Thick abs

[ironbarbarian]

for thos of you with thick abs, do you preform your reps quickly or slowly exhaling out as hard as you can at the end really feeling the burn. I always do the latter and i feel a tremendous burn, i cant understand why i see ppl in the gym preforming 100 sit ups in like 2 mins, if you cant get that burn its a waste of time.

peace

Totally agree, I take my time for each rep.

Quality over quantity

Agree with all, less is more especially when it comes to abs, use weights and hold.

Damn nice pic tripleV. . .gotta love a nice butt shot!

Thanks babe

Anytime!

moosecles, I do the reps really slow, with a slow 5 count before coming back up, when done this way you can build great abs without those 1000 rep workouts.

Yep, heavy weighted decline sit-ups. Worked up to the 110 DB in these... they're awesome, and besides the slight growth you'll see in your abs, they'll make you tremendously strong in many compound lifts.

Also, hanging leg raises off the chin up bar. Gymnast style, hips forward and up.

Quick question..

You breath in, in your way up or down?

Too be honest, I don't know, never paid much attention to it.

i would imagine on the exertion, either holding breath or slowly exhaling.

Just a note to any beginner out there who may be reading this thread. Weighted incline sit ups are advanced and if you do not have developed abs you put yourself at a serious risk of getting an umbilical hernia. Exhale on the contraction.

Not to metion they will put wear on your lower back, make sure you your doing some back extensions or something before jumping on the incline with a 45.
