Good Enough For Abs?

on mondays/wensdays/fridays

I do 4 sets of weighted decline sit ups. Usually between 10-15 reps, which basically is failure at that point. And it hits my abs pretty good. Just wanted to get other view points on this? do more? do less?

Thanks guys.

Everyones abs are different..

Are you feeling anything/ noticeing any changes?

If not then change things up

make sure you give them plenty of time to rest and grow. if it torches them, that may be good enough. hell i know i did weighted crinches once a week because mine took a beating from deads and other stabilizing exercises.

people often forget abs are a muscle as well - I actually only do light abs, every 3 days or so

although they are muscles, so are your quads and hammys. i dont stop walking for 3 days after leg day. your abs get worked indirectly every time you are in the gym. that being said i only do ab specific exercises 3-4 times a week. truth is you can do abs till your blue in the face, unless your bf% is 10% or lower you wont see them. we all have abs.

i know, just making a point that they do get worked ED anyways. when your doing deads, squats, bench, etc your abs are working. even just standing is technically using the muscle.

Stick to abs on mon/wed/fri

If the workout you are doing is giving you results stick with it - if it ain't broke dont fix it IMO.

However i don't see that workout being complete enough. I pick 3 ab exercises (1 for upper abs, 1 for lower abs and 1 for obliques/intercoastals) per workout and do 2-3 sets to failure for each (around 50 reps).

Hey for the record people - great abs are only really achieable if your diet is in check
