Do you do abs :

During squats :wg:
After Cardio for me!
i sometimes do them before my workout, for like 5-10 minutes. After an intense workout the last thing i want to do is abs!
before workout, most of the time use them as a worm up and train abs heavy once a week
how bout before cardio. get a little glycogen and blood sugar burnt before hand. i at least do that if it's not first thing in the morning.
But you don't have the benefits of PWO then...Quote:

How serious of a ab routine are you referring too? When doing my 3x/week I was doing 2x25 side crunches and 2x50 swiss ball crunches. I need a good ab routine.Quote:

I do abs everyday, but I split them up by group (major and obliques). ie. monday: major, tuesday: obliques, major: wednesday, etc... I only lift 4-5 days/week though. I find better results with this method, but everyone is different.
