ABS DAILY WORKOUT
I have had a pudding belly since I was about 10 years old. Not overweight by any means (or if overweight only slightly) but it's now time to get 6-pack/8-pack abs. This will come from a combination of weightlifting, cardio and diet. To help me get there I have a target to complete 12,000 situps (33 per day) and 12 hours of planking (2 minutes per day) in 2023.
Today:

WEIGHTLIFTING
Someone at my gym told me that hypertrophy is best achieved through 3-5 sets of 6-12 reps with 60-90 seconds rest between sets. I want to research on this forum and other websites to confirm this but I have heard similar things like that before so it seems correct enough.
For at least a year now (probably longer) I've been in the bad habit of having 135-180 seconds rest between sets. I imagine this allows me to lift slightly heavier but perhaps at the cost of effective hypertrophy.
So today I dropped the weight a bit and went for 60-90 seconds rest between sets.
Also, with squats, I've developed a bad habit of taking long pauses during a set. Eg. doing 3-4 reps, pausing for quite a long time, 2-3 more reps, pause for quite a long time, more reps etc. I'd like to remove that habit.

ABS DAILY WORKOUT
I have had a pudding belly since I was about 10 years old. Not overweight by any means (or if overweight only slightly) but it's now time to get 6-pack/8-pack abs. This will come from a combination of weightlifting, cardio and diet. To help me get there I have a target to complete 12,000 situps (33 per day) and 12 hours of planking (2 minutes per day) in 2023.
Today:
34 situps
1 minute plank x2
1/5/23
21.1 km jog in 2:04:12 (10.19 km/hour)

Felt pain in my lower back after doing this. Same area that hurt after my car accident in 2008-2009. This gives me some aches and pains periodically every few months or so. Lasted about 15-20 minutes.
Not sure if this was due to having less time between sets (60-90 seconds), no pauses during sets, or worse form because I'm unconsciously trying to get through the set quicker because I'm no longer pausing during the set.
Next time I will increase it to 120-150 seconds between sets, and I will focus on doing the reps slower and with better form.

ABS DAILY WORKOUT
I have had a pudding belly since I was about 10 years old. Not overweight by any means (or if overweight only slightly) but it's now time to get 6-pack/8-pack abs. This will come from a combination of weightlifting, cardio and diet. To help me get there I have a target to complete 12,000 situps (33 per day) and 12 hours of planking (2 minutes per day) in 2023.
Today:

Felt pain in my right arm during this exercise.
Have been feeling it for a few days.
Can't remember when it started.
Definitely didn't feel it during my last weightlifting day on 20/10/23.
May have been from doing lateral raise as part of gym class on 7/11/23.
Not sure if just soreness or muscle tear.
Will monitor.
Also felt the same pain when doing a few skullcrushers (23.1x8), lateral raises (2.5kg) and pec machine (25kg, 50kg).

ABS DAILY WORKOUT
I have had a pudding belly since I was about 10 years old. Not overweight by any means (or if overweight only slightly) but it's now time to get 6-pack/8-pack abs. This will come from a combination of weightlifting, cardio and diet. To help me get there I have a target to complete 12,000 situps (33 per day) and 12 hours of planking (2 minutes per day) in 2023.
Today:
68 situps
1 minute plank x4
Stationary Bike: 5 km (level 16 resistance).
Cheers,
