What do you guys think of abs?

[Stephen5454]

Are they necessary? Just looks? Any advice?

[Jack779]

A good core will help you in a lot of compound exercises

[Pain Zone]

They do help stabilize everything... do they need to be visible? no.

I think that as long as you have a flat stomach, you're fine
but if you have decent size and you don't even have a 4 pack showing, you should cut IMO

[Stephen5454]

I have love handles, and my abs aren't visible. I do have a flat stomach though. Are they just worth getting?

agree

As far as looks I could care less. I'd rather have a strong overall body, with some fat covering my stomach, than spend all my time being a skinny phuck. That being said, once you DO have a strong body, there's nothing wrong with cutting down to look your best. But too many teens just want a 6 pack and none of the work to make it look like you lift.

[Stephen5454]

IMO(A lot of people wont agree) I think they aren't all that important. Kids in my school always act as if abs are amazing and you look awful with out them. A lot of those kids are skinny and way(5'10ish 130). I think being able to lift and increase your weight is most important.

Also, the whole "chicks love a 6 pack" thing is pointless.
Unless you're a tool who takes off his shirt any chance he gets, by the time a bish sees you naked, she doesn't care how your body looks, she'll fuk you anyway

this
but, so will a belt

[Beachease]

Always had abs my whole life due to being skinny :/ now that I got into lifting I'm grateful for having abs. Abs+wide shoulders= win

[thankujebus]

Anyone have the same problem as me, I just can't seem to work them out.
I mean it's so boring and you don't see any strength gains...

[Stephen5454]

This is what I look like, and I'm happy with it.

Do weighted movements for abs. Don't do a ****load of reps for a ****load a sets. Ab pulldowns are my favorite. Abs get hit hard if you are squatting anyway.

[BlinkTwice]

Just like any other muscle

[TheguyfromDK15]

What?

you cannot seriously be happy about your current physique, dont you strive for perfection? you dont even look like you lift, lose some fat and bulk up to my current weight.

this 100%
