Six Pack Abs In A Fraction Of The Time

Fitness trainers generally teach that the abdominals help to support and stabilize your spine, and thus, they should never be fatigued prior to performing non ab exercises such as squats, pressing or rowing exercises. Based on the abs role as a stabilizer, the whole fitness world insists that you must ALWAYS perform your abdominal training at the end of your workout.

The problem is that this training philosophy goes against one of the most basic workout truths: the Priority Principle. This principle simply states that what gets trained first will get the best training effect. Why would this principle work for every other body part in the human body except your abs?

What if your abs are your weakest body part? What if getting six pack abs happens to be your number one priority? In these cases, they should be trained at the beginning of your workout when you are in your freshest state.

So I suggest this alteration to your workout: if abs are your priority, work them out first! This simple adjustment in training sequence will make a huge difference in your results. You will have much greater focus when working your abs, and be able to put forth a significantly better effort while training them, since you will be totally fresh. If you are used to just throwing in a couple of abdominal sets at the end of your workout, you will literally double your rate of progress towards developing your six-pack.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, priority abdominal training will also provide you with a great warm up for the rest of your workout. The only exception to this rule is when you are truly training with maximal weights. Doing anything that could have any residual fatigue prior to a maximal weight workout would be undesirable.

Try this exercise sequencing technique and get great ab development in half the time! As Stephen Covey says, "Put First Things First".
