Okay, so I have been doing sets of 150-200 situps.
100: Reverse Crunces (2 sets of 50)
100: Swiss Ball Crunces (2 sets of 50)
Then finally a burnout with crunches.
Now It’s really wierd, I used to be really overweight, but i lost a lot of weight because i grew (height) wise and the weight just expanded with my height. But when i stand up there is not really any fat on my stomach. But when i sit down i have like 3 rolls of fat on my stomach. Is this possible to get rid of? Is the plan that im doing good? Will i see progression? I’m also bulking up right now for football season.
I do cardio workouts 5x a week:
2x days a week: i do up hill sprints 10 of them
3x days a week: Im doing a program called “Air Alert 3” for basketball. It gives me a GREAT sweat and workout.
So is what im doing going to get me a six pack…or no?
In a word…no. If you can do 200 reps, you either have horrible form, or the exercise is too easy – my guess is it’s both. Do yourself a favor and start doing ass-to-floor front and back squats – they’re the best ab exercise I can think of.
Getting a six pack comes from having low body fat %. To get a low BF you must stay on a strict diet. If you are bulking you probably won’t be able to maintain a very low BF%.
This is all assuming you actually have any abdominals to show off in the first place.
Doing a massive volume of ab work will not give you a six pack, well developed abdominal muscles, good genetics, and a low body fat will.
I prefer weighted variation ab exercises for <20 reps.
Search on here for an article on the serrates crunch, or any other weighted ab exercise.
We could also use more information on you, height/weigth/age/goals/body fat?
Going into football season on a bulking diet while doing a bunch of sprints and a boat load of ab work is going to be very inefficient at: building muscle, getting leaner, preparing efficiently for football, and getting a six pack.
And being overweight previously means you might have some loose skin, skin that folds up a little when you sit down. This happens.
Jerry, you may not realize it, but starting twelve threads about how to get a six pack and get swole is excessive. You should read some articles so that you can answer your own damn questions.
I recommend starting with the beginner’s stickies. They’re at the top of the beginner’s forum.

Oh jesus, stop right there! I was just like you when I started training, but let me give you a little advice on bodywieght crunches, don’t do them.
To achieve six pack abs, you must work your abdominal area from 3 directions. A massive amount of cardio, which it sounds like you are getting by the way thumbs up, a build up of mussel in the abdominal area, and a nasty ass diet.
If you want an extra edge, I suggest also making sure to work major mussel groups as opposed to isolation.
Ab training is, in my opinion, the most exact science in all of weight training. If youn would like to get an exact training program, just ask and I’ll give you a killer ab program.
