Killer Ab Workout

http://scoobysworkshop.com/abdominal-exercises/
This is an advanced ab workout, if you are a beginning bodybuilder please see my website for some more appropriate ab workouts. Just a reminder, ab workouts do NOT remove fat. If you have a beer belly or love handles, you need to do cardio and have better nutrition - doing ab exercises will NOT help. Why do abs? Well, not only because a 6-pack looks really cool but strong abs are key for virtually every sport except tiddley winks. Ab strength is critical for hitting a baseball, whacking a golf ball, and especially in sports involving punching where most of the power in the punch comes from your core. Even if you dont do any sports, a strong core can protect your spine from injury.

Now, people get really confused about ab workouts - do you do them once a week or every day? Do you do high reps or low reps? First lets clear the air, there is no "right" or "wrong" ab workout, it depends on your goals. The abs are like any other muscle, if you want them to get bigger and stronger, you work them out hard with heavy weight and give them plenty of rest between workouts to recover. If you want a small, flat waist like a marathon runner then you do a few minutes of abs everyday with no weight and high reps. If you want a really muscular core like a pro bodybuilder with big ab ridges and deep valleys, then workout with high weight and low rep and allow 5-7 days between workouts (morph zoom). Alles Klar?

OK, so this particular ab workout is for people who want those big abs with deep valleys. Lets get started.

This is going to be a killer 30min workout and were going to do this every 5 to 7 days. We are going to do a five supersets with about 3 minutes between. Each superset is going to consist of the following six exercises.
•crunch at max weight (dead)
•crunch with 50% weight (dead)
•bicycles with 50% weight (dead)
•crunch with 0 (dead)
•bickcles with 0 (dead)
•side plank 2x

At the end of the superset, you are going to be DEAD. Now to prove I can take my own medicine, lets do a superset.

rest 3min, repeat. Many people make the mistake of taking it at first to save energy for the sets at teh end, thats a mistake. You have to give each of the exercises 100% effort as if it were the only exercise you were going to do.

Finally, one guy who's truthful enough to say abs exercises only develop them muscles but do not clear off the layer of fat covering the abs. Bodyfat reduction = calorie deficit + low carb + some cardio

[scooby1961]

I agree with TheBearHHH, low carb diets do not work long term. The work short term but the moment you go back to normal eating, your weight balloons back up to where it was. Its much easier and healthier to lose fat the old fashioned way, by eating healthier (low fat, lotsa veggies, lotsa whole grains) and by doing more cardio.

Hi Scooby,

I cant quite grasp the idea of only doing hardcore workouts every 5-6 days.

Please explain.

Thanks,

SM

Cant grasp the idea of doing hardcore workouts every 5-7 days? The more advanced you get, the more stressful your workouts are and the more rest you need. Check out my website under Basics|Overtraining for more info

All youre vids are great except this one. Ur doing crunches REALLY bad. You use youre neck to pull up the weights. Something that proves that you are doing crunches wrong is that ur abs are very bad compared to the rest of youre body. Sorry mate, but this is a failure

[scooby1961]

No, I'm not using my neck to pull up the weights. My neck is totally relaxed and my head is resting on the weights just like its sleeping on a pillow. If you are using your neck to pull up the weights behind your head, then you are doing this exercise incorrectly and you will get injured. As I emphasize in the video, you should have zero strain on your neck if you are doing this correctly.

I too have 6 pack abs or its more like 6 line abs. everytime i sit on a chair i get lines in my stomach. lol

Breathing is one of the key points in abbs workout. It is done wrong in this video. You should exhale free while muscule contracts. Try - feel the difference.
