    ill be the first to admit that i could definitely NOT do that many reps (or sets) right now. shoot i thought i was doing good at 20 hanging leg lifts (pike) for 3 sets.. (i actually cant even do 20 for the 3rd set).. i do em slow though.. and hold at the top.

    gonna give ur routine a go. and i have MI's ab routine bookmarked as well! i had to google wood chops (or whatever its called) and i like em and am gonna do them! the thing about abs is with my schedule i work out every single day either lifting or cardio and i do it at lunch and dont really have time to get abs in with that many sets and still do either my cardio or my lifting.. im gonna have to MAKE time now cuz spring will be here in a couple months and im about to hit the cut hard! abs will be included!

    I had the EXACT same stomach as you do. You need to work on your inner ab muscles and obliques a lot more than your outer abs. The inner ab muscles will "suck in" your stomach and force your outer ab muscles to appear a lot faster. Don't use weights either.. for any of it. You won't get definition with weights. Some people do- most don't. Judging by your avi pic- you may not even need to work outer abs much at all. Inner abs are gonna pop those suckers out.

    With the routine I sent you- make sure you keep your core tight and straight. I wouldn't worry about how many reps you do. Worry more about not swinging and using your other muscles to cheat even if you can only do a few reps. You definitely want to do all the sets though because you'll hit your abs from all kinds of angles and that's gonna force some quick growth. I'd start out with 5 perfect reps of every exercise. Those side angle hanging leg raises are gonna hurt after only 2-3 reps anyways but those will tear up your inner ab muscles something awful and you're gonna be sore as hell after those.

    Dan I have to say 100reps of anything is beast... I can't remember the last time I did 6. I want to start a ab workout for my prefontest. You have anything a little less crazy. I don't usually train abs bc they get huge and just make me look fatter... Is fatter a word??? Whatever you get the point

    Same routine- less reps. I do 100 bc for 2 years I've been doing it. I started with 3 reps, then 5, etc. Focus on form and concentrate on core while making sure you're not swinging in the hanging exercises. Doing 100 shit reps that are 90% cheating and 10% focused is garbage. Focus on keeping the strain on your abs and isolation- the rest will come with time. Don't train abs with weights- you'll end up looking bloated.
