Ab routine

[Christenson26]

Hey guys. I need to figure out a decent Ab routine. I'm starting to clean up my diet from bulking. Not quite cutting yet, just kinda cutting down on carbs, sugar, and watching what I eat more....Anyways, any ideas? What do you guys do?

mine's pretty weak...lol i do two excercises, twice a week.

weighted crunches (machine)
40lbs x 12 reps, 3 sets

side bends
25 lbs x 12 reps, 3 sets

Mines weak too. Weighted crunches on the machine as well, every other day. I've been bulking and it's a cold ass winter in Missouri so I figured why work on something. No ones gonna see. Haha. But it's time to start taking it a little more seriously.

You hit -5 as a high for the day yet in Missouri? Cuz we did 2 weeks ago.

Hahaha it was about that cold a few weeks back. When that big snow storm blew through the mid west.

i've tried several of these new "21st century" type of excercises for several weeks and it was not giving me the results i currently get from my weighted crunch machine and side laterals. I know its supposed to work better than what I am doing, however it not only is not as effective but i hate doing them lol

I use a deck of cards. Pick an abb exercise before you flip a card and the face value is the amount of reps you have to do. Face card is 10 reps, jokers and aces are 1 minute of planking. It helps if you pick 2 or 3 separate exercises and focus on squeezing your abbs on every rep. It's what I do when I'm stuck in a hotel room or when I'm home and feel like doing a little without going to the gym
