What are some good abdominal exercises? I'm tired of the crunches, planks, and v-ups that I do, they're starting to bore me so I don't do them as much anymore.

zooopreme · 01-04-2011, 06:52 PM

Phillip lol try this if you have a pull up bar, hang from it and just lift your knees to your chest and so that the routine doesn't get boring, do a pull up after and just repeat until you're done.

kaking · 01-07-2011, 11:33 PM

Crunches with the rope on cable machine. Can be done in between sets of tri pull downs ect...

HyperTek · 01-08-2011, 01:11 AM

I been doing these
Weighted Lying Leg-Hip Raise
fairly easy with no weight, i havent tried weight yet , may try that next time.

Well the reality guys is that you do need to push your self. A good week of maxing out your abilities once a month and noting it down is essential to your developement. I was simply commenting on the typical noob comments always asking your flat bench number. Its like how asking car guys how much power they make while never taking into consideration of just how good of a driver they are. You need to push your limits in order to trigger the growth. Its the only real way to creat new tears i. The muscle which stimulate growth.

Abs: again..... 9/10 people should not be training abs. Also never use more than your own body weight. Same concept here folks... U like the pumped look your arms get after a good lift day? How would you like your abs to be all pumped and bloated. You will develop muscle there by training it pure and simple. The key to abs is having a SMALL waste there fore giving your body a symetrical look. So work on bodyweight and fat content. Abs are a genetic gift from your parents. Not from ab machines and cables.

But to keep em toned I prefer bycycle crunches and decline bench crunches and leg lifts. Along with a 1200 kcal diet makes em really pop for the summer pool parties. A probody builder from Russia told me "why do you americans obsses over bodyfat%?" "All that matters is how you look in the mirror" "eat less for more abs, lift harder for better physique.... Pretty simple...." this guy is a sponsored olyimpian contestant and a 3 time national ifbb champion. He has never had a body fat check done... He never does cardio and he never trains abs. And my guess is he around 6'1" and 225lbs and no more than 7-8% off season and way lower during show season.

1200 Cal is extremely low for any man who doesn't lay in bed 24 hours. Cardio should always be implimented in cutting. It's not so much the actual calories spent while running, but its the effect afterwards- more calories being burnt through out the day from having a higher metabolism.

After seriously training for the past 10 years that is what works for me. Hell for shows I sodium and carb depelete for 3 weeks precontest and cruise around 1000 calories a day. Looking good and being healthy are completely different ideas my friend. And the theory of cardio causes faster metabilism is just that. It also creates a catabolic enviroment in which you burn more muscle than fat for energy and no amount of protrein or steroids will save you from muscke waste.

That being said... I personally enjoy running. I ran track and fielf in highschool and college. But do i want to look like lance armsrong LoL? Fawk no... So I keep my cardio to outdoor jogs and hikes. I still run a 630mile with no issues outdoors and not on some pussy ass treadmill.

I saw a very interesting study done with rats. As the have very similar physiology to humans. There were two groups of rats, one group they simply feed twice as much food as the alternate group. The group that was feed less lived twice as long.

Many people cant understand the fact that we might consume way to much food, even if it goes against what we have been taught. And of course every individual is different and should diet accordingly.

Dont waste your money...

Give me an example of your weekly diet regimen.

Sunday-
meal 1
Meal 2
Meal 3
Meal 4
Meal 5

Monday-
Ect...

For 7 days... Let me critique your diet. I bet your problem lies there. If you dont have a real meal plan you will not get results plain and simple.

DIET IS THE KEY to all results!

Wongger · 01-08-2011, 09:15 PM

This thread has taught me so much. I guess I never really realized how much I eat. I have cut way back in the last 2 weeks. Started eating around 3000cal, now I eat 1500 cal (give or take). I thought I would be starving, but I space my meals out alot better. Haven't seen alot of results, started weighing 220-225, now im around a constant 218. I do feel alot healthier though

I agree with most of this post, but theres no way I'd keep my lean mass on 1200kcals!

I may as well chuck my before and afters in here from a couple few back:

This was before I took my diet seriously:

And after a few months:

When I was cutting just before last summer, what worked best for me was to keep my calorie intake as usual, but limiting my carbs (mostly complex) to the first half of the day (and simple carbs around training). I lifted as heavy as possible several times a week, and avoided cardio (more because I hate it than anything). I dropped quite a bit of bodyfat in a reasonably short space of time. It was my most succesful cut to date (147lbs, 5'8").

I've been pretty much eating what I want and using the 'dirty bulk' excuse since that point, so my bodyfat has increased quite a bit, but so has my strength. I started a new cut at the beginning of the year, so hopefully it'll go as well as last time.

SuicidnS13 · 01-09-2011, 07:00 AM

Mass? At 148 you could keep it and then some. Carbs will put on fat but induce strength. You have some definately good results due to diet. You definately need to trim your sodium intake as you seem bloated in the after pix. Sure skinny but soft. Cut out thr salt and carbs for about 8-12 weeks and watch the veins pop out. Sodium depletion is what gets me from 8/9% down to 4-6% for a show or pool party. Plus a couple extra compounds in my supplements LOL (eq for vascularity hands down)

Quail · 01-09-2011, 07:09 AM

I get pretty good vascularity at the gym. Body fat across my body was pretty low, but I always struggle with the stomach (like most people). You think its down to sodium?

When I was eating before summer, I was eating <150g carbs per day, usually less than 100g. I got pretty good ab definition (for me) before my holiday, although I have no pics.

I know I seem lighter than I should be, but I push similar weights to friends who are much heavier than I am, considering my goal isn't to get as large as possible. I'd like to see 168lbs at 10% BF this year, although its asking a hell of a lot.

My training partner has a good 2 stone on me, although I manage to keep up on most days (other than back).

SuicidnS13 · 01-09-2011, 08:52 AM

Yup sodium is your biggest issue. Keep it below 800mG per day for a while and you will see a huge diference in about 4 weeks.

Just remember a burger has about 1000mG alone LOL. Chicken breast is not so bad, salmon and other sea foods. Avoid canned tuna, red meat, and anything with a broth lol. Use olive oils and other oil based dressings for flavor. Use MS.Dash for seasoning.

Your abs are the last place to lean out. Its the 1st place fat stores are deposited. Vascularity should be at all times. My veins pop while im at rest. Abs show up around 10-11% for most males. Once you have a little more lean mass they will pop around 12-13%. Sodium makes you retain water which also keeps your fat cells larger. Shrink your water content and everything else shrinks. Muscles too... But id rather have veins on my abs then 18" - 20" arms.

Also it gets easier with age. Somewhere in your late 20's early 30's is where men peak development. As i approach 30 I see a huge difference. I bounce back into shape much faster as well as put on size much easier.

Me, personally I train for a symetrical look. I could easily go on growth and insulin and become an animal but at my peak of 201lbs and 6% at 5'7" just wasnt working out for me. (12 month long ans heavy cycle of more than a few compounds) These days I enjoy cruising around 170-180 and 10% as its easy to maintain and I dont look like a meathead.

So true, I love weighing a couple pounds more and just being comfortable. I still look big but I am less stressed about everything having to be so tough between diet, working out etc., now I enjoy it again. And to the one guy, vascularity is genetic as well so different people are affected by the pump differently. Also you don't need to lean out your water supply to show abs. Remember the more you work them with weight the tighter they can get. The muscle fibers in the abs will react differently than those of the rest of the body.

Just saw the pics of your partner... He is scrawny in the BB world. Join bodybuilding.com and look at the bodyspace section. 168 @ 10% is cake...

2500-3500 cal diet with 3-500 mg protien per day
Cardio for 45 minutes a day x 5 days
Lift heavy 4 days
Test / EQ for 12-16 weeks equals done deal

Or perfect diet for 6-9 months

either way very attainable with consistency in diet and training. That is the key here.

Good thing we don't try to live in the BB world then! You misunderstand, neither I or my friend are trying to be bodybuilders, or get anywhere near the size of most of the guys on BB forums. Shows etc aren't my goals. Anything over 13 stone on my frame just isn't the look I'm going for. Just a nice lean 12 is perfect for me, nothing too extreme (bodyfat wise, or size wise). 9% is as low as I'd want to go.

HyperTek · 01-17-2011, 12:35 AM

Bulking, How is this done specifically without turning into gut fat? Just intake more caleries while continuing typical workout schedule?

I havent rode my bike in a month so no cardio.

SuicidnS13 · 01-17-2011, 10:34 AM

Bucking means to add on mass. To keep fat low you must diet accordingly. Add 30% cals to your Khmer amount. Then lift like a Damn Olympian for 12 weeks adding 10% cals and protein every 3 weeks. If your seeing fat start to add keep your calories there and add cardiovascular or go back to your prior calorie count.1-1.5 gallons of water per day is mandatory for growth as well as 7-8 hours of sleep for recovery. Remember you grown in your sleep, not at the gym.

WISH ONE · 01-28-2011, 09:38 AM

Im very angry, I cant get my right bicep to catch up with my left.
the left one has much more aggressive peak.
Is this normal? are everyones biceps different from left to right?
This ish is all about symmetry my bi's are not.
my whole left side seems stronger the right and im right handed. wtf?
I need to jerk off more.

EDIT
answer:
Yes, this is almost always correctable. First of all, uneven development is natural; it’s actually more common to have one side more developed than it is to have both perfectly even. Having 100% even development (without intentionally training for balance) is about as common as being ambidextrous.

The best way to balance out uneven arm development is to use primarily dumbbells and unilateral (one arm at a time) movements.

Unilateral training can be done with dumbbells, one arm cable movements or unilateral machines like Hammer Strength iso-lateral equipment. You can even do unilateral training on most conventional machines by using one arm instead of two.

If you really want your bicep development to even out quickly, do a lot of dumbbell and unilateral training for your entire upper body, including chest, back, shoulders, triceps, biceps and even forearms.

caution: The most common reaction people have to unbalanced development is to do extra sets for the lagging side. This is NOT a good idea because you may end up overtraining the smaller side. This could have the opposite effect: the overworked arm could stop growing or even get smaller!

I vote you just jerk off more... less science involved with guaranteed positive outcome and results.

I now do enjoy sit ups.. I do them when i finish my work out. Once you start seeing results, you actually dont mind them. Before i hated them.

Now I typically do sit ups with my hands locked behind my head, do as many reps as I can, than when i get tired, i put my hands to my side and knock out a few more since the bodyweight is lighter when the hands are at the sides.

I tried inclined sit ups on my bench and was alot harder, im sure inverted would be even more difficult.

Would you guys say proper form and more reps from standard floor situps beats a more difficult/weight sit up with less reps?

Keep it below 800mG per day for a while and you will see a huge diference in about 4 weeks. Just remember a burger has about 1000mG alone LOL. Chicken breast is not so bad, salmon and other sea foods. Avoid canned tuna, red meat, and anything with a broth lol. Use olive oils and other oil based dressings for flavor. Use MS.Dash for seasoning. Your abs are the last place to lean out. Its the 1st place fat stores are deposited. Vascularity should be at all times. My veins pop while im at rest. Abs show up around 10-11% for most males. Once you have a little more lean mass they will pop around 12-13%. Sodium makes you retain water which also keeps your fat cells larger. Shrink your water content and everything else shrinks. Muscles too... But id rather have veins on my abs then 18" - 20" arms. Also it gets easier with age. Somewhere in your late 20's early 30's is where men peak development. As i approach 30 I see a huge difference. I bounce back into shape much faster as well as put on size much easier. __________________ BX\|Photo LS400 - Slammed \| Fitted \| Loud

To keep fat low you must diet accordingly. Add 30% cals to your Khmer amount. Then lift like a Damn Olympian for 12 weeks adding 10% cals and protein every 3 weeks. If your seeing fat start to add keep your calories there and add cardiovascular or go back to your prior calorie count.1-1.5 gallons of water per day is mandatory for growth as well as 7-8 hours of sleep for recovery. Remember you grown in your sleep, not at the gym. __________________ BX\|Photo LS400 - Slammed \| Fitted \| Loud

Is this normal? are everyones biceps different from left to right? This ish is all about symmetry my bi's are not. my whole left side seems stronger the right and im right handed. wtf? I need to jerk off more. EDIT answer: Yes, this is almost always correctable. First of all, uneven development is natural; it’s actually more common to have one side more developed than it is to have both perfectly even. Having 100% even development (without intentionally training for balance) is about as common as being ambidextrous. The best way to balance out uneven arm development is to use primarily dumbbells and unilateral (one arm at a time) movements. Unilateral training can be done with dumbbells, one arm cable movements or unilateral machines like Hammer Strength iso-lateral equipment. You can even do unilateral training on most conventional machines by using one arm instead of two. If you really want your bicep development to even out quickly, do a lot of dumbbell and unilateral training for your entire upper body, including chest, back, shoulders, triceps, biceps and even forearms. caution: The most common reaction people have to unbalanced development is to do extra sets for the lagging side. This is NOT a good idea because you may end up overtraining the smaller side. This could have the opposite effect: the overworked arm could stop growing or even get smaller! __________________ PARTING/SELLING MY COUPE. PM ME. Last edited by WISH ONE; 01-28-2011 at 09:49 AM..

Once you start seeing results, you actually dont mind them. Before i hated them. Now I typically do sit ups with my hands locked behind my head, do as many reps as I can, than when i get tired, i put my hands to my side and knock out a few more since the bodyweight is lighter when the hands are at the sides. I tried inclined sit ups on my bench and was alot harder, im sure inverted would be even more difficult. Would you guys say proper form and more reps from standard floor situps beats a more difficult/weight sit up with less reps? __________________ Keep it Classy
