    How much wieght can you abs do?

    Ok.. when i do ab exercises i can do an awful lot of weight, like when i do cable crunches I can do the biggest stack i can find at my gym. Is this normal?

    How much weight can you guys do for, cable crunches, decline crunches, russian twists? Does this mean I had bad form or something?

    Bodyweight. Your exercise selection is mediocre at best tbh.

    what?! i posted a question about good ab workouts here a while ago and everyone told me to do weighted cable crunches, weighted decline crunches, and weighted russian twists?

    was I told false information? (my goal is to have a nice 6pack etc. once i cut)

    Try doing planks with hip abduction. I can do regular planks for over 2 min, planks with extended hips and arms for 2 min, but hip abduction cuts that shit in half!

    ok the faq didnt answer what I should be doing.

    I know i have to diet but i also know that i have to build up my ab muscles while im bulking. I was told that ending every work out with 1 ab strength movement and 1 stability movement was good.

    I do planks (side and regular) for about 2 min so i have that under control too. Which brings me to how do i do hip abduction while doing a plank. Do I extend my leg perpendicular to my body and leave it or keep abducting and adducting it?

    Thanks a tonne
