Here's my approach to achieving
great abs.....
To begin with if you have a low body
fat count (between 10-15%) then
your abs will show, generally I burn
out my abs at the end of my weights
workout, with full sit ups as I feel this
hits my entire abdominal area, my
abs get a good workout throughout
my upper body workout as its always
balancing my body (fixator muscle) 4
day exercise, chest & triceps, back &
biceps, legs and shoulders, cardio
workout - 20 min run, 20 min row, I only train abs on weight
training days.
Diet wise, I try to eat a high protein diet with
quality complex carbs, A typical day would be a tin of
sardines on toast (Approx 30g protein/20g carbs) and
then an egg or tuna sandwich mid morning (30g
protein/20g carbs), basically lots of meat and fish with
baked beans rice, potatoes. I'll also add protein shakes
to the mix to help me maintain my protein requirements.
I'll try not to eat to many simple carbs, as they not
only keep on the body fat, but tend to make you feel
tired after the initial blood sugar increase. Due to my
profession as a firefighter I need all the energy I can
so slow glycemic carbs are the way to go (fruits,
wholewheats, vegetables, salads, potatoes). Being a
firefighter it is difficult to eat and train
consistently, so my training days are not day after day,
there could be 1 to 4 days break between exercise, i
think this inconsistency with training aids my results
due to my body being shocked all the time.
Here is an idea of the typical exercises I'll use with
my abdominal workouts: Crunches, sit ups, trunk
crunches, vertical leg raises and crunches with leg
raises.
I hope an insight into my routine will offer some help
with your program.
Good Luck
Adam
