Thread: Legendary Abs Workout

yep. My first ab workout. I still do it when I want to kick start ab definition. It was the first routine that ever really gave me results. It will definitely harden your abs up if you do it right or expand on it. I know many aren't fans of direct ab work but I like the basics. With that being said I wouldn't tell anyone to do it unless I was doing some kind of AB boot camp or had someone that insisted I kick their ass with ab work. This routine with the stuff we did in college football had my abs the best they've ever been. Of course that was many moons ago. My nickname was Ab-man. At some point during this period of my life I bought the ab blaster(I think it was) too. The triangle thing with handles and resistance bands. I think in hindsight that thing really did some work on me too.

it will give you abs even if you are 25% bf

its WAAAY Old. It was basically a reverse type of crunch first, then oblique work, then some crunches. You'd do lower abs first then obliques then "upper" abs. It was a 7 minute routine(unless I'm thinking of something else) I think it was basically something like a set of reverse crunches, 30 45 seconds rest then another set with no rest afterwards straight into obliques. then rest, then another set and no rest straight into crunch type movements.

Is this it..

I saw this already but I wasn't sure it's it.thanks.

Here's another example....

For example, a typical giant set might be
10 hanging leg raises
5 hanging knee raises
(15 second rest)
5 hanging leg raises
5 hanging knee raises
30 lying 6" leg raises
(10 second rest)
25 lying 6" leg raises
35 bent-knee half sit-ups (i.e., 'ab cramps')
20 crunches


The Legendary Abs Program

Something like that. I think there was a Legendary Abs II ...too.....? : )

Yes.

The Legendary Abs routine that I remember was as follows:
Leg Lifts- Put hands under your butt and raise your feet from 6" to 12" from floor
Reverse Crunches- Put your hands to your sides and curl your knees to your chest
Regular Crunches- Be sure to raise your shoulder blades off of the floor
Feet up Crunches- Touch your elbows to your knees then lower your feet to the floor and repeat.

Do a giant set of all 4 exercises in that order and build up to doing 25 reps for each exercise. 2-3 sets will burn the abs pretty good!

I don't remember this maybe it was before my time.

Would this really work? I can do 139 sit ups in 2 minutes so I could realisticly do 2k sit ups a day. Wouldnt it be overtraining like a mofo?

I'ma try this next ab wo.
