You are a well versed man with your opinions. Probably educated at home!Duncans Donuts said:Yeah, listen to this guy and you'll get nowhere in a big fuckkin hurry.

You are welcome.Duncans Donuts said:Thanks for the input, you mental defective dunderhead.
yeah man get a life, you made what would seem a fairly mature reply above this post, but then you go a put this. everyone is different and train different, i personnly would not recomend hitting a single muscle group every single workout day as when are you going to give your abs enough time to recover and grow.devildog88 said:"dunderhead"? Come on, surely you can search the archives of that great mind of yours for a better reply than that? I am somewhat disappointed in the "duncan donut"!

Maybe I should rephrase this. I think it is important to work your abs everyday that you workout. In my case that would be 5 days a week. If you are a three day person then three days. Now this doesn't have to be three different excercises at three sets each. In my case I do one set every day that I work out. I also vary the type of exercise that I do. Works for me but may not for you.
They and your calves can take the beating!!!
Um, please don't tell me you just insulted his intelligence and them implied that the same things would work for all people...Duncans Donuts said:Let me spell this out for you.
You are a fucking retard. I hate this mystic bullshit about "Works for me". Tell me why it works for you?
There is a reason, actually. I forgot what it is, but it may have something to do with slow twitch muscle fibers. In other words, it takes a lot more exercise to tire them out, just like your calves. They get used an awful lot, and can therefore take much more exercise than the typical muscle. Plus it depends on the intensity with which they're worked.Duncans Donuts said:Tell me why it's optimal? Tell me why anyone should do what you say? Don't just say something that contradicts common sense. GIVE A REASON. Because you didnt' give any reason why the abs can be trained everday while everything else can't.
Abs do indeed have a lot to do with core strength. They're involved in the two biggest powerlifting moves: squats and deadlifts. They're main stabilizers and get worked quite a bit when the exercises are done properly. Without strong abs, those two lifts won't be very big.Duncans Donuts said:Then you threw in something about core strength. You think you'll get strong working your abs every day? Wow, this is amazing, another newbie parading around telling people bullshit and setting the case of exercise science back a decade. Got any reasoning behind your nonsensical statement? Besides "CUZ IT WORKS FOR ME!". I bet it doesn't, actually. I bet your midsection is as atrophied as a nutsack stacked on 2 grams of deca and half a gram of oxymeth.
I'm not really sure what to say about this...Duncans Donuts said:Let me point out that all I did was criticize his position, initially, which I was polite about. I restrained myself. The firs thing that hit my mind, frankly, was that if you listen to this dumb fucker, you're even stupider than he is, which says a lot. This is how I know that nobody listened to him, because finding two people on this board as encompassed in sheer dimwitted buffoonery would completely shit on everything i know about statistical odds.

Wow, thanks for the update. Go reference what he said about core strength (if you don't do any core strength, train your abs 5 times a week) and tell me how what you said relates to that?Abs do indeed have a lot to do with core strength.

Funny, I was wondering the same about yours.I'm not really sure what to say about this...
