Doing abs while bulking?

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/03/28, 10:29 AM Is this a good idea? I kinda dread doing abs, but I wouldn't mind them being stronger. I know that I'm not going to see them cut anytime soon because I'm on a bulking cycle, but what if I grow the muscle underneath them and then lose weight later? Will the grown muscle underneath make them more defined once I start cutting? or will it be the same as if I didn't work out my abs at all? DX

If you don't do this, it is hard as you know to build muscle while calorie deprived, and how many times do you hear folks yell they can't see their abs when dieting. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I must be misinformed, but I thought that it was impossible to build muscle while calorie deprived. I don't have time to workout abs at the gym since I workout 6 times a week for only 1 hour. I am limited with the time i have because my mom waits for me while I workout. (she's goes out to stores she doesn't just sit on the bench watching me) Many people have different opinions over which ab exercises work the best. My question is, what works best for you? I'm sure you do abs. DX
