Anabolic Steroid Cycle
Author: Steve Holden
People who wish to cut fat and add muscles simultaneously and want to use legal and save drugs must consult a physician before using any anabolic steroid. The time period in which a person uses anabolic steroids is called anabolic steroid cycle. The steroid cycles can include also taking an anabolic steroid at the beginning of the cycle and finish with another steroid, to enhance the desired result.
Steroids, as synthetic versions of the testosterone, are stimulating the muscles growth. Users will look strong and big on the outside, forgetting the side effects, that may be creating weakness inside.
Steroid stacks have proven to be the most efficient way to build muscle than when the athlete uses one type. The use of more than one steroid in an anabolic steroid cycle is dramatically increasing the risk of side effects. This is the reason why the steroids users will stack non-anabolic drugs to minimize the harmful steroid side effects.
An anabolic steroid cycle is the period where a users intakes this type of drugs. A long anabolic steroid cycle will really affect the hypothalamus / pituitary / testicular axis to recover. HPT suppression will make necessary a permanent testosterone therapy. Many steroid abusers are stacking drugs, “cycling” or “pyramiding” is defining the practice of gradually increasing and gradually decreasing anabolic steroid doses over a period if time.
The cycle duration depend on the drug users. Some individuals are often against short cycles and long periods off; some are suggesting a year round use to have optimal results. In reality, it is really up to the individual to take the cycle that suits best for him. Beginners must watch the intake duration because the anabolic steroids are strong. Easily aromatized steroids should be used for only short intervals, less than eight weeks. After this period, it is necessary a break of at least as long as the previous period. The body needs time to recover and rest.
The users who are not respecting these indications must check often their health condition. The fact that anabolic steroids are not acting dramatically is making some users to establish the anabolic steroid cycle for a long time period. The best solution is to build the muscles tissues using traditional methods, such as training and appropriate diet.
Many athletes do not understand these prescriptions and find a cycle of three or four months most appropriate. The athlete must avoid the use of steroids an year after a cycle, in order to respect the natural hormonal balance. The body really needs a time to regain the natural hormonal balance. Individual must ensure that there are only very little possibilities of future side effects. If an individual believes that these effects are reversible, they are wrong. Problems with libido, virility, sterility can appear because the body was overloaded with male hormones for years. Anabolic steroid cycles are involving high blood pressure, liver toxicity, high cholesterol levels and athlete must limit the duration on anabolic steroid cycles if they are not avoiding it completely.

What are the causes of muscle growth? To make your muscles grow in size and strength, three things are required. Three main factors are required to promote muscle growth:
1. A stimulus to the muscles - Weight lifting is needed to make the muscles work, use up the energy from body and cause microscopic damage to the muscle fibers.
2. Proper nutrition - for having success with intense exercise program the muscles need to replenish their stocks of fuel.
3. Rest - muscles repair the microscopic damage and they do grow during the rest or recovery phase.
Here are the supplements I’d recommend for Muscle-building.
Creatine :
This is a never ending source for positive health and muscle-building benefits for your muscle growth . It is important to use plenty of liquid , water is still the best, that will make you even stronger and able to lift heavier and advance more and even recover faster. Good lean muscle gains are easy to achieve with this, and that will facilitate you to train more and go for better and better muscle growth stimulation.
Protein powders:
Whey isolate powder is the best food supplement you can take to help repair and growth of muscle tissue after an intense exercise program. Casein protein is to be taken just before going to sleep at night. It’s a slow digesting Protein and it is best to supply the body with a continuous flow of amino acids for repair the “damage” in the tissue and to stimulate the growth through the night while you sleep.
Muscles are gaining size and weight due to hypertrophic adaptation and an increase in the cross section area of individual muscle fibers. Intensive training impacts more on the strength influencing fast twitch type II fibers, therefore the increase in muscle size is resulting with greater strength of your muscles.
There are various other supplements like various amino acids, protein bars, growth hormone, and a huge selection of multi vitamins, all with varying ingredients focuses to help promote muscle growth. Growth Hormone is released by the pituitary gland and causes our growth, particularly during our teenage years when we hit puberty. In time, this hormone functions slows down, but if we take it in clever and scientific way as a supplement to our nutrition , we witness a significant increase in growth in muscles and sometimes in bone growth as well. This is a popular choice for muscle building supplements, since the results are very stunning and often surprise people with repeated use.
Protein bars are a safe and delicious way to help promote muscle growth. Many people love to eat them in order to help stave off hunger and provide the body with an extra boost of energy, without sugar or fat. Protein Bars are made by hundreds of different companies, so you should be able to find one you like with a few different tries.
How to increase muscle size?
You must really go heavy and work hard! As much you attack your muscles you’ll damage more fibers and force them to rebuild bigger and stronger. Off course it is clever to use good advices from real life athletes with experience and knowledge. You noticed already that it is not easy to separate quality from crap nowadays, especially for not experienced athletes.
Back to the theme , basic things to achieve muscle growth are :
1. Heavy weights.
2. Low repetitions (6-8).
3. Long rest periods (2-4 minutes).
The low reps affect muscle fibers in a unique way that causes maximum muscle growth. The heavier the weight, the more muscle fibers are used.
This type of training also stimulates our natural levels of testosterone. Testosterone is the ‘muscle growth’ hormone! I prefer doing compound exercises for this type of training like the squat, the bench press and the shoulder press. You can use a lot of weight in these movements to strongly stimulate muscle growth.
A study published in 1997 found that knocking out the myostatin gene in mice enabled them to grow bigger muscles. Studies on cattle also found that those that were naturally bulky produced less Myostatin protein. The scientists believe these latest findings show that the same process works in humans.
They also believe that techniques used to block this gene in mice could be used on humans, including those who have difficulty developing muscles. “This is the first evidence that Myostatin regulates muscle mass in people as it does in other animals," said Dr Se-Jin Lee, professor of molecular biology and genetics.
So , I hope this three elements are already fully present in your routines. If not please do consider this, you will see improvements very fast. It took me quite some time to find exact balance and best program for myself but when I finally did I packed 25lbs of lean muscle mass in just three months.

Muscle Building - How to Build Muscle Fast?
Author: Alien
Pathways For Muscle Building
Various diet supplements and other related muscle building drugs are some risky and unnatural ways to gain muscle fat, but there are some natural and safer ways to gain muscles without being dependent on the weight loss programs which are thought to help one to build muscles and burn excess fat quickly and easily.
Ways to gain muscle fat and shed excess weight with ease:
1) Instead of a strict diet plan that finally leaves to dissatisfaction, one should go for a balanced diet so as to feed the muscles with the compulsory nourishment to lose fat and develop muscles.
2) One will never have to shift to some other diet plans after taking up this method of building muscles and losing fat. After one attains his/her required goals, he/she can continue with the muscle building process and maintain the level of body fat.
3) The first step that should be opted in order to build muscles and lose body fat is to go for small packages of meals about four to six times a day instead of the conventional three times a day.
4) The meals should have sufficient quantities of proteins, fibers and starch content. Eating starch at night should be avoided in order to build muscles and lose fat. The quantity of sugar and fat should be kept as low as possible.
5) It is also recommended that one should drink at least 12 glasses of water per day to maintain the body muscles. Drinking 2-4 cups of tea also help to gain muscle and lose weight.
6) Body weight workouts are additional option apart from traditional body building techniques.
Benefits of building muscles
More calories can be burnt during aerobic exercise if one has more muscles. It is recommended that one should do only that much amount of exercise and physical workout that is required to maintain the body fat level to the desired levels. An efficient way of losing fat and building muscles is by combining the aerobic training along with resistance training.
But most people indulge themselves in drastically lowering their calories and starve themselves so as to lose excess fat. This path is counterproductive and should not be opted. To lose fat before one starts building muscles is a better option. The weight training method helps the muscles to gain strength, while the role of the food that we eat is to act as building blocks of life.

If you could sculpt one body part to perfection for next summer, what would it be? Let me guess – six pack abs! I don’t know anybody who does not want to shrink their waistline, lose body fat, eliminate lower back pain and develop a jaw-dropping set of rock-hard six-pack abs. Building eye-popping abdominals is not the hardest thing to achieve in the world but it’s definitely not the easiest either.
Before you can start learning how to get six-pack abs and discover the truth about what it really takes to build a beach-worthy abdominal section, you must first expose the lies, myths and rumors. Before we talk about how to get six-pack abs, the right way, we must re-program your hard drive and empty the trash can of garbage you have been fed.
Because of all this hyped-up and misguided information – even among so-called ‘fitness experts’ – you should be skeptical of all abdominal training equimpment and programs. Let’s first eliminate the top four ways not to get a six-pack:
Learning how to get a six-pack does not require expensive workout equipment promoted through obnoxious infomercials. You can’t flick on the TV anymore without seeing two new abdominal exercise machines being promoted at once. There are so many of them that if you get suckered into these ‘ab workout' gimmicks, you will be broke quicker than Ben Johnson sprints the 100 meter dash! And get this: Of the $520 million dollars a year spent on exercise equipment, abdominal machines get a $208 million dollar piece of the pie!
Learning how to get a six-pack does not require thousands or even hundreds of crunches a day. So much for the Brittany Spears ab workout! Crunches are decent but totally overused and associated with more being better. Crunches are a very general exercise, and general exercises get general results. Excessive floor crunches shorten the abdominal wall, pull your head forward and emphasize poor posture. They also involve a very low level of stimulation which neglects adequate muscle-fiber recruitment.
Learning how to get a six-pack does not involve starvation diets. Starvation diets starve the muscle when you should be feeding the muscle instead. Guess what happens when you starve your body? Your metabolism shuts down out of survival and causes your body to store fat. Your body must get energy from somewhere, so guess what gets sacrificed? That’s right, your precious muscle which is, in fact, responsible for maintaining a high metabolism. Starve your muscle - great logic!
Learning how to get a six-pack does not require fat-burning pills. What did the last weight loss pill you bought do for you? The same thing the next one is going to do – nothing! Except give you a thinner wallet but not a thinner waist line. The entire concept of taking pills to 'burn fat’ is built on a sandy foundation and misleading because diet pills only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Without focusing on the root problems of a flabby mid-section, like poor nutrition, a crazy lifestyle and improper training, you will just end up where you started – farther away from having a six-pack for summer instead of closer.
Just Because You're Skinny Does Not Mean You Will Have A Six-Pack
The volume of interest I receive from skinny guys who wish to build their mid-sections is more than enough evidence to disprove the false reality of "I should be able to ’see’ my abs if I have low body fat.” I'm sure you know of a friend who is completely scrawny, yet, without a shirt on he, has zero abdominal definition! To me that would be salt on an open wound.
Abdominals Are A Muscle, Too!
You want your arms to be bigger, your shoulders to be broader and your chest to be fuller, correct? And what is the solution to making these muscle groups increase in size? High intensity weight training, overload, consistency and a healthy surplus of calories. Starting to sound familiar?
The same goes for your abdominals. Your abdominals are a muscle group that requires the same formula and attention and are not any different from other muscle groups. For some reason many consider abdominals to be a ’special’ body part that requires a different set of rules and a completely different formula for training. Abdominals were not given a ’secret code' to crack. To get thick, dense abs – the ones that 'pop' out - you must train them with intensity and overload. Here are some practical tips you can apply to your program so that you can be the ‘man’ or ‘gal’ at your gym with a ripped and muscular six-pack. Then I will provide a sample program!
Prioritize By Sequence
If your abs are your worse body part, then why do you keep training them last, at the end of your workout? Which muscles group will receive the highest priority when you train? The ones done at the start of your workout or the ones done at the end of the workout? Of course, the exercises done at the start of the workout while you have the most energy and focus. If abdominals are the muscle group you wish to prioritize, then don't be afraid to disagree with the 'experts' who say “Never train your abdominals first because you’ll weaken your core muscles for the rest of your workout…”. I completely disagree with this and often reply, “Show me the evidence." The typical response is “Nobody does abdominals first…”. That is pure BS. This just supports the notion that many people who work out don’t ever question what they hear or do. They want to be spoon-fed answers and follow the trends of others without thinking for themselves. I ALWAYS train abdominals first in a workout if they need the highest attention.
Prioritize By Frequency
What’s going to receive better results? A muscle group that is trained one time a week or two times a week (assuming you recovered prior to the second workout commencing)? Of course, the muscle that is trained 2x a week. The more stimulus on a muscle, the more growth. That is why professional athletes are professional athletes. They have conditioned their bodies to such a high amount of stress that they are able to train more frequently.
How often you train your abdominals is based on the inverse relationship of intensity and volume. The harder you train your abs, the more rest they need. The less intense you train your abs, the more frequently you can train them! If your goal is rehab or injury prevention, then you will be able to train them often with more frequent and lower loads. If your goal is to make your abs more muscular and dense, then a higher load and less frequency would be ideal. If your goal is maintenance, then a medium load and frequency would be ideal.
If building a sexy six-pack is on your ‘to do’ list for 2008, then start training abdominals 2-4x a week. I will teach you in a moment how to split your abdominals up into two different days based on movement.
Your Genetics and Abdominals
Right now some of you can see a perfectly set of staggered abs that are wide and thick and separated by a line down the middle. Some of you have the classic four-pack which is four big abs with a smooth lower section. Some of you have tiny cubicle boxes sitting high on your abdominal wall. Some of you have the picture perfect eight-pack that makes people’s jaws drop.
>Like every muscle group, all you can do is train them as heavy and hard as possible and hope your genetics take care of the rest. You can’t change the shape or alignment or separation of your abs. You can't move them around and place them where you want them. Your genetics will affect to which degree they “pop” out and to which degree they stay smoother or flatter.
The good news is that abdominals are abdominals and when your body fat levels are around 5-7% you are guaranteed to impress people, including yourself, with a set of hot-looking abs. Even though genetics play a huge role in how they look, it’s important to know how to train them to make them look their best.
Divide Your Abdominals into Two Separate Workouts for Best Results
To train your abdominals safely and effectively you must know the basic movement patterns of your abs and train them within all sub-categories:
• Truck Flexion (upper abs)
• Hip Flexion (lower abs)
• Rotation (obliques)
• Lateral Flexion (obliques)
The majority of books and articles you have read revolve the bulk of the ab exercises around the trunk flexion that is better known as ‘upper ab’ exercises. A full sit up is a perfect example of this.
Bill Starr in his 1976 classic ‘The Strongest Shall Survive’ wrote that the abdominals “…can be strengthened in a wide variety of ways. Sit-ups of all types, leg raises, truck rotation movements all involve the abdominal muscles to a different degree…”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the abdominal program you are following right now is based on one movement - trunk flexion. I am guessing that your primary goal is actually to have a well-defined and sculpted six-pack.
Even though you are training each movement twice per week, you will perform different exercises for each workout.
Use a Variety Of Functional Exercises
The Top 3 Hip Flexion Exercises:
1. Lying Hip Raise
2. Incline Hip Raise
3. Hanging Hip Raise
The Top 3 Trunk Flexion Exercises:
1. Swiss Ball Crunch
2. Weighted Swiss Ball Crunches
3. Weighted Cable Crunches
The Top 3 Rotation Exercises:
1. Russian Twist
2. Weighted Russian Twist
3. Weighted Cable Crossover
The Top 3 Lateral Flexion Exercises:
1. Lateral Flexion on back extension machine
2. Lateral Flexion with medicine ball over head
Conclusion
As said earlier, buiding razor sharp abs is not the easiest task in the work but nor is it the hardest. The above abdominal exercises will help you build a deeply separated and evenly placed set of abs in little time. The truth is that if you can’t see your abs, then the best exercise for your abs will be better diet.

STEROIDS!
Author: Bob Howard
Steroids are the popular terms used to describe synthetic compounds that are closely related to the male sex hormone testosterone.
Anabolics were first synthesized in the late 1930s to treat a condition called hypogonadism, in which the testes do not produce sufficient levels of testosterone. Low levels of testosterone lead to improper physical development and low sexual desire in males. The primary medical uses of these drugs are to treat delayed puberty in teenaged males, impotence, and to treat such wasting diseases as cancer and AIDS.
It was during 1930s, that scientists discovered that steroids could increase the growth of skeletal muscle in laboratory animals. Once word of these effects reached the athletic community it wasn’t long before bodybuilders, weightlifters and athletes in other power sports began using them in their cycles. The use of these powerful drugs is so widespread in athletics that it routinely affects competition results.
To date more than 100 different anabolic steroids have been created and each year scientists add to the inventory. Because of current legislation these drugs are only legally available by prescription in the United States. But this hasn't stopped users from obtaining the drugs on the black-market; most of which are smuggled in from Mexico and Europe. There is also a thriving practice of diverting the drugs from the inventories of U.S. pharmacies, or manufacturing them in clandestine basement laboratories.
Why use steroids?
There are numerous reasons why people use these powerful drugs. Competitive bodybuilders use them to build large amounts of striated muscle mass. Virtually all pro bodybuilders use these drugs and a high percentage of amateurs do as well. In such sports as sprinting, bobsledding, and the shot-put, these drugs will give the user much more explosive power. Even though Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson is the most famous sprinter to have tested positive for steroids, it is estimated that over 90 percent of sprinters in the Olympics use performance-enhancing drugs. And it’s not just limited to men either. The great Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics, would not be able to win a women’s race today.
The largest group of people who use these drugs are not athletes, however. Most people who hit the “juice” are only taking them to increase their muscle size and/or to reduce their body fat percentages. In other words they are using the drugs to look better. Ask most guys why they are bodybuilding and they will say because they want to look better for getting girls. They have no intentions of trying to make the Olympics or win the Mr. Olympia. They just want to build a better-looking body.
There is also an internal reason for many people to try steroids. Many times people turn to these drugs because they are competing against themselves. They’ve reached a point where bench pressing 300 pounds or weighing 220 pounds is not enough. They want to bench 400 or weigh 250 pounds of ripped muscle. After setting goals for themselves and slaving away for years they reach a point where they either accept the results they've achieved or turn to steroids. Most people will accept what they’ve accomplished without drugs. They may try some of the natural steroid alternatives that are available, but they usually don’t succumb to the risks of the drugs.
Delivery methods - Getting them in there!
There are three routes of administration for steroids, oral, intramuscular, and transdermal. Oral steroids are swallowed as pills and while the easiest to take, have the most side effects. This is because the drugs have been chemically modified to survive their passage through the harsh environment of the digestive system. Unfortunately this chemical modification makes the drugs harder on the liver.
As the name suggests, intramuscular means injecting into a muscle. Although sticking a needle into the body sounds gruesome, it’s not that difficult or dangerous provided the person uses some good common sense. Millions of children do it every day with insulin injections for diabetes. Injectable drugs are considered safer because they don’t need to be chemically modified to survive the digestive system. They go straight into the blood stream.
The third category of delivery is called transdermal. This means a patch, gel or cream containing the drug is applied to the skin and the drug seeps through the skin into the blood stream. As with injectables, transdermal drugs are considered safer than orals.
Use and abuse!
Bodybuilders have a reputation for throwing caution to the wind, whether it is training, eating, or their social behavior. Steroid use is no different. Some bodybuilders abuse the drugs and take anywhere from 10 to 100 times the recommended medical dosage. They also typically “stack” the drugs, meaning that they use two or more different drugs all at once. They may be all the same type (i.e. all orals or injectables) or a combination of all three types. They may also use steroids that are only intended for veterinary use.
The purpose of stacking is to get what bodybuilders call the “synergetic effect.” The theory is that taking multiple drugs all at once produces more size and strength gains than taking the drugs individually; and while not verified scientifically, bodybuilders swear it happens
Pyramiding - not just for Egyptians!
Besides stacking, users also “pyramid” their doses in cycles of 6 to 12 weeks. For example at the start of a cycle, the person starts with low doses of the drugs being used and then slowly increases the doses on a weekly basis up to the midpoint. Then at the halfway point of the cycle, the dosages are slowly decreased back to low amounts or zero. Bodybuilders believe that pyramiding allows the body time to adjust to the high doses and reduces the risk of side effects.
For bodybuilders and other athletes in drug- tested sports, pyramiding gives users a better chance of passing the test. The theory is that by decreasing the dosage over time, there will not be enough drug or drug metabolites (breakdown products of the original drug) remaining in the person’s system to be detected.
It’s your choice but be informed!
The decision to use steroids is ultimately yours and yours alone. But before you start meeting some dealer in a back alley, make sure you have all the facts. Are you familiar with steroid legislation? Does your state prosecute bodybuilders on a regular basis? Do you have pre-existing problems that may increase your chances of developing severe side effects? Do you compete in sports with drug tests?
The information on these pages has been created by experts to increase your knowledge about steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. Use it wisely. Be informed. Be knowledgeable!

Gain Double Muscle Mass With Proper Supplement Timing
Author: Sasha James
Workout intensity is important but supplement timing is even more important for your muscle strength and lean muscle mass gains. Imagine you can advance 2 times faster ? And what if this applies on getting rid of body fat at same speed? And what you would say if you add to this 10-30% higher lifts / strength gain in your best bench press, squat and dead lift?
Before you decide it is impossible allow me to show you results obtained from a clinical trial that examined the effects of supplement-timing.
What is Supplement-timing?
I know this is not the first time for you to hear about the importance of supplement timing. Steel I can be quite sure that it is the first time you face this powerful approach to this subject. In proved Natural gain muscle mass systems like I follow supplement-timing is effectively used and all weight lifters who follow it just burst out off joy in short time after they start doing things properly.
Let me tell you about what you missed until now in case you did not use supplement-timing until now. If you are using it please check the rest of this article anyway since you may be surprised . Proper and most effective supplement-timing involves taking one serving of micronized creatine with one serving of whey protein isolate in ice-cold water, just before and after training. If you are bigger, leaner or have a faster metabolism you will feel even greater benefit from increasing the dose of each serving.
A newest study featured in a recent issue of "New Scientist" reported that bodybuilders who supplemented with whey protein isolate and creatine immediately before and after every workout gained double more in lean muscle mass as a control group. An extra benefit is that this strategy also gives you better strength gains and reduced body fat % at the same time!
Why is Supplement-timing so effective?
Since this is science-based approach to optimizing the anabolic response to training it is easy to understand why this strategy ignites more powerful anabolic response from each and every workout. All serious researches on speeding up muscle building process (if they opened their results to public) all point towards the timing imoprtance. It is all about the ways and means to produce synergistic response that provided a much more powerful anabolic (growth) response to exercise. Off course this conditions in the body promote faster recovery and greater synthesis of muscle protein. However, the idea was merely a theory, until now.
Based on the unique properties of whey protein isolate and micronized creatine when this study is made, it is done with the scientific conviction that consumption of these two supplements just before and right after the intense workout would supply all the necessary components at precisely right time to amplify the anabolic effect of the workout. The results obtained from a well-controlled clinical trial with weight lifters clearly proved author to be correct!
Supplementation with whey protein isolate and micronized creatine just before and immediately after every workout during a 10 week training program produced much better strength gains in two out of three tests. Supplementation with whey protein isolate and micronized creatine also provided gain in lean (muscle) mass that was 100% greater than that achieved by the control group. That’s correct, double the gain in muscle mass!
No “magic” supplement on the market will achieve this effect. Definitely, none have evidence from well-controlled clinical research that demonstrate this effect. The carbohydrates contained in creatine produce huge anabolic effect on muscle. The research on whey isolate and its packing on muscle mass during clinical research is unmatched thanks to it’s a unique formulation that ensures an abundance of growth-stimulating amino acids and bio-active peptides are delivered directly to muscles to stimulate protein synthesis, minimize breakdown and speed recovery.
The Conclusion
Can I ask you stupid question such as "....do you want to Build 100% more lean muscle, two times faster?”. You don’t take my words as granted but try and see the results in your own mirror!
1. Follow powerful principals of gain muscle mass workouts .
2. Determine your exact nutritional requirements.*
3. Create conditions for fast, muscle gain with proper intake of calculated calories in 6 or more, frequent meals during the day.*
Simple steps of Maximizing the muscle growth response with supplement-timing are ;
Take one serving of whey isolate and creatine just before and immediately after every workout. This science-based method stimulates a much faster rate of recovery and more powerful muscle gain response that produces better gains in muscle mass and strength.
Supplement-timing is a simple, straight forward strategy that is proved in effects and results by this research. Who can say that those are not amazing results?
Do not forget it is all depended on our ability to recognize the quality. With all the outrageous, completely unfounded claims made by some companies about their products, it's easy to forget what works the best.

It seems like every week there is a new infomercial promoting a fast and easy way to get ripped abs. But if there was a fast and easy way to get ripped abs, why do so few people actually have them?
The reality is that there are no fast and easy ways to get a great set of abs. Ripped abs, or six pack abs, are the result of having well trained abs AND a low percentage of body fat.
The first step to getting ripped abs, or just stronger, more defined abs, is to make sure that you train your abs the proper way. Unfortunately, many people train their abs incorrectly because there is so much misinformation surrounding ab training. The correct way to train your abs is to train them like any other muscle group. The muscle tissue in your abs is no different than the muscle tissue in your other body parts.
Ab Training Tips
Training Frequency - Train your abs two or three times per week. Your abs need time to recover from a training session just like any other muscle group, so never train your abs on consecutive days.
Sets and Reps - Perform three to five sets each training session, 10 to 20 reps each set. Don’t waste time performing endless sets and reps trying to "burn off" fat from your abs. Exercising a specific area of the body will build and strengthen the underlying muscle but it will have no direct effect on fat loss.
Form and Technique - Use the muscle power of the abs to complete each rep. Concentrate on contracting the abs using a steady and controlled manner. Do not perform your reps at a fast speed using momentum.
Specific Exercises - There are a lot of good ab exercises to choose from. Try a variety of different exercises in order to determine which ones your abs respond best to.
Regardless of how good your ab training program is, you’ll never be able to see your abs if you have too much body fat. Aerobic exercise and healthy eating are necessary to keep your body fat low enough so that your abs are visible. The amount of aerobic exercise you would need to do and the type of eating plan you would need to implement would be based on factors such as how much body fat you had to lose, what body type you are, and what your metabolism is like.
