hi all, just need a critique to make sure im making best use of my time and not wasting hours in the gym for nothing. just a bit concern about my ab workout.
i use a flat bench and place a weight between my feet. i then 'crunch' my knees up to my chest.
i saw someone else do this and it feels like a good workout on the stomach. i also do the leg lifts whilst holding my self up on the dip frame, and reverse crunches on a flat bench with a swiss ball between my legs. and also (god im boring myself now) get in the press up position with my feet on a swiss ball and roll in inwards, pushing my knees to my chest.
BUT
i have reasonably well defined side/bottom muscle (brad pitt, fight club etc etc) and the '4 pack' but the bottom. i know i still have some body fat to go (im around 15% but that HAS to be my ass) but am i doing enough to concentrate work outs on my lower abs?
im currently doing 3-4 weight sessions a week, broken up so there is 48 rest for each muscle group, and 3-4 cardio (including 2 HIIT) + football training and matches. my diet is clean apart from a 'cheat weekend' (bit like a cheat meal or day but with a lot more guilt).
should i keep plugging along with my workout, or switch to something more calory-burning intensive, like circuit training. however i could only do that 3 times per week + football so am concerned i would not be doing enough resistance work to keep muscle tone and build definition.
why are the main target areas (ass/abs) always the hardest to see the results on?? sigh....
