How can you get bigger muscles/abs?

Question

Yes I know, duh, exercising and lifting weights. It's been working, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

I've heard that a lot of weight does it, but then I heard that lots of reps and lower weight does it. How about some of the muscular guys give me their input.--p.s. I take the max x*x protein daily.

Finally, I really want to try to get better abs. I don't eat any sugars and walk about 30 minutes a day, not to mention my daily weight lifting exercise. I do crunch exercises only about 2-3 times a week. Should I start to do it daily?

Answer 1

10 situps

10 V-ups (Touch your hands to your toes, but crunch your body so that they meet midway in the air)

10 lemon squeezers (Position yourself sitting up, put hands at side, and move your torso back into a laying position while extending your legs straight ahead. Now just row your legs to a bend while crunching toward them w/ your torso, then go back to laying position. repeat process)

10 back hypers (lay on stomach, basically a reverse cruncher)

10 Leg lifts (Lay on back, lift straight legs to 45 degree angle, then bring back to ground)

30 seconds of bicycles (Lay on ground, and mimick a bicycle pedal motion w/ your legs)

10 side crunchers each side

10 regular crunchers

30 seconds of flutter kicks (Lay on back, keep both legs straight. Lift them up bairly, now alternate between raising each leg a little bit and brining it back down. This one is tought at first, but after a week it will be easy. Try to think of being a swimmer while doing this one)

10 kick ups (Lay down, bring knees up toward chest, then kick legs upward to become straight in the air.)

10 side double leg lifts (Hard to explain, basically lay on side, and lift both legs simultaneously as high as you can. Will feel weird at first)

10 Forward Rows (Way too hard to explain, google it)

10 Russian Twists (Google it)

10 Scissor Kicks (Lay on back, spread leags apart in air, bring them back to center with one leg above the other, then alternate to mimick a scissor kicking action)

Finish with a bridge for however long you think you can do it.

Once this routine becomes easy, don't up the reps, just do the whole routine twice. (Left a few out for explanation's sake)

Then also do your run at night. Cut excessive fat out of your diet, but you can have a little still.

Do it and you will have some abs

but remember...this exercise will not work if your diet is not good...

you must cut out all BAD fat and ALL SUGARS!!maybe not natural sugars but no fruit juice such as apple,orange juice...just try hard and you will get there..

try to eat lots and lots of more protein.workout man.

that's the only way to get big.

try doing 3-4 sets of 10 reps.this will get you pretty big...but don't worry it's not going to get you HUGE overnight...this takes time...

have any more ?'s email me

As for gaining bigger muscles..

Answer 2

It's called workout.  

Answer 3

Daily won't hurt if done reasonably BUT rest is where the body does the changes. So, rest, sometimes.

Remember: genetics plays a HUGE part in abs and if your genetics dictates one type of abs, that is what you get.

AND a variety of ab work may help, too.

Answer 4

besides all the specific ab workouts you should do make sure you are actually eating healty. cuz even a thin layer of fat on your stomach will hide your abs

Answer 5

depends what kind of muscles you want. if you want big bulky muscles do a lot of weight low reps, if you want toned muscles do low weight high reps. hope that helps
