Workout Buffs **need midsection routine**

[bigreg2007]

Wassup peeps. I'm in need of a midsection routine. For the last 5 weeks I've been "gettin back" and trying to change my appearance through a rigourous 6 day a week workout routine:

Monday: Chest workout. At least 4 exercises(bench press, flys, incline, push ups,etc.) 3 X 10-12

Tuesday: Arm workout. At least 5 exercises(bicep curls, arm extensions, push-downs,over-head press,etc.) 3 X 10-12

Wednesday: Back/Shoulders. At least 4 exercises(Lat pull downs, military press, rows, dips,etc.) 3 X 10-12

Thursday: Legs. At least 4 exercises(Squats, leg extensions, calf raises, lunges, etc.)

Friday: 1-2 hour shoot around ... including 3 laps every thirty-minutes.

Saturday: Rest

Sunday: Start cycle over

Each workout day before I start weights I start with 10 minutes of cardio (bike,eleptical, or shoot around). I stretch. I do 100 various crunches (basic, bicycle, sides, leg lifts,etc.)

I'm starting see changes overall, but I'm not seeing a "drastic" enough change in the midsection. I'm considering dedicating a a whole "workout day" to midsection but I need a routine. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Do more cardio. You have to burn the fat off thats coverin the midsection.

Good lookin peeps...appreciate your comments.

I have changed my diet somewhat. A lot more fish and chicken. I've always been a huge veggy eater. I hardly eat deep fried foods anymore(maybe once a week as a treat ) I eat like five times a day. No simple carbs at all in my diet. And I only cook with olive or peanut oil. So I think I'm going to step up my cardio game.

Still, Im curious as to what "other" ab routines people are doing...just so I dont get bored. What do yall do!?

okay, try this for one week. JUST ONE WEEK...and let me know what happens in this thread.

this is not bullshit. come back in this thread after one week and tell people what happened.

get a tape measure and measure your waist.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday before your reoutines do this:

put your feet under a barbell, sofa, or anything that wll stabilize your body.

lay flat on the floor, with your arms across your chest.

breathe in through your nose, and slowly raise your upper body.

keep your upper body completely straight, do not raise your head or shoulders first, keep strict form. consentrate on using your abdominal and lower back muscles to raise yourself, AGAIN, keep your upper body totally straight.

stop at a 45% angle, hold it for 5 seconds, then slowly lower your body while you exhale.

try to do 5. don't do shit else. try to hold them longer and do more as it becomes easier to you,

at the end of the week, measure your waist again. i guarantee it will be 1 to 3 inches smaller.

You have to hit the cardio. The trainers I know say at least 30 minutes. They say at 20 minutes you are just starting to burn the fat off.

The chicken and fish is a good start with the diet. Drink plenty off water also.

 

[Anothermind]

I do straight crunches, leg lifts, and oblique crunches every day. I could feel the pack developing under my skin but couldn't see it developing until I started throwing in 40 minutes of cardio (in the morning) and 30 minutes of cardio (at night) into the mix, along with eathing nothing but chicken salad/wraps and sea food + lightly cooked or uncooked vegetables.

You probably don't need to do that much cardio to be honest. From what I understand you need something that is going to get your heart rate up, then jump from one weighted exercise to the next very quickly (circuit routine) to keep it up in order to burn the fat. I just do this much cardio to wake me up in the morning and because I'm trying to build overall endurance.

In any case, diet is the key. Water is also very important. At least 1 gallon/day.

If you want to lose alot of weight do 45 minutes of cardio. I remember last year when I started losing weight I couldn't hold my clothes up doing 45 minutes a day. I'm back now getting back on my routine. I'm starting off with 40 minutes but in a month or so I want to work up to a hour a day.

 

[Esquire1978]

Good looking out. I just got back into the gym and was thinking I'm happy with the way everything is coming along except for that midsection.

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

do cardio....i forgot what ur body fat percentage has to be in order to see ur abs...but just do more cardio....eat the right foods...and do crunches ..but not many..
i know u may hear celebs on tv talking about they do 300 a day.
well let me tell u they wasting their time...bunch of bs
u can do just 25 hard burning crunches and it will give u the same results the guy who did 300 got.
trust me

but back to the cardio....dont do more than 30 mins straight..unless u kinda on the heavy side
if u dont have much fat
30 is good enough
if you do more than 45..then youll just start burning muscle instead on fat.
so that means all the muscle u have built will be ate up.



anyways..............30 mins cardio (3 times a week...or 4 times if u have a little extra poundage)....healthy food......no more than 50 crunches a day (try different stylez)..and make sure the burn like hell...once u get to number 10..u should be stinging really good

youll be ood

Damn, it's good to see so many cats trying to improve. I too have found a nice gym, and for the last 2 weeks, I have done 45 minutes of cardio, along with gradually changing my eating habits. I actually feel better. Good luck to us all.

i got a question is an hour of cardio a day good? I too want incredible abs as and is it possible to develop one of those sick looking chests within 2 months?

and a question i was asked, what is a safe amount of weight to lose a month? my boy is askin me is it safe to lose like 15-20 a month, i know its possible just extremely difficult, i told him just drink water, speed up metabolism and cardio all the time....any advice?

 

[femmenoire]

Any trainer will tell you that the abdominal muscles are already there. It's the layer of fat over it that you need to get rid of to reveal them.

The only way to do that is cardio and diet.

You can crunch all you want.


And everyone is different. For some it may take an hour of cardio a day. For others it may be 3 hours. I know for me, because I'm insulin resistant...I had to do 3 hours of cardio a day for me to see the effects in the abdomen.

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Defined abs = Diet,exercise, and genetics (In that order)
Diet is self explanatory..
As far as workout: I Highly recommend the abwheel:

and static holds.

I train very intense 4 days a week.I do crossfit (www.crossfit.com) and train Mixed martial Arts. My abs are fairly defined from this exercise alone.When summer hits I do my same routine but throw in the following ab routine:
Ab wheel(from knees):3 sets of 5 or ladder to 10(google ladder workout).
Then I do static holds from elbows for 1 min front and sides.
Genetic wise im not predisposed to abs but this routine NEVER fails in giving me a 6 pack without any diet changes.

diet, diet, diet...and the rest will come.

Not using any supplements as of yet...I'm really not sure what to use. Lots of water, restrict diet, and various crunches...hearing you loud and clear homie.

If you're overweight or obese its normal to lose 15lbs in a month. When I first started I was averaging about 15lb per month. I worked out like 6 days a weeek and ate right. I also went cold turkery on soda's and liquor so thats why some people will lose that much. You stop all bad things going in your mouth and eat right with proper exercise you'll lose that much. Your body is or was just being deprived. All some people use that sauan I swear it helps take off the bloating. Shit also just makes me sleep better imo. I don't know about developing a sick looking chest in 2 months, but depending on your body type you can develop some chest. I'd suggest doing multiple chest exercises as well as doing push ups at home. Building a body isn't just about 1 body part its about a whole bruh.
