Question about CRUNCHES

[Tech Quadafi]

Should crunches be treated like any other exercise targeting a muscle group...

ie. taking breaks?

for example, when lifting weights, usually u do it 3-4-5 days a week with breaks thrown in there

but i do crunches on a daily basis, hundreds, throughout the day

should i be giving myself breaks in between days or is everyday cool?

I used to do this, I decided to just increase resistance instead and did less and now my abs are "bigger"..

Anything you can do a hundred of, every day, must be far too easy..

LOL @ your name

Hundreds of crunches a day???? You would do yourself better by taking that time and doing cardio. I do situps with resistance and my abs are turning into arranged ravioli :yes: But you will never get the nice abs without good diet and lots of cardio. If you have those two you won't even need to do crunches really.

i do cardio 30 min a day, 5 days a week, have a relatively decent diet, and lift weights 4-5 times a week


i just do crunches to pass time, a lil extra compliment to my routine if u will

i do 800 a day spread throughout the day

4 sessions of 200

one in the morning, two during my workout, one before bed

I do weighted sit ups everyday. I try to monitor pains and pulls to avoid overtraing. I increase the weight 5lbs every week or so.

I do: 30lbs. declined. 3 x 10

I'm not a pro, but this has been gettin results.
