Best Lower Abdomen workout?

**Joshua7** · 12-16-2008, 09:01 PM

I am trying to gain muscles on my lower abdomen but I don't know the best way of doing so. I only do one excercise for my lower abdomen which is the plank where im in a push up position with my elbows directly vertical from my shoulders touching the floor. I hold this position for about a minute or more but I don't feel the burn intensely. I would like to know the best possible way to gain lower ab muscles.

Diet management. No exercise can make you grow new muscles, you will make them bigger through general abdominal training.

If you cant SEE them you need to lower your body fat. Thats generally the last place it comes off.

while your stomach is made up of several muscle groups, rectus/transversus abdominus, and internal/external obliques. the one you can see is rectus abdominus.. and since its one muscle, you cant make any part of it grow more than another. so you cant 'gain lower ab muscles'.

This is old news...

However, can you make the transversus larger? Its just another muscle right? And if its underneath everything else, working as the body's own weight belt, if it increased in size through muscular development, could it push the other muscles towards the surface?

I dont imagine it would push through the layer of fat, but perhaps it could make a person's core or ab area appear larger, even if its cut.
