We all want a shredded six pack and in order to get one, we need to hit our abs hard. However, a lot of people take the wrong approach when it comes to abs and do 50 reps thinking that more is better. My abs are just like my biceps, quadriceps, or triceps; and all muscles respond best to a 6-20 rep range depending on the type of muscle fibers in the area I'm training. When it comes to abs, they have a combination of fast twitch and slow twitch fibers and will respond best to about the 12 to 15 rep range. Here is a sample workout routine to perform that will give you a ripped midsection consisting of 5 sets:

Set 1 through 3 – Hanging wipers to failure, ending with front leg raises to reach the 12 to 15 rep range if needed
Set 4- Alternating knee decline bench sit ups
Set 5- Regular decline bench sit ups

Note: Take 60 seconds rest between each set and

Blast these sets out after squats or dead lifts (which are the 2 biggest muscle recruiting exercises you can do) doing 5 sets of 12 to 15 reps with same amount of rest. Intensity and achieving absolute failure will yield the maximum results.  Sometimes I only do abs once a week, but the maximum times to train abs is 3 days a week with at least one day rest in between workouts.

Working out your abs will help you build up the muscular tissue in your abdominals. However, the only way to see ripped abs is if you remove the fatty tissue surrounding it. You need to be under 10% body fat in order to see a six-pack. That means that ab training really is a systemic process in terms of training your entire body, eating a healthy diet conducive to staying lean, and creating the proper anabolic hormonal environment within your body (increasing the production of testosterone and natural growth hormone). MP45 is a program designed exclusively by Muscle Prodigy that details an entire 45 day plan for you to remove that fatty tissue and have your abs looking the best they've ever looked.
