Lower Abs

No you cant shed fat from specific area and there is no such thing as 'lower' abs.

 

What he said. Just keep burning off the fat and the lower part of your abs will become visible.

 

It means that you can't train your lower or upper ab, just your ab as a whole. It's like training your upper bicep, it can't be done. It doesn't really apply as you weren't asking for specific lower ab routines, you were asking about spot reduction (shedding fat in a specific place). Which is just as impossible

 

All in the diet man

 

Dont know any secrets, but i can tell you i do have a well defined 6 pack ( how gay is this lol) . And i just work hard , do the same boxing exercises that are always discussed on this board and TRY to eat right.

Thing is i can honestly say i dont do it for looks i do exercises that will help my boxing ( looks are just a nice bonus lol)

Keep at it!:good

 

Very true, i am more or less doing the same sort of training i always have but in the last 6 weeks i have cleaned my diet up. I am seeing results physically and mentally as i feel much better and confident within myself now.

 

1 put in 77 crunches over the course of a day

that's how i have washboard abs, and how i earned my nickname :deal

 

You can do leg raises apparently to assist in making them more prominent.

 

Not strictly true. Of course you cant spot loose weight. BUT you can work your core with specific excercises. Working your core targets your lower abdominals than it will the top part of your abs. Remember the Diaphragm/abdominals and surrounding muscles are a large sheet of muscle. Its important to compliment that with lower back exercises as well.

Conversely you can work diffrent portions of your biceps. Builders use diffrent excercises all the time to hit diffrent parts of the bicep. IE if your seperation is poor you can use cables to work your peak and middle of the bicep. Using the EZ bar you can do 21's for the top middle and bottom of the biceps. But to be honest you'll only see hardcore gym rats and pro's doing that.

 

:thumbsup They'll increase your core strength but you wont see them more prominent. Abs only become more prominent as you loose fat. The lower your BF the more prominent your muscle ratio will be.

 

Get on the rowing machine. Awesome for the abs glutes calves arms traps and back. Rowing works a TON of muscles all at the same time.
