They need time to rest and can be over trained like any other muscle so give them time to rebuild if you want them to grow. -------------- Anything is better than nothing so get off your ass and do something!!!

Still, I would never train them more than 5x a week. Also, remember one of the cardinal rules of training, never train a sore muscle. -------------- \"I get up in the morning around six to run for about an hour. Later in the day, I lift with a partner.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
INTRUDER Posts: 642 Joined: 2002/06/27	2004/02/02, 01:31 PM Yes, I try to train my abs 5-6 days a week, but only with heavy weight resistance 3 days a week. The seated natilus machine is 1 of my favorites, I go as heavy as I can for 15-20 reps, at least 3 sets. And then go 2 the slant board and use a 25lb plate. Folowed by a few hanging leg raises, and hang n side raises. The off days I do some tapes just 4 abs like ty bo, and Tony L. I also do lots off diff veriations crunches, rockies,and sometimes use a ball, u name it. During the supperbowl my wife did 1000 crunches on the exersize ball while watch n the game. Do you think shes sick? If she is, well she sure looks good. -------------- "Get everthing you want--just make a little change now"

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/02/14, 09:19 AM Resist the urge to train them constantly. No more than 3 times per week is optimal, with resistance, 2-4 different exercises, not a thousand. Training them any other time whether you use weight or not is nonsense, it will get you nowhere. At best all it will do is burn some calories, and at worst they will be overtrained and will not grow. You will never see that coveted "six pack". -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
