How many sit-ups a day to get a 6 pack. How long would it take? I am naturally a bit skinny so it should show no fat whatsoever on my stomach
One day I done 1000 sit up it hurt my abs for like a week but I saw results.
THE REED™ 10-08-2008, 09:26 AM weighted ab work out are the best,
getting rid of the fat in front of the abs is the first step.. if you have no fat, but still cant see your abs, you wanna do more then tighten them with situps... you want to build them with weighted exercises...
get an incline sit up bench and put a weight on ur chest...
u wanna add weight to build the abdominal muscle bigger so they protrude more
Alexis Vastine 10-08-2008, 09:27 AM Yeah about a 1000 a day is good. Do different types of stomach exercies. I do 400 sit ups, 400 crunches, and 400 leg crunches. can't be asked wi the twisting most of time but that is good stuff too. If you are already lean or if you run, it should conme out. IMO it is good for confidence in boxing because you feel you are in shape.

The answer is 12.654
The problem is if you do more than 12.654 you won't see results, and if you do less than 12.654 you wont see results. It has to be 12.654 sit ups exactly. Not 12 or 13 or 12 1/2 or 12.655, it has to be exactly 12.654 sit ups.

first right answer
alza1988 10-08-2008, 02:19 PM I would say quality over quantity especially on sit ups.I sometimes feel as if I can do endless sit ups without any intenseity ,if you do 50 sit ups but dont contact your abs it's pointless,your best bet is to do less but slower for a better burn ,exhale at the top of the crunch ,crunch your abs and breath out ,keep your abs contracted through the full range on movement and breath gently,its like f-u-c-k-i-n-g rocket science just make sure you get a good burn, watever works for you ,abs are the trickiest.
alza1988 10-08-2008, 02:27 PM These ones are good for a burn , I just use a barbell for my feat or sometimes nothing

Cadillac Man 10-08-2008, 02:30 PM The most important part of getting to see ur ABS is DIET. You can do 10,000 sit us a day but if u eat like **** you'll never see em
Landon S 10-08-2008, 02:32 PM Diet will be the main factor, you need a low bf% to have them show. The truth is you already have a 6 pack but to show it off the fat needs to be off em. You can however build up the abs and tone them and they'll look better when you do lose the weight. Start running if your not already 3-5 miles every couple of days and train at your gym. Rosstraining.com has some great conditioning routines that rip the fat right off you, great for in between days of running or as a pseudo replacement if you hate running. I'll give you two routines I go through that are great and easily adjusted to your strength level.
this is the easier one, do 2-4 rounds with 1 minute rest in between, when you can do this with 30 seconds rest while maintaining a good pace go to the next routine: each exercise for 30 seconds...crunches, sit-ups, leg raises, chinnies, side jack-knifes (left), side jack-knifes (right)
#2...30 seconds each, 60 seconds rest between rounds, 2-4 rounds: high-tension crunches, tuck crunches, double crunches, chinnies, lying leg swings, supermen.
high tension crunches are just regular crunches but you stop at the hardest position and hold for 5 seconds.
BTW this is just a suggestion as to how you COULD get a six pack, hard work is the way to do it
sukhenkoy 10-08-2008, 02:58 PM You gotta do 6 situps, once every 6 days, at exactly 6 o'clock pm if you want six pack abs.
Honestly, though, there isn't really a definite answer. Obviously, the more you do, the better your chance will be of getting six-pack abs, but, like many have already said, you need to eat well to get your body fat percentage down, and you should vary up your ab exercises to see results.

For you, don't worry about the diet, but focus on weighted sit ups, crunches, side bends and stuff. There are heaps of different types that you can do but just mix it up. I can show you some if you want, just message me.
Alexis Vastine 10-09-2008, 06:02 AM true in most cases but you can burn the fat by running. Depends on metabolism of individual too. Frog crunches are a good one to work every single part of the abs.

Do them just like that with the arms out but to increase the range in the bottom half put your feet together and have your knees spread apart.
AndyTravis 10-09-2008, 06:07 AM Alexis showed some good ones. I reckon if you keep them up you'll be good, but chuck some weighted ones in there as well. And eat your meat you skinny cunt.
KostyaTszyu44 10-09-2008, 06:53 AM i have a somewhat good sixpack, you can see it pretty good when i tense
i got it by doing crunches a few times a week, and plenty of running, as well as a decent diet
and i guess all my other boxing training like sparring, skipping, bagwork, etc may have helped a little

You're such a dick. 1000 sit ups every day and after a few days he wouldn't be able to move.
For the thread starter, Just mainly watch what you eat and do plenty of crunches, running and swimming. They will appear eventually.
AndyTravis 10-09-2008, 07:21 AM flawster.. **** the diet advice on here. you're too skinny as is, you just need to build muscle.

No they won't. You're the dick! And a demotivating bum. It's obvious that you don't start off at the top you build your way up. Just like everything else in fitness. I haven't seen anyone with abs who was not of the anorexic bodytype who would struggle to do 1000 per day. It's not even that much! Anyone who is athletic and has abs finds it easy to do alot of ab work. It's not a coincidence either. it is common sense!
JoHnNyBoXeR 10-09-2008, 11:28 PM as many as you can do to move you to the store so u can buy one
Hitman932 10-09-2008, 11:35 PM There is no number, you do them until you can't any longer.
8-10 sets to failure twice a week should do the trick.
Use a decline bench to do them and keep your stomach muscles tense the entire time.
