How Many Times a Week?

Training Bodybuilding
1

My weekly work out routine involves
monday, chest
tuesday, arms (bicep, tricep and forearms)
wednesday, legs
thursday, shoulders and traps
friday, back

I do abs usually 3 days a week, mon wed and fri.

My question is should i do calf workouts three days a week also, ive read that they heal quicker so their able to be worked more often. And what kind of ab workouts do you guys do. Ive been doing weighted sit ups holding the Db at my neck. And leg raisers on parallel bars.

Is their a good alternative to weighted sit ups that doesnt put strain on your lower back. (remembering i dont want to do 1000’s of reps). Cheers for replies

In order for your abs to grow you need to stress them, i used to just do flat crunches now i do decline bench crunches works the abs more and better than normal crunches becasue your at a decline its like your using weight anyway.

2-3 sets 2 times a week for abs is enough in my opinion, you must remember abs are also a muscle and you dont want to overtrain them.

Depends how much you train them on the 3days, how many sets etc.
