Overworking your abs is a bad idea. Actually, overworking any body part is a bad idea and you will actually see less progress.

i call bullshit on the overtraining of abs. abs and calves get worked everyday. the only time abs and your core doesnt get work is when youre sleeping. boxers train their abs every single day, i dont see a difference in the abs from boxing and the abs in bodybuilding, except the fact that a boxers abs can take a beating, they stick with high reps while bodybuilders add weights and go low reps. i work my abs 6 days a week, 3 days with resisitance, 3 days just bodyweight.

I've always thought you couldn't overtrain abs? I generally work them each time I lift but I only lift 3 days a week so it's not that much.

I guess that's true, i've always been told to only do abs a couple times a week.

I guess it could also be said that since you do work your abs with almost everything you do, theres not really a need to do abs every day.

definitely not necessary to do abs everyday. i know a guy who works his abs 15-20 minutes once a week with 3-4 exercise and 4 sets each. and he competes. boxers do it everyday for the endurance so it can take all those hits. im jus a little obssessive when it comes to abs, i do it once a week in the off season but when i diet or cut, i do it more. i think 3 times a week is perfect or every other day.
