Abs on a no show!!!! - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

kevo · 23-09-2006, 09:23 PM

Need some help with my lacking abs guys, currently training them once a week with hanging knee raises and crunches but its making no difference, not really carrying any weight anywhere else so I guess Im just not hitting them enough!!

wiseguy83 · 24-09-2006, 11:12 AM

try training them everyother day or 2 on 1 of.cardio and clean diet is a big factor.

everyone has abs mate i bet u still have BF hiding them

also abs can be hit 3 times a week imo

samurai69 · 24-09-2006, 12:19 PM

treat them like all other muscles and add some weight to you situps etc.........also losing some BF will get em showing

kevo · 25-09-2006, 04:14 PM

cheers lads, I reckon it could be the bf% to be honest but I dont have a clue what % Im at, I eat clean anyway and walk miles a day with my job so I was presuming it was undertraining rather than the bf% but now Im not sure! I should maybe up the cardio to 3 times a week but dont ant to hinder my gains by doing too much. :confused:

If you want abs, you are gonna have to diet.

LondonGeezer · 26-09-2006, 04:30 AM

if you had a bf% of say around 10%.. then even with what your doing once a week you'd see your abs.. diet and go find out what bf% you are. Not sure where to go and get that checked i assume a good fitness centre.

Well, abs are a muscle, some guys dont work them very hard but only up to a contest.
You can have bulky abs that actually make you look heavier in a shirt.
I agree though that abs are very important for core.

kevo · 27-09-2006, 08:02 PM

Hmm reckon Im way off 10% then lol! I will just hit them hard and worry about dieting etc after my cycle as I cant do both at the same time as we all know ;)

LondonGeezer · 27-09-2006, 11:12 PM

yep.. goodluck

What kind of legs lifts?

legs straight up to waste, or knees to waist? :lift:

**hackskii** · 16-11-2006, 05:33 PM

Knees but I so see guys doing them strait leg.
That would make resistance a bit more
