't work there abs(most don't) why? They don't want to burn the cals-----hell some of these guys don't like to walk upstairs at all in the off season----And when there that heavy, they won't be able to concentrate( the squeeze) when hitting abs anyway. They rely on muscle memory for this bodypart. And will hit abs hard in the pre-contest weeks-- along with lipo(if needed) and etching of the abs and glutes.....

If a bodybuilder is hitting his abs in the offseason--its because he may have weak ab muscles and want to bring them up--(the only way to know if they are a weak body part is to diet down tight and see what they look like) 12 weeks of strict dieting and ab training will bring anybody's abs in--

My advice to you is if you have never dieted down to really get a look at your abs(5-7% range) then do it. If you are a guy that carries a lot of bodyfat, and are happy with that- then just hit your abs once a week and don't waste the energy training your abs more then that because no matter how much you train them, they aren't going to seen without a diet anyway---Use the time and energy to hit a bodypart that will be seen peace
