Good or Bad? My simple, yet effective plan to getting those nice ABS.

[NYbaseball4]

I hurt my shoulder and basically have to stay away from almost all chest and shoulder exercises. I can do a little bit of biceps, triceps, back, and lower body.

However, I want to get those abs and look toned for the next few months. So basicially my plan is:

Cardio about 3x per week-usually the bike for about 20-30 minutes
Some Lower body lifting, not too heavy
A lot of abs, probably 3x per week
Drink a lot of water, and don't eat a lot of crap..eat healthier/protein

Simple i know, but effective?

Anyone? Input is appreciated (REPS)

that's basically the golden recipe, just make sure you treat your abs like any other muscle group and don't do 500 reps with them.

I think you'll be alright. Just make sure the diet is right on, as it is the key to good looking abs. Keep workin on them hard and I think you'll see results.

it sounds alright, around what is your bf% ? I would still work every muscle that the injury allows you to.

I searched something about abs. There is this 8 min ab workout you can do at your own home. I tried it and it is great. First you do a simple 50 crunches, then go to the crunches were you turn to the side with your opposite elbows touching the opposite side knee. You do 25 of those, then you go directly to 30 leg lifts. If you know what those are. Where you lay back, everything is on the ground besides your legs which are about 45 degrees off the ground. And you lift them slightly about 25 times. At that point you should feel your abs burning a whole lot. It hurts but helps, then you go to 50 crunches. All of that is done sequential. Do not stop unless you don't want to do it. It help, I have been doing it for a couple days now and seen a little improvement. I recommend you try it.

as long as your diet is in order.

Cool. I would recomend stairs or rowing machne for cardio. Both burn more than biking for sure and a re greta for bodybuilders, esperically the rowing cardio machine.

in fact, that what i'll do the next month...in March i begin my cut with the followin 5 steps:

*DIET in check, Calorie Deficit, 6 small meals, cut the carbs after 6 PM
*CARDIO 5 times a week, 3 HIIT form and 2 slow cardio form ( sprinter, run on a camp, rope jump [ very effective! ]
*WEIGHT LIFTING as a bulk, few reps-Heavy weight ( legs, abs, arms, shoulders, chest, back) and the traiditional compounds ( bech press, deadlift, squats, rows)
*SUPPLEMENTS protein, to get a higher protein daily intake, creatine ( MMC or CEE ) , multi, fish or flax oil and maybe any fat burner like Lipo 6
*MIRROR AND MEASURAMENTS: thats the way you'll stay motivated and the most important to get those 5 steps..

good luck i hope this help you
