Shadow sir in here please more on building abs...

[superqt4u2nv]

I was stating that you can "look" leaner by building up the abs so that they will show more at a higher bf.



Asuuming you dont have the diet by tonite - continue on what we discussed till you see

This is true from what I have seen on others. I have really focused more now on working my abs I do it EOD pretty much my bf is still to hight to see them but last time they didn't show up tell 2 days out I would rather not go through that stress again. Any suggestions on how to build them up exercise wise. I basically do a few diffrent things now. Roman chairs, seated cable crunches, weighted crunches, and the ab rocker where I pause at the top for a 3 count the slowly lower at a 6 count.

Can you please go into this a little further I am sure there is others with questions thanks

you can also throw in some side situps on a hyperextension bench...they get worked with the twisting bicycles though.....


always balance with an appropriate number of sets for lumbars

Day 1:


SUPERSET:


Lying leg scissors and bicycles with upperbody motion(knees touching opposite knees)


3 cycles of one minute on each exercise


and


Weighted Cable crunches 3 sets of 12-15






Day 2:



Hanging leg raises 3 sets of 12-15

Incline crunches while catching a medicine ball....have tosser vary height AND side to side motion....catch at top/on the way down


Swiss ball crunches

I have done all of those and they work very well. I've also had success with rope crunches going below parallel & weighted declines.

qt, i have not worked obliques in lawd knows how long. You aren't the only one. The only time I ever did was with twisting bicycles & those BURNNNNNNNNNNN...

For me, specific oblique work thickens up my midsection, kinda like add/abductor work 'thickens' my thighs, I WANT a gap there.

There is a trampoline that I set upright and toss the medicine ball off that when I'm sans partner. Good luck girl.

Good suggestions here.

I was thinking of tossing it against a wall some of the medicine balls are kinda bouncy I will make sure to try this in the womans only area as to lesson the amount of people I look like a fool in front of. LOL

I would also suggest that as well on a mat or if you can throw a decline bench in front of it, and make the eccentric a slow full rep, NOT pulling with your legs, they are just there to hold you, not to pull you up, so you really focus on the abdomen.

This contraption I have used is in the middle of the walkway from the wo/mens locker room lol... I'm sure I've hit something/one at some point Ha ha!

Doe sanyone feel the burn much faster and more intense once you ARE leaner?
When my BF% is higher it takes many more reps for me to feel the burn in abs...
I am guessing the blood flow is "spreading" itself around instead of going directly to do muscle wall...
