Six Pack Abs Workouts – No More 50 Pushups

It is very common to do way too many crunches when building Six Pack abs. All the time people come up to me for advice complaining that they have done 3 sets of 50 reps crunches for months without seeing results. It seems to be a great misunderstanding that the more push-ups you do, the better Six Pack abs you will get.

How many times have you ever seen people doing 50 reps when they are training bench press or working on their biceps? My guess is not many times. If you want to reach new levels in bench press you ad weight. If you kept on doing 60 pounds every time you did bench press you would never get anywhere. The same principles works when you exercise your Six Pack abs.

When you do Six Pack Abs Exercises you should aim for between 10 – 15 reps per set on a three – five set basis depending on how many sets you do on other exercises. Many I know with great success only do 8 reps per set. Instead they focus on increasing the resistance they work with.

You can use many methods to increase the level of your Six Pack exercises. In this article I will use sit ups or crunches as an example since I know most of you are familiar with this exercise. One tip is to use a declining bench when doing sit ups. You can also increase resistance by lifting your feet. You can hold them in the air of find something to rest them on. By putting a handle on your chest you will also increase the resistance.

It is a good strategy to combine a set of different six packs abs exercises in you workout schedule. Not only should you work your abdominal muscles. I would suggest implementing one exercise for your side muscles and one exercise for your lower back muscles. This will give you a leaner posture and also strengthen your abs as well. Also keep in mind that you have several muscles in your abdominal region that all need to be exercised.

Back in school we were thought that you could exercise your abs every day. There was something unique about these muscles that did not make them tired. This is only true when you leave out resistance in your training. If you do resistance six pack abs training, two times a week is way better. Let your abdominal muscles rest.

In this article we have examined the need of resistance in six pack growth and we have seen that when using resistance we only need to exercise out six pack abs twice a week. To get the fat away and reviled the six pack abs hidden under it we also need to implement some cardio exercises and a healthy diet into our plan. It is important to focus on increasing our metabolism on a daily basis. To build a stronger body will also help in this process.
