    Abs Routine

    I am doing a super-set routine 3 days a week. I want to start fitting abs into this routine... does anyone have any suggestions of what I can throw in?

    Routine consists of:

    Chest/Back
    Arms/Shoulders
    Legs

    On 3 consecutive days...(not a lot of free time on weekends and fridays)

    Also, I've been wanting to build up my shoulders and hips a bit because they're lacking muscle/meat

    I would personally do abs on the chest/back day. I would put shoulders on the Arms/Shoulders day and I would hit the hips on the legs day.

    I'm not sure if you're asking for specif exercises though.

    If there are any specific exercises that would help out with the muslce growth... my shoulder bones stick out a bit... maybe something to help with the ligaments?

    Well, here is my routine:

    (Reps of 5-6)
    (Last Rep on most exercises done till failure)

    Day 1-

    Decline Bench - 5 sets
    Bentover Rowing - 5 sets
    Incline Fly - 5 sets
    Lat Pull Down - 5 sets
    Dead Lift - 3 sets

    Day 2 -

    DB Press - 5 sets
    Upright Row BB - 5 sets
    BB Curl - 5 sets
    CloseGrip Bench - 5 sets
    Incline DB - 5 sets
    Dips - 5 sets

    Day 3 -

    Leg Press - 5 sets
    Squats - 5 sets
    Leg Ext - 3 sets
    Leg Curl - 3 sets
    Calf Raise - 5 sets

    I vary it a bit here and there, but that's basically it. Im trying to build up weight mainly... but I've been basing my workouts around this for about 8 months now.

    If you want meat on your shoulders, you nedd to stick with the basics.

    Military press (always to the front)
    Lateral raises
    Front raises
    Reverse bent-over flyes
    Upright rows

    If you haven't done these before, you may not be able to move much weight. Thats ok. Don't risk a shoulder injury by trying to do more than you can. Always do a couple of warm-up sets first. You don't want a bum sholder. Start with the compound movements and finish with the isolations. If you are short on time, I sometimes will superset the 3 raises for three sets. Its a great way to fry those delts.
