Advanced Ab Workout Tips: Discover How to Get Abs Permanently

Doing the exact same exercises and the exact same number of reps every single workout won’t further your ab muscle development. But doing a variety of exercises will help you work every ab muscle from every angle and keep your muscles responsive.

And, having a variety of ab exercises to do won’t be a problem anymore since you now have your very own arsenal of the best abs exercises! ;-)

But, also incorporating the following best advanced ab workout tips into your abs exercise routines will keep your ab muscles guessing for continuous great results!

How to get abs permanently...

Increase Difficulty Over Time

Add more resistance and challenge yourself. Initially, you want to perform up to three sets of up to 15 reps, or simply as many high-quality reps as you can with your own body weight.

As you progress, choose exercises that are more difficult. But if you want to take it to the next level, you can add weight to certain exercises to always be adding more resistance as your abs grow stronger.

Go Heavy, and Light

You can alternate days of heavy training and light training. For example, one day you could do up to 15 reps, or as many high-quality reps as you can until you reach failure. Then on another day, you can do only heavy ab training with five or more sets of four to five reps.

Go Back to Back

Your ab muscles recover a lot faster compared to your other major body parts. In general, it recovers within forty-eight hours or less. So, if your abs does recover quickly (like me). Then train them on back-to-back days!

For example, I personally like to workout my abs at least twice a week and I’ll train them on back-to-back days. Meaning if I train my abs on a Monday, then I’ll hit them again on Tuesday. This helps to keep constant resistance on the abs and shocks the ab muscles leading to new growth!

This is something to keep in mind, and put in your repertoire. It’s something I like to do because it works. ;-)

But a good rule of thumb is if you’re still sore from a previous workout. Then your abs isn’t ready to be trained yet.

Do Supersets, Tri-sets, and Giant Sets

You can also incorporate advanced techniques such as doing supersets, tri-sets, and giant sets. But you’ll need time to build your strength and endurance.

Supersets involve performing two exercises in a row without stopping--each exercise should target a different section of your abs. For example, you might do 15 reps of Reverse Crunches, then without any rest, you jump right into 12 reps of Basic Crunches. That’s one superset. Then you would take your 30- to 60-second rest.

Likewise, a tri-set is three exercises in a row without stopping. A giant set is four or more exercises in a row without stopping.

Supersets, tri-sets and giant sets are advanced techniques that mix up your routine and keep your muscles alert. This technique is one of the best ways to develop the abs. And best of all, you finish your ab workout faster while getting superior results!

But please note this technique does not apply to yoga poses! To increase the difficulty of yoga poses, simply increase the number of breaths you hold each pose.

Reduce Your Rest Periods Between Sets

At first, your goal is to keep a nice pace of thirty to forty seconds rest between each set. But, as you get stronger decrease it to ten seconds rest between sets.

Reason is your abs is an endurance muscle to begin with and recovers quicker after each set of an exercise compared to other major body parts. So long rests periods are unnecessary and is counterproductive.

Shorter rests will keep tension and build strength on your abdominal muscles for better results. Not to mention you’ll burn off a few extra calories as well!

Just another way to create more resistance on your ab muscles!
