Ab Workout
Here’s a typical ab workout from a friend of mine. I can understand why he has opted for this kind of workout since he’s probably one of those people who we refer to as hard gainers.
His ab workout is similar to this routine. Trains 3 alternate days of the week. Every exercise is done to its maximum intensity to failure. He did 5 exercises, doing one set each until he reached failure.
The exercises he performed are Ball Crunches, Side Bends, Leg Raises (Single & Double), Reverse Crunches and Waist Twists. He choose to train every other day for 3 days because he probably needed to recover his heavy intense ab workout.
After 2 or 3 weeks, he then switched to low intensity for one whole week before he goes back to his normal intense routine. Because of the intensity he always make sure that he sleeps and eats well.
He trains every other day for example – Mon, Wed and Fridays. He does light aerobics work on his rest days except Sunday when he performs no working out.
Since his workouts are very intense he only does them for a few weeks of the year. For the rest of the year he will do the same routine but at medium intensity. Sometimes when he’s busy with work, he finds that he maintains his abs sufficiently with only 2 maximum intensity workouts a week.
What is your ab workout like. Is it anything close to what he has above?
