Are you training abs as well?so what ive gathered is :
do them on an empty stomach
exhale all air out, then stick chest out and pull abs in towards spine
do this until out of breath
rest about 30 seconds,
repeat 3 more times
sound good?
I thought this to be true... but I would disagree now. I used to never train abs but my stomach holds tighter on it's own after abs 3 times a week and doing vacuums.in all honesty, start a good diet and work with the 3 major movements. You will get all the ab exercise that you need. I hardly ever do ab stuff, My squats and deads handle that.
if he saw my (tiny) abs, im sure he would disagreeI thought this to be true... but I would disagree now. I used to never train abs but my stomach holds tighter on it's own after abs 3 times a week and doing vacuums.
I wouldn't toss the blanket out like that on abs as every person varies greatly in this department.
Are you squating, deadlifting and benching? Just curious if you are doing the first two.if he saw my (tiny) abs, im sure he would disagree
i need to train my abs because their weak and small!
i just started squatting two weeks ago, i have squatted twice so far, before that i was doing incline leg press in place of it. now, i squat extremely light because i lean forward (weak core) so i do ab workouts twice a week to helpAre you squating, deadlifting and benching? Just curious if you are doing the first two.
i do have a core workout, posted right above you its:There is a ton of stuff you can do for your core. You could do Glute ham raises, good mornings, etc... Also, treat your abs like a real muscle, do weighted sets for like 8 reps. Your core will catch up real quick.
Also, if you are leaning forward on your squat, try doing box squats to help you get the feeling of leaning back and using more of your hips and ham's in the movement.
i do less than 10 reps with bodyweight, but when i do get over 10 reps, how many reps should i do with weight?if you do more then 10 reps with your bodyweight, start adding additional weight and keep it in that rep range. Go up in 5 lb increments. You'll get stronger. Cable crunches are a good start too, I do them every once and a while. Read the westside stuff, I'm actually on a westside program as we speak, it is very good.
