Muscle Building - Rock Hard Abs

By Davis Stout

Abs are not only about the washboard stomachs we have grown accustom to seeing on the pro bodybuilding stage. There's a ton more to it then meets the eye. The actual anatomical make up involves the Rectus abdonomis, the external abdominal oblique muscles, serratus anterior and the internal intestinal oblique.

Many of us have a tendency to train our abs as a finishing touch on our overall appearance but we forget the main function of the abdomens. The abdomens are responsible for permitting our bodies to bend forward and back as well as to the side. Their main function is keeping our posture but they also aid in keeping our body stable when indulging in different activities and naturally in both upper body and lower body lifts while iron pumping.

By absolutely understanding the functions of our abdomens we are able to then implement effective ways of training them. As you read earlier our abdomens allow us to "flex our trunks" or in other words bend forward. The easiest way to effectively teach them is to copy this movement while in the gym. The reason most iron pumpers train their abs is certainly to increase the definition of the abs.

There are a range of ways to go about getting this. One theory is to get rid of the fat that covers the abdomens. This can be achieved through both dieting and heart activity. Another way to help outline your abdomens is to do abdominal exercises intensely with very high repetitions. The reason for this is that you do not need to add any unwelcome mass to your abs.

Cardiovascular conditioning is easily the most vital aspect used to help a body-builder achieve outlined abdomens. Weightlifters use cardiovascular as a tool to help shed undesired fat. The key to effectively using cardiovascular is to know exactly when to effect it into your routine. If you start doing it to early you may curtail all of the gains you're hopelessly making an attempt to make, but if done to late you will not have enough time to get your abdomens in the shape needed for competition. A good place to begin is about 11 weeks out from the competition. This will give you sufficient time to cut your body fat and water retention.

The most misunderstood and under exploited tool for bodybuilders looking to obtain shredded abs is definitely dieting. - 17274
