Overtrain of abs?

[og512]

I've been told that the abs are hard muscle group to work and require a lot of patience and hardwork.

With that being said, is it possible to do too much ab work. I am not trying to get a chisled midsection but I am trying to shed the stomach. Is doing ab work everyday too much? How often should I do abs?

The same as any other muscle...you shed fat off them you need to reduce your overall bodyfat percentage.

If you are doing good compound movements with proper form you really don't even need to train the abs directly, however if you do train them, twice a week is really all you need.

And yes they wont show unless you have low body fat.

2-3 times a week of Abdominal Workout is sufficient.

Low Body Fat < 10 % is ideal for definition of midsection
