Working out your abs?

[Eloi1985]

how often are you supposed to work out the abdominal muscles?
this question is for those of you on here who I see who have noticeable six packs. I'm sure you didn't just get them by Magic and I'm sure that you have to work out to maintain that right?
So what is your workout strategy and what are the best ab exercises you can recommend

 

[stevesmi]

well you can actually train the abs daily if you want. for me i train them 2-3x per week but i used to train them at the end of every workout

Nah. Diet.

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

Abs are not easy to get, so if you want them fast, train daily

 

[JasonPriest]

you want to get lean first to see them

then to pop them i like to burn them up 2-3x per week

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]

Training abs 2-3 times a week......

 

[RoySimpson]

You want abs focus on diet!!

 

[ballin2504]

Diet to show them. Training to make them pop.

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

You can train them more often but really it comes down to being lean.

The best workout for your abs is Hardstyle plank, Dead bug and Barbell back squat. But just like any other muscle, your abs need a break too! That doesn't mean you can't activate your ab muscles during your warm-up with exercises like Planks, Inchworms, and other balance and stabilization exercises, but you shouldn't train them every day.
