Majority of those people who go in for sport, know that abdominal exercises must be done with 50, 100, 200 and even 250 repetitions. It is called sets. When the sportsmen have motivation, they can achieve even better results. Everything is possible. But there are also other opinions concerning this theme and some specialists are sure that good results can not be achieved with abdominal exercises. The reasons are described below.
Such approach is worthless if you have a desire to achieve six pack abs. Many people are sure that muscles will be heavy and will grow better in the case of medium repetition (8-12 sets and more). Are you ready to train your chest muscles using 3 sets of 200 repetitions? Majority of people will answer positive. The same situation is with your abdominal muscles. If you want have six pack abs and have a desire to show them, be ready to train.
During the exercises you have to increase the amount of sets and weight. If you do not know how to do it, I will explain you. Choose different positions and change them. Below three main arm positions are described. With the help of such positions you will make exercises more effective and harder.
1. Arms along sides. It is the easiest variant.
2. Arms are closed on the chest. It is more difficult.
3. Hands must be behind your head.
4. Arms are overhead. It is difficult variant, but you can also use extra weights.
5. Arms are closes on your chest with external resistance (for example, heavy book).
For example, if you will start your training with the first position, you can use the second or any other positions during the other sets. It will be very effective. Such changing will increase the difficulty of training process.
