How To Build 3D Abs
According to Zenios, a lot of the time when people do their core workout, they don’t get the rep scheme and the intensity right.
He says that doing supersets of core exercise, or having 20-30 reps turns an ab exercise into a cardio routine which can build endurance, but not strength, hypertrophy and the look that most people want.
So check out Zenios’ answer to how to build 3D abs. You will be mostly doing reps in the 4-12 range and with added resistance. Here is the list:
- Standing Vacuum / Tabletop Vacuum
- Elevated Oblique Crunch / Hold
- Cable Chop
- Plank Crunch
- Rope Crunch
- Weighted Ball Crunch
- Plank On Two Balls
