    IMO, just do abs as you feel , every other day is fine, hell i start doing them one day a wk everything weighted and it is working great for me. it is a matter of what works for you and how much time you have, there isnt just one answer to this question, i wouldn't get crazed or follow a specific rep program, keep the reps high and volume as need for yourself and there you go

    I do them one day a week also. I just started doing them. I do not even think I need to. I dead and squat raw. I am not cut enough yet to see them. My bro cut and had an 8-pack never did any abs. I hope that gene is in me also.
