Greetings, I知 curious to know how often do you guys train your abs. I usually get people saying you値l work them through compound moves such as squats, deadlifts, etc.

Thanks

I work them out 3 times a week with a day or so in between. Abs are similar to your neck and your calves, you really have to train them more often and a bit differently from most body parts to have progressive overload.

Also make sure you are hitting each part of the abs (upper, lower, and obliques)

2-3 times a week. Intensity varies according to current fitness level. For example, at peak shape I generally do around 250 crunches and 100 leg raises per session without too much trouble bearing in mind I have to save energy to jump rope and work the mitts in the same hour. When building up fitness though, we sometimes only push out 100 crunches and 100 leg raises. Gotta agree with TcBender that three times is ideal and that adding in oblique work adds an extra dimension.

Same here, 3 times per week or every other day. usually try to vary the exercises so I'm not doing the same thing every session

Great, thanks to all, always appreciated, a tip that may be known already to you guys is that some lower back activity could be incorporated in your routine towards abdominal work.

I train them directly once per week. I would advise the average boxing trainee to begin by training them directly twice per week using two exercises: 1) (or something similar) and 2) (or something similar). Each exercise should be performed slowly and smoothly to momentary muscular failure. As with all exercises, careful record keeping is essential to make sure that one is using the appropriate training frequency, set duration, etc.; some people can thrive on training a muscle group daily, some people need over a week to recover; some people progress more quickly with sets lasting 20-40 seconds, others with sets lasting 2-3 times as long, and so on.
