It’s been said by many people that the six pack is the holy grail of working out and getting in shape.
And for good reason, because that area is among the most stubborn to lose belly fat.
If you’re carrying around a lot of belly fat, this can be very frustrating. All you want to do is get rid of it!
This article will focus on the abs training exercises that build results the fastest. The other aspects of abs training include nutrition and cardio.
I personally had a toned midsection from all the sports I was doing, but I didn’t have a really defined six pack. I switched up what I was doing with this one tip I’m about to teach you and got phenomenal results.
The tip that gave me a ripped six pack was to add weight! Once I began to train my abs like other muscles, they began to grow like other muscles.
Ok, so here are the three best abs training exercises for ripped abs.
1. Rope Pull Down Crunch
*Set the pulley up high and get a mat
*Get on your knees about 4ft from the column
*Adjust the weight
*Pull the rope attachment to either side of your head
*Keep your hips still and curl your torso – trying to touch your elbows to your knees
*Keep your chin tucked to relieve your lower back
*Hold for a one count and release
With this exercise, you get a full range of motion and your abs remain in tension throughout the movement. Do the standard 8-12 reps for 3 sets.
2. Hanging Knee Raise
*Begin hanging from a pull up bar
*Bend your knees
*Curl your knees upward trying to touch them to your elbows
*Use only abs – no hip flexors
Once you get comfortable, you can hold a 5,10, or 15 lbs weight between your feet. I promise you’ve never felt anything like this before. 8-12 reps for 3 sets.
3. Decline Bench Sit Up
*Adjust the height – more declined more advanced
*Hold 5 lb weights on either side of your head
*Do a regular sit up keeping your chin tucked
*Stop just below horizontal but don’t let your shoulders touch the bench – repeat
This exercise also allows for a full range of motion because you drop below the horizontal. Dumbbells are better than the plates for this exercise. 8-12 reps for 3 sets.
These abs training exercises are sure to pack on muscle in your midsection and give that pop-out washboard you’ve always been looking for. On my website, I’ve included a video with these plus two more great exercises, one of which that I invented that targets your entire midsection and will leave you ripped in a few weeks.
