Ab rollouts or medicine ball walkouts, turkish get up, grasshoppers, med ball slams, plank, flag, eagle sit ups.....list is endless really

But train them like any other bodypart low sets reps and heavy....heavy within safety and good form.......

i dont train abs at the minute, but i am going to start this week. got an exercise ball, are they good to use or just a gmmick?

I like the exercise where you laay on your back, raise your legs and some one pushes them down hard and you resist.....bad description ut do you know what i mean?

Good idea to start doing them and yeah the exercise/gym balls are very good, just ask sam69.....try doing a plank type exercise on one of em...

its an ok exercise for martial arts, but it tends to work hip flexors more than anything

yeah a know the one , we used it in thai boxin we also made circles as well where ya guy pushed ya legs back round (now thats a bad decription)


a might get me self a fitball, never really tried them out or gave them a chance,how much are they ?

see havent been training abs lately,, but hwen a was a had been doin weighted crunchs and leg raises, but with me still been ripped they showing good

imo my upper abs are spot on(aesthetically.sp?) but am looking to bring out the lower abs to hopefully get an 8 pk goin on for next summer, and muu oliques are really never trained, withh me involement in combat sports a didnt bother

this sounds vain and to be perfectly honest it is , but am looking at creating a real good mid riff as possible


so whats ur thoughts on this traing does anyone train them in vanity and aslo like bb how much does geneitics play apart, were all different shapes and sizes , some have big chucky abs, some with lop sided abs

I`ve got and its the bane of my life...lol...But forgot the link. Sam69 knows the best place

Look at them as also creating strength and support for your other lifts...

Then diet and training need to be right

Genetics will play some part in their shape, but to make em grow and show you`ve got to train and eat right...

cheers for that cookie

so would u say that creating a 8 pack is down to genetics too, as far as i know everyones abs are split into 8 segements on each side of the abs ?

Not everyone has 8 ab muscles (frontal abs) as you are looking at the whole area (core, pillar of strength etc etc etc) you`ve got the obliques, intercostals, hip flexors, etc etc so all would have to be trained to some degree (direct or indirectly) with a good diet to fully show them off..

am with you, guess ive been lookin at too many diagrams off u humans , where body shape is perfect
