>>60003870yes but you don't need to. in fact you don't need to train abs at all.
>>60003885That’s retarded dude. I know lowering your body fat is important but abs are a muscle and you can make them bigger by working them. Low BF% is more important tho
>>60003904If you weightlift with proper form, your abs are already getting worked. You can absolutely work them more if you really want though, I would recommend doing a few variations on planks.
>>60003904I've never worked abs in my life and yet have a great midsection when lean
>>60003870Yeah I do 3x10 ab wheel every day and have sick abs even while bulking.
>>60004408Nah, do something active like windshield wipers. Atleast that looks good.
>>60003904>abs are a muscle and you can make them bigger by working them. Yeah that's nice sweaty. But your abs suck because you're still too fat. The difference is going to be absolutely trivial from intensive ab training
>>60004515Is this true? Compounds already work them out enough?
>>60003870>it was very difficult
>>60003870I do abs 5 days a week at the end of my session.They are a bit of a meme, asthetics wise, as lower bf% will be the deciding factor if you see them or not but having a strong core helps everything else out.Anyone that says don't bother just hates doing them.
>>60003885train abs for performance and injury prevention you faggot
>>60005244no one gets injured from not doing core isolation
>>60003870You can, with diminishing returns. Stick to once every other day.
>>60004834In most cases, no. There are some people with great ab genetics. It is safe to say however that a guy who trains abs at least once every couple days will have better looking abs than the same guy if he didn't train them.
>>60005272Lower back pain intensifies in old boomers with weeks ass cores >>60005272
>>60003870everyone ITT post abs
>>60004428You expect me to believe that without a >post body
>>60005500This was my first cut last summer
>>60005523what's your height?
>>600055435'9
>>60005551thx
>>60005543He's 5'6 to 5'9 calling it.
I do one set to failure, aiming for almost 20 reps with the plate selection, of situps with my hip flexors disengaged, probably once every two months or so just to make sure I still got it. You're gonna want to train them every couple days if they're just non existent or every week if they're weak. Otherwise heavy fuckin lifting will maintain them.The idea that they can be trained with more than 20 reps and on consecutive days is why yours suck.Posting a stale image to mog the naysayers with because I'm mid bulk right now.
>>60005575you got me
>>60003885fucking kike post abs right this instant
>>60005580Do you fast reps or holds? Imo 5-10 sec holds should be the mist effective core exercise.
>>60005605I do a quick efficient concentric just to get the weight to the top and a slow painful eccentric for the gains with every lift I do.
>>60005598already did
>>60005523yoooo looking nice, can u pls post workout doe
>>60005642I don't work abs, if that's what you mean
>>60003885Enjoy your crippling lower back pains, don't foget to blame the deadlifts even though you don't deadlift at all.
>>60005716no just post your whole body workout please
>>60005755You can just do dive bombers/hindu push ups for the back pain.
>>60005523Fuck man, I've been working abs everyday, 200g protein a day at 1800 cals and I haven't made any progress aesthetically. Gainz are coming in hard tho cuz of the high protein intake
>>60004408Guess how I know you've never seen your own abs.
>>60005785Well no shit bro thats too many calories and I'm assuming too much protein. How much do you weigh?
>>60005764no gym since march of last year so i've been doing the best I can with my 45lb adjustable dumbbells. Back:one arm rows 45lb 7x15 db shrugs 45lb 6x20bicep curls starting at 30lbs 6 x failure going down in weight if it's too muchLegs: split squats 90lb 6x15rdls 90lb 5x15Chest, Delts, Tris:db incline bench 45lb 7x20db shoulder press 45lb 6x15skull-crushers 30lb 4x12lateral raises 25lb 6x failurebesides that I do calf raises every other day for 30 minutes
>>60005928damn 30 minutes hahaha that seems kind of like a lot. Also, why don't people just do Push Pull Legs program? Obviously, if they like want something like the rib muscles they'd add an exercise to a workout
>>60005815Half the people here tell me it's an aggressive cut, the other half say it's not enough. I'm 170lbs at 5'11
>>60006031That's very aggressive, you'll lose your muscle not fat
>>60006031yeah, it's definitely cardio-level shit man slow that down, maybe do some calisthenics?
>>60005523not bad bro
>>60005523mirin
anyone got good before & after pics of abs, not tensingA part of me doesn't really believe that I can flatten abs when not tensed. I have definition when I tense, but gut sticks out when I relax
>>60005523Perfect midsection, everything else is dyel
>>60007509I only had 4 months at the gym prior to the lockdown so it's quite reasonable that I'm a dyel
>>60007539That’s good, bro
>>60005411so if youre not an old boomer youre good?
>>60003885post body dyel
>>60008653He did, dumbass. You post body.
>>60009214No :)
I've been training my abs everyday with just ab rollers and I'm starting to get se definition even though I still have stomach fat. When I'm lean I'm gonna look good as fuck
>>60009374Congratulations on admitting that you're a dyel.
>>60009523Not nearly as dyel as that fag :)
>>60009539I posted body too. It's the second and final body post in the thread. Go ahead and scroll up and get mogged
>>60009539Then post your picture if you apparently look better than him, faggot.
>>60009647>>60009681No ;)
>>60009700Then post your height, weight, body fat, bmi, ffmi, wrist size, shoe size, underwear color, home address, and social security number.
>>60009787Seethe more
>>60004447Only the wheel ?Also is it true strong abs is good to reduce th risk of injuries like hernia ?
>>60004428I train my abs just to burn the fat
>>60009891go on a walk instead, much more effective.
>>60009857Wheel is the only ab isolation I do, but I also squat 3 times a week and dl once.
>>60009805CopePost bank account info and full name
>>60009958Oh, and I do a lot of weighted chins, which I believe also help to build abs.
>>60009973>defending another "man" this muchgod you really are a fag :)
>>60009992I am defending the very principle of body posting. We're nothing without our semi-nude photographs to prove it.
>>60010085Ok homo we all know that you like that tiny dyel fag
>>60009992You don't lift, if you do, you look like shit lmao.
>>60010126Cope homo dyel
>>60009978>weighted chinsDo you flex your abs or the body will do it naturally with the traction force and whatnot ?
>>60010348Take your meds
>>60010379I personally keep mine flexed, in part for stability. I usually do them at home and always noticed my abs look sick afterwards, so I think they are getting some work.
>>60005928Wow, thanks. What made you decide to do ~6x sets for your workouts?
>>60005928Isn't that a little light for the db shrugs? Do you do so many extra sets because the 45 lbs is just too light?
>>60011065I don't have access to heavier weights so I just upped the volume.
>>60011083All I have access to is a max weight of 45lb on a dumbbell. I also do really slow reps on the shrugs.
>>60005928Why no normal db bench press? Just too little weight?
>>60011143Yeah
>>60003885thanks Rich, Rest in protein
>>60005580buy a new camera jeez
