SIX-PAC

sunnyjack Posts: 159 Joined: 2001/03/01	2001/03/05, 06:25 PM I work my abs each day I work out (5 or 6 days a week) Is this too much? My six-pac is there but I sure would like to see more definition. Body fat is somewhere between 5 and 9%.

Amr_Mr.Olympia Posts: 195 Joined: 2001/04/03	2001/03/08, 01:09 AM do 15-20 reps of each ab workout..because now you need to thicken your ab muscles.. I have about 15% bodyfat and have deeply cut six-pacs with most of my intercostals showing..that is because my abs are thick enough and even if the stomach muscles grow out, they won't be as big as you think, they will just bulge alittle outwards and show great cuts, especially with a 5%b.f.
sunnyjack Posts: 159 Joined: 2001/03/01	2001/03/08, 03:38 PM Thanks for the advice. I'll add more resistance and let you know my progress... I guess I'm putting in enough time - I just need to crank up the intensity to get the definition I'm after.
