Thread: Should I do P90X Abs Ripper X or just normal adbs exercise?

I would say ab ripper x, simple because it will give you structure. I mean it uses the main exercises anyways. Your actually weight lifting routine such as: squats, deads, rows, etc are probably going to benefit your abs more anyways.

Do some overhead walks, if you want a strong core that is going to do it. Clean a barbell, press it overhead, then lockout your elbows and walk with it or just hold it for about a minute. Do five sets of this at the end of a workout. Keep your core and glutes tight all the way through.

Are you drunk?

I've done p90x twice through (missing only 3 workouts total). I'm currently on my second run through of insanity, but about to drop it to hit the weights again. The ripper x is a good basic workout. After the first 90 days you may want to add ankle weights though... just be careful to try and keep it out of your lower back.

90x isn't a body building program, but if you diet good and work that hard it will help you get in better general shape. i never put on big mass, but then again I was doing way too many reps, not resting nearly enough, and not handling heavy enough weight.

Do both twice a day and you should see good results.

1. Take the p90x dvd and place it on your table
2. Place Ice-cold dark German beer on top of dvd
3. Realize you're not a model paid to advertise
4. Go do heavy-ish squats and deadlifts
5. Make your mind up if you want to "Rip" or "build abs"
6. Realize proper dietary intake is 50% of your goals.

That's funny shit.

The bag also:

Is labeled Mr Pandy.
Contains a picture of the man his girlfriend wants him to be.
And a phone, just in case she calls.

Any kind of "weighted" ab exercise will accomplish what your looking for, variation is key.

What are abs?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Merkaba again.

Booyah!

I spent so much time in HS and early college with weird exercises and heavy volume for abs thinking i would get chiseled abs. I finely woke up and realized heavy squts and deads will build all you will ever need. When you are ready to see them, cut. End thread/
