Abs and resting

[kingOFbeers]

I basically work my abs 5 days a week.....cardio six days a week, biceps 3 times a week, and chest and back 3 times a week. I have a ton of football injuries to my legs which Is why I don't lift with them anymore.....I've been told That working the same groups over and over is bad......but I see a lot of good results .......is 1 rest day enough?

Toooooo much! Give your body a rest.....

Do u think the results will be better if I mix in another routine to rest the current muscle groups I repetitively hit.

 

[hvactech]

No, look into a 3-4 day routine....why are you working your muscles so frequently?

I was 325 lbs...currently 217 ...goal is 205......looking at my results and being able to see my abs has prompted me to work even harder.....was just curious that If I rest more , if the muscles would build faster.

I never train abs... Abs are made in the kitchen

The mistake you are making is not training your legs.

 

[kingOFbeers]

I have torn both acls multiple times and have had a couple ankle surgeries .....I have very little cartilage left which is why I'm scared to train them .....u think safe ok to start ?

 

[ZiR RED]

With good technique and good programming, yes.

 

[kingOFbeers]

Ok....I'm gonna give it a shot ...I'll of course start slow

You could even see results with one day a week. Abs are involved in more exercises than you think
