Regardless of who you are and what you do, everyone will hit a plateau in their six pack abs workout! Everything is going well, you have established some great results when all of the sudden you aren't gaining strength, you aren't losing fat, and you just don't think you are looking better. Why does this happen? Why do you hit a plateau and seem to get stuck in it?
It occurs because of lack of change, YES that is right! A lack of change in your workout plan is the direct cause of this plateau. You need to change up the way that you work out from time to time. Many people stick to the same regiment time after time again, same cardio, same weight training and so on and so forth.
I want to show you how to change up the normal and regular routines to gain the most from your workout and learn how to develop those six pack abs.
Most people are under the assumption that they should simply change the weight and amount of reps they do for a certain workout. That isn't the case, consider changing the workouts and adding some change into your routine, here is how.
Consider changing the order of your exercises, the exercise grouping (tri-sets, circuit training, super-setting, etc.), change the exercise type (multi-joint or single, free weight vs machine), the number of exercises per workout, the amount of resistance, stability workouts, the volume, the type of rest periods between sets. I could go on and on, but don't you see how many different variables there are to change?
A personal trainer or a specific e-book could help get you thousands of other ideas based upon who you are and what you want and are looking to accomplish. Here are some ideas to spice up your workouts and get out of the normal routine.
- Try using heavier weight and complete 6 sets of 6 reps, with a 3 minute treadmill sprint in between each weight lifting set.
- Try 10 sets of 3 with a middle to medium weight level, resting only 20 seconds between each set.
- Try doing drop sets of all your exercises, this is where you drop the weight between each set and keep doing repetitions without any rest until you are completely fatigued.
- Try completing five 30 minute workouts one week, followed by three 1 hour workouts the next week.
- Try using a lighter weight than you are normally used to and do 1 set of 50 reps for each exercise.
This is only the basics of some of the ideas I present in my Abs Workout Homepage. Be sure to check it out!
