Answer by David
i was told abs can be worked every day because the blood supply was very good for abs. i would work legs one day, and upper body on alternate days.

Working on muscle tone: Chest/Arms/Abs, Should I always give rest days for a simple workout?

Ripped Abs — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:02:04 +0000

Question by Alorad: Working on muscle tone: Chest/Arms/Abs, Should I always give rest days for a simple workout?
So staring out I’m only doing 3 sets of pushups, as many as I can do with 60seconds rest in between sets, and 2 sets of crunches, as many as I can do 60seconds rest between per night, as i want to tone my arms and torso for now.

For best results should I continue this every day, or like every other day?

Any other tips to getting a decently-ripped tone would be appreciated.

[Fyi i'm 5'8'' and only wiegh about 125 pounds, so no fat needed to lose and I already have some abs kind of peaking through. I feel I have a good bodytype for this.]
Oh and this isnt the only exercise im going to do, this is just my scheduel plan, I may mix it up on days such as lift some weights, wear out the punching bag, etc.

I just want input on this plan as far as fastest/best results
*Well when I mentioned adding additional mix-it-up exercises i wasn’t talking on an extreme level, was moreso just a littlebit here and there, and i would realize pushing myself to the limit would require some recovery time, but speaking in terms of just the pushups/crunches im wondering if rest-days are necessary.

*Thanks for the dumbbell tip, and yeah ill up the reps as I get stronger.

It’s really impossible to give you any advice if you don’t tell us the whole plan or what other exercises you are doing. If you were only doing push-ups and crunches, you could do them pretty much every day with no problem – we did this in Basic Training, and lots of people got great results.

However, once you start adding other exercises, especially with weights (as opposed to weigh-bearing exercises), then you really need to give your muscles a day or two to rest between each workout, depending on the amount lifted and the intensity.

To get ripped, you have to lift heavy with low reps (just doing lots of reps with low weight isn’t going to get you anywhere – I see women make this mistake all the time with their 3-pound dumbells – really, what’s the point?). Lifting heavy means at least one to two days between workouts on any particular muscle group, as well as low cardio. You might want to check out Muscle and Fitness magazine. I like their plans a lot and use them even more than the Women’s Oxygen fitness mag (also produced by Robert Kennedy).

In order to get a “decently-ripped tone,” you are going to have to do more than just “mix it up a little here and there.” At 5′ 8″ you could easily add 20-30 pounds of muscle, although 10 pounds would probably be a great goal for you. Hey, you asked for advice.

Get a 6-inch pocket-knife and grab your abs and start slicing. They’ll be ripped, in pieces.

Ripped Abs — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:03:11 +0000

Question by wy: Why don’t my abs look as muscular as they should?
I am male 5.10 18 years old and weigh 145. My BMI is 6.5 percent and a waist size of 28. I measured my fat percentage by doing fat caliper measurements so it is accurate. I workout a lot, I run constantly and workout each muscle group 3 times a week. I rock climb a lot too, I work out my abs almost everyday. My core and abs are very strong but they don’t show as ripped one of my friends has really ripped abs but mine are way stronger it doesn’t make Nacha Software sense if I’m stronger and just as skinny I would think my abs should show more. My abs look ripped in certain light, what can I do to make my abs show more?

what exercises should i do? and how many times a week should i do them?

also, what exercises should i do to tone my thighs? and how many times a week?

Best answer:

Answer by anon.
For your abs, you Ach Fees first need to lose any fat covering them by doing half an hour of cardio a day (jogging/cycling/swimming)

Then to get abs you have to do crunches, reverse crunches, bicycle crunches etc

and do squats and lunges to tone your thighs

what should i expect to come of my abs after this “awesome abs” class?

Ripped Abs — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 19:01:06 +0000

Question by joedawg3657: what should i expect to come of my abs after this “awesome abs” class?
i am taking an awesome abs course at my university which meets 3 days a week for 50 minutes. Our workouts are tiresome and cause me to sweat, but as far as muscle fatigue goes, my abs aren’t completely being ripped Ach apart. With this type of workout should i expect a good looking core by the end of this 4 month semester? I am not overweight by any means but my ab definition isn’t the greatest, just barely visible when standing straight up. I’m hoping to get ripped abs. Any advice? tips?

Best answer:

Answer by Escher
It’s pretty hard to predict these things without having the full details of the course, your diet, and body fat percentage. If you’ve got 10%+ body fat you are going to struggle to have finely defined abs, regardless of the course you are on.
