whats your training routine

Because of people like yourself who believe it's necessary.

He was a bodybuilder... on steroids... what's your point?

No. By my logic my calf muscles are hit by squats and deadlifts and don't need more work...

Who's "they". I've never heard anyone say your able to work your abs 7 days a week. Your abs are a muscle group the same as any other and should be trained the same. If you trained them every day when would they recover?

And you can work any muscle group 2-3 times a week , maybe more depending on what you're training for.

Individuals who have "skinny people abs" are "skinny fat" they don't have much muscle mass anywhere nevermind their abs. I can guarantee the guy doing deadlifts and squats will have better abs than some skinny guy who just does situps and crunches.

If you train and eat right it isn't that difficult to achieve.

 

Virus...I don't have any reason to argue. People do have different routines, and believe certain things. Also, some people respond differently to different types of workouts.
My only question is...Since your so knowledgable about acheiving perfect abs, calf muscles, etc...are yours that incredible? People can talk about what they've done, what they accomplished, what works, but you can easily look at somebody and tell if there right or not. Same way with people saying there so tough, badass, etc. Put them on a heavy bag, and there one of the sloppiest people you've ever seen that you'd EAT! So, what I'm asking is could I physichally look at you, and be like *that guy knows what he's doing!* I could easily upload a pic of myself, and prove that whatever I'm doing...It must be working.
Again, not saying my way is perfect, or 100% right...but that apparently my routine doesn't hurt.

 

I said doing deadlift and squats will make your abs stonger than doing situps and crunches.

Why do you keep going on about calf muscles?

The point I gave was squats and deadlifts make your core stonger than situps and crunches.

You've just gone off on a whole load of irrelevant BS in the past few posts.

 

I wouldn't disagree that doing heavy squats/ deadlifts wouldn't work your abs better than situps/ crunches, but don't see why that would be a reason to not do crunches/ situps. Honestly you could just do bench, rows, deadlifts, and squats (they work the best, and are compound exercises), but I'm sure you still do curls, military presses, etc. Besides, how many times a week do you deadlift? Your only suppose to work your lower back once a week (deadlifts work your lower back).
Again, no offense to your workout routine (because it does work for what you want) I just feel as though I have to do a little more to get better results. Instead of just doing Deadlifts/ squats I add in calf raises, and abs to that.

 

Monday-Boxing at morning, weights at evening

Tuesday- Cardio either running o swimming or playing basketball then weights at night.

Wednesday- Boxing at morning, weights at evening

Thursday- Same as Tuesday

Friday- Boxing at morning, then a game of Basketball in the evening

Saturday- Weights and Cardio(swimming, running, basketball) or I can go boxing on this day depending on my mood.

Sunday- Off

But when Im training for a fight, I try to go at least 4x a week with 2 days off. And I also decrease my weight lifting.

 

Pretty much nothing since I damaged my knee a m onth back. Very disapointing.

 

I didn't say don't do situps and crunches. I said deadlifts and squats will create a stronger core.

My routine is pretty simple -

Horizontal Push - Bench press or pushup variation
Horizontal Pull - Row variation
Vertical Push - Overhead press variation
Vertical Pull - Pull/chinups or lat pulldown
Quad Dominant - Squat variation
Hip Dominanat - Deadlift variation

The last time I done curls was about 5 years ago when I worked out chinups are far more effective.

Where did you get this "work your lower back once a week" BS? You could easily do heavy conventional deadlifts Monday, romanian deadlifts Wednesday then good mornings Friday without a problem.

That's down to you.

 

Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks. Im not a fan of routines. I hit whatever body part tickles my fancy but do work all groups equally ensuring good form explosive workouts and a good diet. Keeping it simple is the key as well as training for the sport that you compete in.

 

I switch up my routines pretty frequently.

Earlier this year I worked up to:
Muay thai 3x a week, 3 hours a session (sparring, pad work, bag work everyday); the Saturday session being a lot of crossfit-inspired "Combat Conditioning" w/sandbags, sledgehammer, and stuff.
Two times a week I would do a total-body free weight workout with different goals each 6 week "period" and usually with some sprint intervals to start things off.

A couple weeks ago I started a routine that'll probably be my foundation that I build around & modify until October:
Swimming for 1 to 1.5 hours every weekday morning at 5:30am
Lifting weights 3 times a week with a coworker - try to hit total body if shoulders allow; warm up with some sprint intervals.
Muay Thai after weights with the same coworker - 3 rounds shadow, 3 rounds jump rope, 3 rounds bag, hold pads for 3 rounds

For my current routine, I think I'll "bite the bullet" financially and go back to the muay thai gym on saturdays. I'm trying to keep my focus on losing weight through swimming and saving my body some wear & tear; but I don't want my skill to totally fall off. Will probably have to work up to going back to the muay thai gym though, coz what I'm already doing is pretty much kicking my a$$. Not only that, but I'd like to be swimming twice a day at least a couple days a week.

On the weekends, even if I don't go to the gym, I'm usually doing something outdoors at least one of the days. Last saturday I went toobin down the Comal river w/ my girl.

 

And it's not as if squats work your lower back.
or any other posterior chain assistance.
