i wish i had abs like yours to bandit. maybe doing 200 situps a day.
Honestly abs are very hard to get. (Especially depending on your genetics... Like calves)
You have to constantly change up your routine.
High volume no weight, really heavy weight low volume. Top up crunches, leg up lifts. You should be changing your ab workout every 2 weeks. The second I get complacent... The growth stops.
Too many people are just comfortable doing 100 crunches a day, and every once in a while holding a 8lb ball.
I promise that's not gonna work!
You have to keep challenging your abs, never let them get comfortable with your workout.
And yes abs definitely respond to overloading.
Do 4 sets of 30 hanging leg raises, then 3 sets of 10 holding a 8-12lb ball with your feet.
Then 4 sets of 30 bicycles, then 3 sets of 10 band crunches.
Mix up body weight and overloading in the same workout.
And I don't give a flying fuck what other people say... SIDE BENDS FUCKING WORK!!!
I have some awesome obliques... I do 4 sets of 30 (each side) holding a 30lb dumbbell.
Then 3 sets of 20 with a 45lb dumbbell
Then I just rep the fuck out (like a pause set)
With a 20lb dumbbell.
No sets just reps... Like 60 or so.
So if you're just doing 4 sets of 10 for abs... You're not going to get the results you want.
hope to learn more from you in time to come..
