Training abs every day

[Eugene]

I go to gym 4 times each week. Is it recommended, or beneficial that except the usual training, I would train my abs every day, or will it be

overtraining, and won't accomplish any additional results?

 

[Arnold]

no you should not train abs daily, I train them twice per week.

I do em once a week, doing the following:

1. Weighted cruches using the pulley machine
2. Weighted situps on a decline bench and a plate on my chest.
Nothing more.

Well, it depends on how ur body reacts to training, but the abs are the most resilient muscle and can actually benefit from more training than any other body part....Im not saying they should be trained every day, but I do train mine 4 times/week and have had very good results...

IMO. you can train abs more frequently if you don't use weighted exercises. I only train abs when I'm dieting down and then maybe 2-3x a week.

Twice a week

 

[j rizz]

is there such a thing as doing too much volume while working out the abs..

 

[Rissole]

I reckon abs react the same as any other muscle so yes you could do too much volume

 

[j rizz]

what would the limit entail.. 4 excersises of 15 reps?
what are your ab workouts and rep ranges

 

[Rissole]

I do one week of wieghted stuff, 3 sets under 12 reps crunches, 3 sets heavy leg lift, 2 sets w8'd hovers
then one week of straight crunches 3 sets under 20 reps 3 sets leg lifts 2 sets of varying types hovers
then one week suppersetting side bends crunches leg lifts and hovers all together 4 sets of that
Then back to w8'd stuff

I do weighted exercises twice per week. As well, I sometimes do bodyweight callishtenics on my non-lifting days where I will do some situps, crunches, or something else.
