TweetWOW! What's up?? Are you trying to out work me on ABS now? I must need to step it up or bring the 'Jaws of Life' out with me to see you.

Tweethaha, i only hit abs about 3-5wks out from competing and then maybe once a week the rest of the time. the bad part about hammering your abs is that it puts a ton of stress on you cns and when dialing down or lifting heavy in the off season it could set you up to get sick hurt or over train. not to mention i worked with a pro a few years ago and he had me doing abs 4 days a wk and the rep ranges went any where between 4-8 sets of 50 to 4-8 sets of 100. needless to say i added about 4in to my waist because they grew and i just got my waist back down to 32 at showtime last year. that's a huge difference for me

TweetI'll keep that in mind but Rake ain't buying that he says just suck them in when you work them. I always have the hard way to go. Gotta love it.
Tweethaha, i guess it would work for a lady because you arent pushing the amounts of food supps and moving the weights that i do. not to mention for some reason mine grow as good or better than my legs do

Tweetgreat workout! getting down to the last few workouts brotha. gotta get the most out of them!
keep it up!
JUST TO BIG TO LISTEN TO YOU!!!!
Tweetyeah man, i been looking at that and next week is going to be completely restructured going into the show. looks like 10 days of straight training with the last 3 being nothing but upper body pumping. i am game planning in my head right now but i havent ironed it out entirely just yet. i will have a better feel after my 2 high carb days. i will say that my knees are freaking killing me which always happens when i am super low bodyfat. only get that pain around 4% so without doing my caliper readings i would say i am already there by appearance in the am and how my body is feeling. that added in halo has my strength through the roof but i know better than to push to far. i could feel it today so i pulled back and just focused mainly on squeezing the crap out of everything with a heavy but comfortable weight.

Tweet4%????? wow yeah id say your there! what does your water/sodium/cab manipulation look like the week going into the show
JUST TO BIG TO LISTEN TO YOU!!!!
Tweeti will cut all external sodium 6 days out and not put it back in at all. i get plenty of sodium from the turkey which is about my limit. i will start to overload water next saturday at 4 gal and taper all the way down to 1/2 gal one day out and then just 4oz with each meal. or if i am dry as i have been which i dont see it changing i will continue to push 2 and a half gals till weds then 2 thurs and 1 and half friday with 25mg of dyazide before bed. that has worked well in the past but i will have to play that one by look and feel going into next weekend. after consulting with my trusted tweak advisor and how i am looking through the carb cycle we are going to roll with it. it will be 400 sun 400 mon 200 tues 200 weds 100 thrus get up friday and have 50 and take a look by the end of the day. if i am dry and filled in then that will be the cut off if not i will have another 50g with my final meal and continue to dry out. i did a trial run last week and another this week so i will know for sure tomorrow how i look dry with this plan
i will put up in my log exactly what i am doing and how i do it as i go. it is a good reference for me to look back on and may get the wheels turning for some other people getting ready as well. my training breakdown will also change up next week as well with my last leg session going to the end of the week and i will hit back two times in the week as well. early of course and at the end. then nothing but upper body pumping for the last few days

TweetI have been trying to sneak over here and ask you what is the cns all day and Rake keeps catching me. He is non negotiable on the abs but I really want a small waist. Now he's watching like a hawk today to make sure I was crunching. Does that cns have to do with lower back?? Is that why mine is killing me? I have to come over and hide on your thread to even get a word in on this
Tweetlol, well your lower back is probably killing you because your abs are becoming stronger than your lower back. this can cause an imbalance and will make your lower back hurt all of the time. cns is your central nervous system. think it about this way, all of your vitals are located in your ab area so they are constantly working be it digesting food keeping you upright etc.... then when you train it over and over and over again with high reps on top of all the other work it does it stress your cns. this in turn can make you sick over trained and also as they adapt to the stimulus they grow. so for most people 1-3 times a week of ab work is plenty. what most people do is just pump away rep after rep after rep which yes does work the muscle but you can effectively do the same thing with far less reps and sets. all you have to do is focus on the stretch and contraction just like your bicep or other muscle. your stretch is at the bottom and when you hit the peak contraction you exhale out every bit of air that's in your lungs and squeeze the abs as hard as you can for 1-3 secs. then back to the stretch. 10-20 reps is plenty for 4-6 sets for upper and the same for lower. now i am not bull headed in thinking that their are people that can hammer away with tons of reps and sets and their abs not grow but for most people over time they will begin to get bigger

TweetThanks, now I have to go back into hiding and bring this up when we see you.
Tweetit's all good. if you guys had time i could run you guys through a couple sessions of legs back and ab training my way. then you wouldnt need to do as much lol trust me, i have made people throw up quit and both. i had one partner for a while that would get sick doing legs and back every time and that was even if he didnt eat anything before. cracked me up but then again i do it to myself on occasion also
