Stop being a bitch and do more jumping around like your friend Tony Horton.

No need for anything weighted. Hanging leg raises and intense bouts of cardio.

Oh and if you still eat dairy, stop. Especially milk.

Get a friend to punch you in the stomach while you tighten up.



This also works on your face muscles.

This is all I use. Ripped me up to shreds.


Seriously though, abs are made in the kitchen. I recently cut about 15lbs and low and behold I have a six pack now.

Abs are made at the table, not in the gym.

Ab definition is largely genetic on top of that.

SO - you have to have the proper genetics, first and foremost. Second, even with good genetics, you're going to have to restrict carbs and get a fairly low bodyfat composition - the break point, for most men, is about 15% or so before they become visible (again, genetics may make that a little easier for some).

Finally, even with good genetics and low bodyfat, you may have to dehydrate during a cut phase to get aesthetically pleasing abdominal definition.

And, unless your living requires this (modeling, acting, bodybuilding or physique competition) it is simply not worth it.

Deadbugs and deadbug variations.

If you do them correctly, they are great.

Builds a ton of trunk stability, also awesome to do before squats/deads.

Real answer, 3 months of serious sprint workouts.

Not crossfit, not some stupid HIIT, gym bro workout, but competition (obviously scaled down) level workouts. If you pair this with a good diet you won't have a problem. Drawback, you probably won't hit any max numbers in the gym while doing it.

Get on a flat bench... That you would use for dumbell bench. Get a 25 or so plate, with a 10 to 15 pound dumbell. Grab plate with hands and dumbell with feet. Bring plate all the way back and legs down to even with body at same time, then v up. You're welcome.

You have as many choices for weighted that you for non weighted.

Dumbbell crunches on stability ball
Kneeling Cable crunches
Weighted straight leg raises
Weighted Russian twists
Dumbbell Otis ups
Weighted planks
Cable wood choppers
Oak tree step outs
Weighted ab wheels

These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Google them if you don't recognize them. Don't be afraid to go heave either if you really want mass. Like 8-15 rep max heavy. Of course non of this matters if you aren't already low body fat.

As for those saying avoid milk and dairy. BS. I go through a gallon of milk a week. As long as it's skim and you stay out of a state of caloric excess while avoiding the shitty foods its fine in moderation.

Since you requested me...

Monday - using tricep rope, full extension crunches from on your knees. 60 reps
Tuesday - no weight straight leg lifts. 100 reps
Thursday - ab/crunch machine at gym with weights. 60 reps
Friday - repeat one from the previous day. 100 reps
**flexing abs every single rep**

Getting abs is only as good as the diet you are following.
Doing ab exercises will grow/tighten your abs, but if you don't diet and/or have too much fat in the way, you won't see them
