Flabby Abs Help Me Out!!!!

[1_more_rep]

i have been doing for 1 straight month 5 sets of 5 (3x/week) of sit ups on a declined bench paushing when my back is parallel to the floor for 5 SLOW seconds then going down and up to complete 1 sit up...

and it BURNS so good like it is working very well...and i see a TINY bit of improvement...but i've also been dieting a little bit better the past month so it could have JUST been the diet

i need an amazing ab routine i don't care how much it hurts or how much time it takes i want my 6 pack and i want it asap

or are abs not really about the workout and all about the diet?

cardio. you've got to make the muscle underneath visible........

abs are made in the kitchen.

cardio isnt even necessary.

its all about taking in less calories than you burn.

honestly, you don't even have to train your abs.

i've tried cardio...i did cardio post-lifting 3x/week for 2 weeks with light dieting and didn't notice much improvement at all...i know you're probably thinking "WELL MAN IT TAKES TIME" but i'm really busy ive got a job/go to school/have chores at home to take care of and so i barely have time to go 3x/week and lift let alone do some cardio - i can fit in some more post workout cardio probably but ive read that that's not the best for you after lifting - should i made my diet more strict? right now i only have 1 actually healthy meal a day (egg whites with 1 slice whole grain bread/2 lean slices steak/chicken breast/etc.)

the other meals i am forced to eat with my family what they are eating which is usually fattening and not good for me at all

i suppose if you went extreme with your diet you could have much better results. gotta remember sodium will make you retain water, and it's in everything. since you have no time right now, maybe put it off until you do. or buy your own food.

take care of your priorities. money is more important than abs. but you can still have both...

BUMP! any other ideas on how to get those defined abs?! whats more important a strict ab workout? or the cardio?! or the diet?!

You can make yours abs as strong as you like with any number of routines, but if they're still covered in fat, you're still not going to see them.

It's already been said - you need to lose some bodyfat by eating less calories than you burn. Either eat less, or do cardio to burn more, or preferably do both. Weight yourself once a week at the same time. Try to drop something like 2lb per week.

ok i can do this. But won't muscle be lost when i lose weight? i was hoping on staying the same thick-wise and trying to just get extra muscle in the area so it shows through even though i'm not really skinny. but i guess i should just strap on my ear muffs and blindfold n jump on that elliptical machine everytime i go to the gym for a while.
