When questioned on their priorities in the gym, most men would consider something which could teach them how to get abs to be as valuable as any resource. Such is the pressure on men to have a lean, muscular midsection, it is not rare to see guys stressing over their stomach.
Too much confusion exists due to misinformation and outdated practices being taught by trainers who should know better. This leads to many false beliefs, including:
* Doing 2000 crunches per day is effective.
* Being small muscles, you need to hit your midsection every single day.
* Using weights with your abs will make them bulky and unattractive.
These three beliefs alone will restrict you to some of the most tedious, boring workouts you could imagine. Performing crunch-after-crunch is not the most effective method to building a leaner, stronger midsection and the first shred of proof to that fact can be seen in the evidence that those who follow the three myths above generally don't get any results at all.
Simply put, the false beliefs above are outdated and ineffective.
To cause a muscle to grow or develop, you must train it in a way that stimulates the reaction you are aiming for. It won't do it by request. You wouldn't do 5000 reps on a biceps curl, so don't do it for your stomach. You probably have an arm routine which targets triceps, biceps and forearms effectively. You might even split it even further, targeting the long head and short heed of the biceps effectively. But do you do that for abs, or is it just endless crunches?
Try the routine below for starters:
1. 20 x Abdominal Crunches with a Swiss Ball
2. 20 x Leg Raises with a Swiss Ball
3. 20 x Straight-Leg Crunch
Perform the routine in a circuit, pushing out all reps before resting for 2 minutes and doing the circuit again. Four rounds of this three-step circuit is all you need to get on the right track to building a solid six pack.
Why does this work?
Two reasons. First of all, it doesn't just focus on crunches. Have you ever known somebody who has developed the two muscles at the top of the six pack, but very little else? That's because crunches only hit that area. To target the lower region of the stomach you must add exercises like the reverse crunch into the mix.
It also ensures you keep the intensity high, which will result in more fat loss. Providing you are following a solid diet, you will notice these effects quite quickly.
Like any muscle, of course, the key to a solid and progressive workout program that continues to yield positive results for you is variety. Without variety, you will adapt to even the hardest challenge over time and it will be hard to generate further results. Your body isn't going to change if it doesn't need to, you must force it.
The secret to discovering how to get abs quickly is not complex. It merely requires effort and specificity with your torso routine in the gym. If you can get those two things in check, then you are ready to see some results.
