How often do you train abs?

[woodfich]

I use to train them after every workout (I workout 3-4 times a week).
However, now I let them rest for a week and noticed a significant gain in their strength.
So, should I keep on working them every workout or is it better to give them more rest?

[piszczel]

I train them once a week, just do 3 exercises on my shoulders/traps/abs day.

Your abs work a lot when you squat and deadlift as well, so there's no need to train them so often.

It's funny how a lot of people see abs as a "special muscle". Just train them like every other muscle. I do abs twice a week.

Well, they are because they don't grow like others do, and they are mainly there to support the back and organs, not to lift weight.

i usually just do 5 sets on legs day, gonna start doing them on off days aswell tho

I do them before chest and back day.
I'm not looking for strength gains with 'em, just stabilizing / endurance.

You traing your abs whenever you work out just saying.
Isolate them once or twice a week but its not necessary.

I never do isolation exercises for my abs..they get worked when I squat and with some other lifts.

Decline situps 2 days a week, holding the weight behind my head. I try to increase the weight every month or so, up to 12x25 lbs right now.
