How to build abs? See description?

[SteamBuns]

When building muscle we do like 4-8 reps each set right? Okay SO lets say we are on a abs crunching machine... Should i set the weight to something I can do 4-8 reps with or are abs different and we should do as much reps as possible?

As far as your actual workout you should be doing higher reps 20+
Your core muscles first and foremost are endurance based. If you're gonna use weights the 20-30 reps with perfect form is a good number to stick to. The moment you can do 30 reps and not be gassed, then it's time to bump the weight.

Second, if you want visible abs you need to do cardio Or clean up your diet. If you're on point with either you will get good results. But your best results will come by keeping your diet clean (for the most part) and doing cardio 2-3 times a week.

It does not matter how many reps you do at all, you can 1000 a day for a year and still not see IF and only IF, your diet is in tip top shape. A hard workout CAN NEVER EVER out run a bad idea, keep that in mind

Why didn't you just answer my question?

[ItsMe007]

What i am saying, reps dont matter, you have to eat right in order to burn fat and make sure you eat enough. You can't see your abs until you burn the body fat away, do ab work won't help you see them entirely

[SteamBuns]

OHh nooo I'm very low in body fat but I want to know how to build the abs tho

[ItsMe007]

Ah okay, with adding muscle is different cause you have to eat a lot of food. Basically a bulk session. But for abs, I am not too sure how to grow them actually, if I see them, I see them. I am muscular build anyway, if I drop boyfriend i could. I wouldn't go for that low of reps, I would shoot for a lot more than that

[SteamBuns]

thank you lol

[ItsMe007]

Wow wtf, this site on my phone is freaking terrible lol. Meant bodyfat

[SteamBuns]

Do higher reps for abs, like 15-25 reps per set, and also stay away a from the ab machines, and stick to the ground, decline bench, and captains chair

[SteamBuns]

But i'm already doing 50 reps on the decline i think it's time for the machine...

@asker Increase the level of the slant board or place a weight on your chest then build up to behind your head.

[LaBellaNena415]

Yes raise the Decline bench, and place a 25 pound plate on your chest, stay away from the ab machines! They're worthless

I'd set if to a weight you can do 10 reps with, abs are a little different.
