so i have been told multiple things from several people about working abs every day. can you or not:duel:
All muscles are made up of thousands of fast and slow twitch fibers. Abs are not primarily one or the other. I talk to a guy that has his masters in exercise science, and is a certified personal trainer and this is what he tells me.Abs are fast twitch muscles and recover within hours of doing them. It is perfrectly alright to hit em every day along with calves. I have been told this by many trainers who have worked with some excellent bodybuiders. I dont know about everybody else but i hit my abs with them heavy weight and they are never sore. But unless your bodyfat is low enough you can do em till your blue in the face but no one will ever see em
This is true to an extent but that statement only goes so far. Like you can't say eat 20 grams of protein and see if it works for you. Stuff like training abs everyday is one of those times when you need to stray from that statement and stick to what is set in stone.Just experiment and do whatever works for you cause everybody is different
this is very common. fat deposits are typically higher in the lower abdominals.it seems very difficult for me to target my lower abs most of the time though. i even have much more definition in my upper abs.
Cosign, this is especially common for males.this is very common. fat deposits are typically higher in the lower abdominals.
take a caliper measurement on your upper abs and compare them to your lower. i guarantee your lower measurement will be higher.
doing all the lower ab work in the world won't help this.
diet.

I never do any direct ab work. Squats, GMs, dead lifts, and they seem to be working fine.
Soreness isn't an indicator of growth and neither is the burning. The burning is the build up of muscle toxins like lactic acid. The soreness is caused by either new fiberal patterns (new exercises) or the build up of lactic acid the day before.I do abs till they burn, if they are sore the next day, then i won't but i usually have a fast recovery with them
