A big mistake I see on a regular basis is people doing too many reps when they work on building six pack abs. A common misunderstanding is that the more pushups you do, the stronger your abs will get. This mistake is something we picked up at kids gym where all the six pack exercises we knew was crunches. We were thought that the more reps we did the stronger out six pack abs would be.
When doing bench press or arm crunches you never do 50 reps per set. Instead you increase the weight of what you are lifting. You probably understand that you will never get the chest muscles you want if you keep pushing 60 pounds for years. When you want to grow stronger you add weight to your training. It is the same when you work on your six pack abs.
A good number of reps to aim for is between 10 and 15. I have also seen people doing as little as 8 reps. If you are only doing 8 reps I would suggest doing 5 sets. If you do between 10 and 15 reps, 3 sets would be enough. Try increasing the resistance for each new set and make sure you struggle hard to make the last rep in each set.
You can use many methods to increase the level of your six pack exercises. In this article I will use sit ups or crunches as an example since I know most of you are familiar with this exercise. One tip is to use a declining bench when doing sit ups. You can also increase resistance by lifting your feet. You can hold them in the air of find something to rest them on. By putting a handle on your chest you will also increase the resistance.
It is a good strategy to combine a set of different six packs abs exercises in you workout schedule. Not only should you work your abdominal muscles. I would suggest implementing one exercise for your side muscles and one exercise for your lower back muscles. This will give you a leaner posture and also strengthen your abs as well. Also keep in mind that you have several muscles in your abdominal region that all need to be exercised.
Back in school we were thought that you could exercise your abs every day. There was something unique about these muscles that did not make them tired. This is only true when you leave out resistance in your training. If you do resistance six pack abs training, two times a week is way better. Let your abdominal muscles rest.
We have now gone through the importance of implementing resistance in our abdominal workout routine. We have also seen that we only need to exercise our abs twice a week to get the results we want. More important than abdominal exercises is having a good diet and a good cardio exercise routine. If your six pack abs is hidden behind a layer of fat it does not help how strong and fit they are. Exercise your entire body on a regular basis and implement as much healthy and protein rich food in your diet as possible to get the results you want.
