3 Abs Training Exercises For Ripped Abs

By Mitch Graves

The six pack is widely known as the holy grail of fitness.

They mainly say this because this area is among the most stubborn when it comes to losing fat.

For many this can be a frustrating challenge, if you're carrying around a pot belly, or an overhang. All you want to do is get rid of it!

Well I'm here to show you the most effective abs training exercises that build muscle the fastest. Of course you have to also focus on 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.

So here are 3 great abs training exercises for ripped abs.

1. Rope Pull Down Crunch

* Get a mat and set the pulley up high
* Crouch down on your knees about 4 ft away from the column
* Adjust the weight accordingly
* Grab the rope and do a crunch
* Most importantly - keep your hips still and curl your torso down
* Try to pull your elbows to your knees
* Keep your chin tucked in to take stress off your lower back
* Hold for a sec, then release

This exercise is great because it keeps your abs in tension the entire time and you get a full range of motion. Do 8-12 reps for 3 sets. You should be about to max out on the last few reps of the last set.

2. Hanging Knee Raise

*Start in a hanging position from a pull up bar
*Bend your knees
*Curl your torso upward
*Try to touch your knees to your elbows
*Use your abs, not your hip flexors

As you get stronger, you can add 5, 10, or 15 lbs dumbbells between your feet. 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 will pack on muscle faster than anything you've ever tried - guaranteed. - 17274
