JNN, you got some sick abs, may I ask how often you train abs?

overtrained, can't be overtrained?

sory jnn, but if you train abs like me you WILL overtrain them

twice a week tops.

dipends what you want though... I want to improve my ab wheel power... and if you train ab wheel correctly (from standing stance) you cant train abs even twice a week because it's just impossible... you will just wear them out, they won't get better.

First do ab wheel from standing stance 4 sets, then do ab wheel 4 sets from kneeling stance, then do stomac crunches against the wall 4 sets, and then lower abs 4 sets.

each set as many reps as you can.... lol train abs like that every day? Doubt it.

I quit having any of my clients and athletes do almost any type of "crunching" movement years ago.

Just curious, what is your thought process behind that protocol? and when you say clients are you including bodybuilders you train?

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:21:41 PM »

I don't train bodybuilders. I'll explain why when I get to a computer. But it has almost everything to do with lumbar flexion, injury and disk degeneration.

Timmy does them everyday 365 days a year. Always been obsessed with having a six pack.

But, Timmy eats too much chocolate and has too much fun with the chocolate ladies, thus upping his fat and cortisol levels...

Set a goal and past it. Easy now it's just routine. Speaking of chocolate though. Timmy was just floating around the Caribbean. Island girls do it better.

which islands?
