Whats Best For SIX PACK ABS?

**Max20-MX** · 09-10-2004, 04:35 PM

Hi.
Some trainers have told me the best thing is to excercise every day, and some have told me abs need the same rest the other muscle need so they dont have to be trained more than twice a week.

Can a six-packer tell me whats the best thing for strong six-pack abs?]

thanks

diet+cardio

You dont even have to really train your abs to have a 6pac

this has nothing to do with powerlifting though...

bump these 2 on diet/cardio. i don't have visible abs yet. but fyi, i was doing abs everyday i trained (3-4 days per week) over the summer, as directed by some pretty serious powerlifters who utilize the westside bb club methods and i've gotten thicker abs which make my stomach look fatter in clothes

This does not belong in the powerlifting section? Looks are for bodybuilding, besides why have a six pack when you can have a keg

heavyweight is the best 6 pack builder,but it will make mid-section look bigger. the only recourse is being low bodyfat so you can flash your big 6 pack off. my upper abs stick out as far as my chest , but i do heavy crunches very heavy.

Six packs are for bodybuilders.

thanks for your replies. My bf is preety low and my mid section is strong compared with other parts of my body.

now a question> what do you recomend for those SO-HARD-TO-GET muscles on the sides of the abs covering the lower ribs___?????

**BigWoopieFizz** · 09-13-2004, 01:22 PM

I recommend going to a bodybuilding forum.

**John Promise** · 09-13-2004, 03:49 PM

Yeah...these questions don't belong in a PL forum.

Now if you were to ask how to get stronger abs, then we could help.

MAX heavy weight builds muscle, obliques need heavy weight too. move a certain way when muscle responds this is the way to exercise it. this formula works for all muscles . grab a couple of 45 pound plates and crunch sideways OUCH !!!!!

wrong section

diet+Cardio

imho, they're worked enough on core lifts that one doesn't need any direct ab work.

**blockzilla** · 10-25-2004, 09:53 AM

$AJ, are you saying that from a functional health & fitness standpoint abs do not benefit from direct work, or that from a bodybuilding standpoint of getting your abs to show better they do not benefit from direct work? (sorry I could have phrased that better) or maybe both?

I think from a pure bodybuilding standpoint, which may be vain at times, direct ab work can definitely help make your "6-pack" more impressive. Keep in mind I am only referring to people who already have low enough bodyfat to have visible abdominal muscles. I can only go by my own experience but abdominal workouts 2x a week have helped build up my abs and made them more visible and impressive while keeping consistent bodyfat %.

**$AJ** · 10-25-2004, 10:03 AM

it's up to you - even when i was shredded i never really saw much from training them. most pro's don't even do any ab work, although that may because they don't need their abs extended out more.

i've just never seen or believed in any true and hardcore reason to give them that much time, but that's just me.

**Derek0783** · 10-25-2004, 11:17 PM

quickest way to get a six pack on your abs is to sit back relax and use your fat stomach as a tabletop for your 6 bud ices...

Or you can train abs with weights three days a week...do cardio...and diet.

It really takes all three...just like it takes all three for every other part of your body to shine.
