Adding Weights To Ab Workouts !!!SIX PACK ABS!!! (Brandon Carter)

Go to http://BuildMuscleBurnFat.info/ my FREE workout plan Build Muscle and Burn Fat FAST AS HELL!


Weighted ab training has emerged as a healthy alternative to the old standby of performing a thousand sit-ups with nothing more than body weight resistance. While many people may assume that weight ab training is nothing more than slapping a dumbbell across your chest while grinding out endless sit-ups and crunches, there are many more effective exercises.
Why Add Resistance?
The primary reason for adding resistance to your standard ab routine is the same reason you add resistance to any other muscle group on the body -- to increase the challenge and force adaptations through progressive overload. The abs are a muscle group like any other, and the best way to gain in strength and muscle tone is to add resistance.
Traditional Weighted Exercises
By using a weight plate, dumbbell or medicine ball, many exercises can be made more challenging and effective. This works best with ab exercises like sit-ups, crunches, decline sit-ups and straight-leg sit-ups. It can, however, also work for exercises like knee and leg raises, by either adding ankle weights or holding a medicine ball between the feet.
When adding weight, aim for fewer target reps. Six to twelve reps per set will keep you in the hypertrophy zone for quality muscle development. Choose a weight that is challenging but still allows you to work through a full range of motion for all of your desired repetitions. Aim to increase repetitions or weight each week to ensure continued progress.
Nontraditional Weighted Exercises
Adding resistance also opens the possibility of challenging your abs in new and innovative ways. Use the cable machine to take your abdominal workouts to the next level. By using the cables to create new pushing, pulling and twisting motor patterns, the abs are forced to contract and stabilize the body in new ways, further accelerating their development.

[SuperSelenio]

hey man thank you very much for your videos, i don't really can afford a gym so i m just following your advices and your videos and its really helpfull, keep the good work man. i have a question though, what do you eat and how often to make your muscle mass grow? and what is your diet right now?

[BrandonCarterTV]

@SuperSelenio Thanks man! I am really happy your finding the info helpful! you dont need a gym. Its easier to work out in a gym, but its no unnecessary if you know what your doing. I will do a video on my current diet, but that might not mean any thing to you because our goals are not the same. I have a video already up on dieting to gain mass and one for dieting to loose fat... or just click the link in the description

I wish you would make a video explaining the "Plateau effect" in an easy to understand, simple way.. I try and explain it to people that ask me about my body and they just look at me like I'm speaking Spanish or something. I'd just send them to your video.

[BrandonCarterTV]

[bronxpimpfalife]

@Geistero race doesn't matter, when it comes down to it, how tone or big you are depends on your genetics.

[kcamp111060]

side abbs? you mean obliques? lol i like your videos man.

[Torcaski]

@simcardpro Ye that's fine, wait til your a little older for the heavy stuff, you'll be thankful later on in life, unweighted ab work is fine, as is most body weight exercises like pushups, chinups, unweighted squats etc, that way you'll be ripped instead of big, which is better at your age

[simcardpro]

@Torcaski you Think this is a good workout ido cardio then chinups but i do ab workouts on my chinup bar
