Abs Without Crunches

Okay, so abs are the big thing... but my God, they take serious discipline to get! Abs are hidden under the abdominal fat (which is the hardest to get rid of).




Abs will only appear on bodies that have a low body fat percentage. To get a low body fat percentage, you have to burn body fat. To do that, you need to be disciplined with your diet BIG TIME, supplement with high quality supplements and you need to bring in full body exercises into your workouts.

Compound full body exercises are more beneficial for abs than crunches!

Why??

Because you need to get lean first!! Crunches aren't hard, but chin ups are! Abs aren't easy to get, so obviously easy training won't get you abs. You need to make sure that your workouts are challenging!!



Okay, apart from the fact that deadlifts are my favourite exercise, if you want to boost fat loss, the main objective it to get stronger. You must include full body exercises, like deadlifts, into your routine!



Compound exercises are exercises that require all of your main muscle groups to work really really hard to perform the exercise properly!

Full body exercises are deadly because they really help develop your core strength! Steady core muscles are vital for many reasons... but mainly... because you look deadly with abs! To work your core properly, you need to be making sure that there are full body compound exercises in your programmes.

Full body compound exercises include;

Deadlifts
Squats
Chins 
Cleans

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,
