The Most Common Myths About Abs
Myth #1
Abdominal muscle is different from regular muscle.
Your abdominal muscles are just like every other muscle in your body. The abdominal is different only in location and unlike biceps or quads they don’t rest on a bony surface. So you should train them the same way you would train, say, your biceps or your chest. The fundamental laws of physiology apply to all your muscles, incorporating your abs. This means that you need to do exercises in the right plane of movement to effectively work the muscle.
Myth #2
You need to train your abs every day.
The rules of weight training state that you should give your muscles at the least, a day of rest to recover and this applies to your abs as well. Instead of working your back every day, do them every other day or even just three times a week. They need a break just like the rest of your body. The trick is to train them hard.
Myth #3
Doing ab exercises gets rid of abdominal fat.
There's no such thing as spot reduction. People assume that if you have fat deposits on your abdominal, exercising the muscles underlying the fat will make it go away. But they assume wrong. You can’t get rid of the fat over a muscle by frequently exercising that body part. The only way to burn fat from your tummy is through prolonged exercise and a healthy, low calorie diet.
Myth #4
High repetitions are required to make gains.
As you’ve read earlier, abs are just like every other muscle in your body. Which means, you should train your abs the same way as the rest of your muscle groups. To make strength gains with your abs, you need to overload your muscles.
Myth #5
Anybody can have a flat stomach.
For many individuals it’s not physiologically probable to attain a flat stomach. In most of us the abdominal muscles are designed to be somewhat rounded, not flat. Age, genetics, gender all these factors decide the size, shape and appearance of you belly.
Myth #6
If you have a bad back, training the abs will worsen it.
Training your abs will strengthen you back. The opposing muscles in you body always assist each other. So if you have weak ab muscles, the load of the work falls on the back. So strengthen the abs and your back will become stronger as well.
Don’t waste time by falling victim to six main ab myths. Train intelligently in accordance with scientifically based training methods and get super abs.
