Strong Abs?

[Retart]

I'm trying to build up my abs, and just doing sit-ups isn't working, I assume because there's no resistance. It used to be fine when i was at the gym because i just did sit ups on the decline bench. What sort of things can i do to increase resistance or just generally harder ab exercises?

Thanks man, just did that for the first time and it f*cked me up big style (which is a good thing i guess)

Hold a weight while you're doing your sit ups.

i'm suprised no idiots have come inside saying soemthing about Body Fat or cardio....:laugh:

(inside joke, u prolly wont get it if you don't frequent fitness/bodybuilding forums often)

Basically....the abs are comprosised into more than 1 section, most people don't realize this, and that's why they don't look impressive, and never are strong enough to their full potential:

Main/Middle = 50%
Lower abs = 10%
Upper Abs =10%
Sides/Obliques =25%
Hidden=5%


Anyways, for the middle/main part of your abs, your gonna have to cop a roman chair, and do situps with a weighted plate on your chest:

For your lower abs, you want to do foward leg extensions on a bench, pretty self explantory (they mainly work the quads, so I do em on leg day)

for your upper abs, you do Pull overs

(these mainly work your chest and tris, so I do em on upper body day)

For the obliques, you do side deadlifts, aka one arm deadlifts:

(Instead of using a regular 7' barbell, i'd use a 6' bar, because it can cause alot of balance issues with a longer one....)

Now, in your abs, there are hidden muscles that you don't even know are there....

google stomach vacuums, those will work out those hidden muscles, and as a bonus, they'll cut some inches off your waist too ;)

Homie dont even bother............................Abs require a whole change in your eating lifestyle. Abs took me years to get and I had natual born abs. I know ni66as in the gym that can becnh 400 but cant get defined abs. Its all in your body structure

Bullsh*t about a change in your eating lifestyle, it might have been that for you but i know people that eat bullsh*t all week and still got defined abs

I got no problem at a 6 pack either, but I'm also around 8 percent body fat maybe lower because I train for soccer year long. I want an 8 pack and that ish is impossible. I've tried everything.
