90lb Weighted Abs Give You Thick Ab Muscles!

I posted a video today on the importance of Weighted Abs. What are weighted abs you ask? Simple. They are Abdominal exercises that you perform using weight. Wow, you have never heard of such a thing? Well thats why your abs you have now are flat, soft, and maybe even jiggly.... Ha ha!

So you have been just doing 3 sets of 20 situps or crunches or some type of leg raise or bicycle kicks huh? Or maybe you are doing like 100 or 200 reps of something and not really feeling any type of burn. This is why your ab routine is not helping you get the abs you really want.

This is where performing weighted ab exercises really gives you that deep tissue burn and makes those Core muscles nice and thick.  This is how all the ripped guys and girls do it.  I guarantee if you asked anyone who has ripped abs and has noticeable "crevices" on their stomach, will tell you that they use some type of weighted or resisted ab exercise to give them that chiseled look.

So next time you are doing your sets of Ab exercises during your workout, remember to pick up a weight or med ball and perform weighted situps, toe touches, jackknives, crunches, suitcase crunch, and so on...  This will give you a better burn and workout for your abs.

Remember, an easy tip to use when performing abs.  Complete your reps until you feel a good burn and then complete 15-20 more reps until you rest. This will ensure a nice burn and contractions to the muscles for  repair and growth later.  Instead of just completing 20 reps on your sets, you will be able to push yourself a little farther everytime and complete more reps with more weight.

Check out my video here on basic weighted situps. I get up to 90lbs performing them.  You gotta go hard and make it tough on yourself or you wont get anywhere and get the results you want.

Keep working everyday to get better!

I'll see you later!
