How often do you guys work abs

[Fitguy308]

Just curious how often and when you train abs I do it every day I train is that to much to little and how many different exercises do you do

 

[bigbassturd]

Twice a week. I do alot of pullups on bi/back day, and that works abs anyways, so I do abs on that day and then again on my cardio only day.

Everyday I like inverted sit ups, inverted crunches, inverted side crunches, hanging leg raises,

I train my core everyday that I lift.

Every day I'm in the gym. That's 5-6 days. Weight training days (4 days a week)I work core for about 20 minutes. The other 2-3 days it's more like 40. I let the fatigue and soreness I feel dictate the level of intensity I use on any given day.

rarely do i isolate them.

if you do compound lifts you are working your abs along with them. box squats, pullups.. work the abs enough.

i also do yoga which will work the core ...

I do direct weighted core work 1-2 times per week, but a lot of your great heavy compounds are great for working the core like squats and deads

^^^ this, hit them on cardio days, tighten them everytime I do my compound lifts!

I almost never do direct ab work. Heavy weight ab work make ur abs look bulky and thick. As we all know abs are all diet.
