Focus To achieve ripped abs you need to start with a plan and then stay focused on your plan. Working out just three to five days a week you will see results. To achieve the ripped abs you want stick to a plan that includes “circuit training” including bench presses, military presses, bicep and leg curls, rowing, back extensions, squats and dead lifts.
Abs First Start every workout with your abs. By engaging your abs first they stay engaged throughout the whole workout. You are also freshest at the beginning of your workout therefore whatever you do first you a likely to work the hardest. Abs first; then move onto the rest of your workout.
Tax Your Muscles to the Max For ideal results your exercise sets need to consist of 10 to 12 reps per set at a weight that is easy at the start but by the end is a challenge to lift. Do not hurt yourself; it may take a few sets to find your ideal weight to lift. Remember, once you find the ideal weight to lift, every two to three weeks you need to increase the weight. Your muscles will get used to lifting that weight and you need to keep pushing your muscles.
Rest to Repair Once you have worked your muscles they need to rest and repair. It is ideal to lift weights every other day. When you weight train you are actually breaking down, fatiguing or ‘injuring’ the muscle. It is important that your muscles have a day to repair before they are fatigued again; thus becoming bigger and stronger.
Good Nutrition and Plenty of Sleep A diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetable, lean protein from chicken and beef, fish and omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and complex carbohydrates coupled with plenty of sleep are important to obtaining ripped abs. A good diet is the necessary fuel and ample sleep provides the body a chance to repair itself. If you struggle to get enough calories reach for a meal replacement, shake not junk food.
