The Essential Warm-up

Warming up prior to every weight training session is a must.The warmup is essential to improve elasticity in ligaments and tendons. If you warm up thoroughly to is easier on the muscles to lift heavier weights. Lets build those washboard abs. 

Exercise 1 Ab Blasting Crunch

Forget normal crunches lets get advanced for greater results

Lie on the floor in the Crunch position, knees bent, hands over ears, or resting on the back of the head.

Now, crunch up approximately 10 inches, holding the contraction for 6 seconds. In this fully contracted position, squeeze the abs hard. Squeeze your abs hard while returning to the starting position this should take 4 seconds. Repeat until failure. Rest 30 seconds and finish with normal crunches.

Exercise 2 Hanging Leg Raises

Hanging Leg Raises are a superb exercise for building the lower abdominals.

Start by hanging from a lat chin up bar, hands shoulder width apart, arms fully extended.Keeping your knees together but slightly bent raise your legs as high as possible in an attempt to reach your chest, no swinging allowed. Tense the abs hard while holding this position for 5 seconds. Slowly lower your legs and repeat. Always aim for greater than 10 reps.

Exercise 3 Pulley Rope Crunch

This exercise is my favourite for blasting those six pack abs.

With the rope attached to the high pulley on the cable machine, grab one end of it with both hands. Pull the rope down so that you are kneeling on the floor with your hands positioned just above your head, ensure that your hands stay firmly locked in this position. Using the power of your abs pull down from the waist until your elbows touch the floor and squeeze those abs. Make sure you do more than 10 reps. Religiously performing these lower abs exercises will build the washboard abs you so desire.
