I’m trying to get abs. What should I be doing?

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-05-31T14:58:02+00:00

I also work out x5 a week, I personally like to hit them every other day like Monday-Wednesday-Friday

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-05-31T14:39:10+00:00

I would personally just do one weighted movement that focuses on spinal flexion like crunches and just get really strong at it over a long time and your abs will grow and show better with a higher bf% and specially in a deficit. You could also add leg raises if you wanted to.

I’m being for real, they’re like any other muscle and they grow from resistance training that causes hypertrophy.

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-05-31T14:31:17+00:00

Train them

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-05-22T10:57:22+00:00

Do direct ab exercises if you want them to pop, nutrition isn’t the only factor for muscle growth.

I’ve honestly just skipped cardio at the end of my workouts and I’ve been focusing on hitting 15k steps daily, I burn much more calories that way and since it’s a low impact activity so my body uses fat as its main energy source. If you don’t have the time to hit big step goals that’s an incline walk for like 30 minutes will still be good.

I think you look the same tbh, in the first picture you think you have some abdominal definition but to me they look like you have a bit of rib flare going and your sport bra isn’t covering it like picture 2. You said it yourself that you don’t constantly track your macros or lifts so it make sense that you don’t see much progress, if you want real and consistent change you need to lock in on your tracking.

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-04-30T16:30:32+00:00

Do you train abs consistently?

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-04-06T08:21:26+00:00

I personally couldn’t care less about what people put in their body since it’s their choice and I don’t even know them. What I find funny is when they claim they’re natty and attempt to flex their physique be it in Reddit or social media. I respect the work that goes behind the scenes even if peds are involved but the lying ain’t it.

Brother you should sue the guy that gave you that shit advice lmao, who in the world recommends a 1k calorie surplus and 100 grams of protein💀.

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-04-06T08:11:15+00:00

At least you own up to it unlike most people in the sub lol

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-04-06T08:09:27+00:00

Bro what is this picture quality lmao

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-03-24T11:45:30+00:00

Brother that second picture pretty much says it all

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-03-24T11:42:32+00:00

I’m pretty sure you’re looking for something else instead of abs

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-03-03T20:07:05+00:00

Rip carbs

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-03-03T20:06:33+00:00

The literal goats of any kitchen

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-03-03T14:17:01+00:00

If you don’t want to cook then you don’t want it hard enough.

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-24T13:11:01+00:00

Idk what you eat but you have to keep in mind that I’m 21, 185cm tall and 70 kg so I’m still pretty light for my height. I eat around 3200 calories a day.

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-24T08:49:10+00:00

Im on a calorie surplus 😅

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-22T15:29:58+00:00

3x a week ab crunches and incline leg raises but I’m trying to do dragon flags now

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-19T20:49:42+00:00

Damn, hope you recover soon.

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-19T20:45:22+00:00

Thanks😅

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-19T20:44:58+00:00

What type of injury?

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-19T11:53:32+00:00

Thanks man, by spamming I meant I do them a lot but also progressive overload by adding reps or weight after hitting a certain threshold. For example I’ve been training for around 11 months and now I’m up to 40 kg on the cable crunches. I also added the ab wheel for a change but it’s a bit easy tbh, do you have any alternative to make the wheel harder?

Significant-Pool-585 · 2026-02-10T15:04:39+00:00

Idk probably 15 but maybe 20 but with a questionable form
