“Core training” and “functional training” are the “IN” things today. LESSON #2 – The same old basic ab exercises that have been around for years, STILL work – and that means CRUNCHES! If you want to see your abs, tighten up your diet and do more cardio! The bottom line is, if your abs are covered with a layer of fat, you won’t be able to see them, no matter how much ab exercise you do! If you need help with a fat loss nutrition plan, check out my BFFM fat burning system Even before competitions I only train abs twice a week! Training your abs daily or even every other day for hundreds or thousands of reps is totally unnecessary and a complete waste of time. Most people grossly over train their abs. The hardest part is getting your body fat low enough for your abs to show. Some people might argue that I was just blessed with good genetics in the ab department, which may be true, but based on my experience with others who have less favorable genetics, I still believe that developing the abdominal muscles is easy. Ironically, I believe the abdominal muscles are quite easy to develop much, much easier than building an 18 inch muscular arm, a 315 pound bench, a 400 pound squat, or a wide, V-shaped back, for example. It has everything to do with low body fat. The truth is, getting six-pack “killer” abs has almost nothing to do with training. The myth that ab training burns fat off your abs is so pervasive that I suspect it will never die and simply continue to be passed down from generation to generation. This is probably the biggest misconception that people have about exercise today and I don’t think the general public is EVER going to get it. LISTEN TO ME: AB TRAINING DOES NOT BURN FAT OFF YOUR STOMACH!

Now, you’re probably wondering, how can I possibly get “Killer Abs” with only one ab workout a week? I work my abs like any other small body part, maybe even less. Title: Killer Abs! Old School Style By Line: Tom Venuto Website: Word Count: 3818
