Building strong Abs

Tips for Building Abs

  • Focus on the diet.

    Your diet is the main factor in how your abs will look. My famous saying goes, "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym!"

  • Minimize rest time in between sets.

    Try to only take 1 minute of rest [or less] time in between abdominal exercises. The goal is to keep rest to 30 - 40 seconds in between sets. Keep those abdominals burning!

  • Perform cardio activity before your workout.

    When the body is warmed up as a result of cardiovascular activity, you're able to get a better contraction on your abs when you work them. The warm up enables you to better feel the deep muscular burning sensation when your abs are trained.

  • Train your abs on an empty stomach.

    This allows you to burn body fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates.

  • Contract and flex your abs in between sets.

    This technique helps to build abdominal definition. Bodybuilders have been know to stretch and flex in between sets to increase muscle definition. It works!
