    Default What is your Ab training regimen?

    Been making core training a must every trip to the gym. Also made a effort to focus more on efficient and intense exercises. So far, it's been:

    Russian twists w/25 lbs plate
    Bicycle maneuver
    Captain's chair
    Weighed cable crunches

    Any tips on other intense ab exercises that can be added?

    Decline oblique crunches while hugging a 25lb or 35lb plate. Hanging leg raises are great too. Otherwise I like your list.

    I dont train abs directly, but they get plenty of work from doing squats, deads, cleans, and (especially) good mornings.

    You don't earn abs in the gym you earn it in the kitchen. Proper dieting.

    I've given up I still have a 4pack but the days of 6pack are done. I drink too much soda, and all I really do is ball and crunches a few times a week. Thankfully my metabolism is still there. I am no help to you, I'm leaving this thread now

    I do abs every day, nothing too crazy though. Basic situps with different variations on the bench. Legs raises on the pull up bar. And my favorite ab workout is the side plank with different variations.

    As long as you consistently eat properly and implement a cutting phase into your workout (cardio), you should get great results.

    15 minute jog on treadmill or 30 min walk on treadmill (can use other cardio equipment, it doesn't matter)
    ab roller
    planks
    hanging leg raises (target both lower abs & obliques)
    - normal leg raises & leg raises to the side
    weighted decline crunches

    Do this 1-2 times a week, in 1-2 months you'll get your six pack.
    Watch the diet though; no sugars, lean meat, hydrate your body, eat protein after workout etc.

    I do some crunches, leg lifts, and bicycle kicks between other sets. Other than that I don't focus on them and my core feels strong enough. So a few sets total just twice a week.
