Hi there, I have been trying out Abs training by doing sit-ups

it has been done for 1 week, i find it very difficult to train on the next day literately which is facing serious pain in my stomach.

may i know is there any solution for this?

Get some rest for 2 days. Start again but baby steps. Increase intensity and reps as you improve.

is it abdominal muscle pain or is it stomach pain?
if abdominal muscle pain. then its normal. You are suffering from DOMS. give it a rest for a few days before continuing.
if its stomach pain. better get it checked. Most people train after heavy meals ended up with an actual health problem. (pankreatic ulcers, etc). no one should train immediately after meals. should have at least 1 hour rest before the actual workout.

Uhmm...don't do sit ups?

thats the point for doing situp or any muscle training...


to induce damages for new and thicker muscle to develop....

:adore:

hi there, i feel like its some sort of muscle pain that im suffering from. is it ok if i still doing it on the next day with the pain added on?

i would actually recommend against it. It will cause a reverse effect. Instead of building bigger muscles, you may end up with a shunken muscle due to severe muscle tissue damage.

i would say its ok to continue 2 days training and rest 1 day after that.....then only continue the next day

thanks, i might try working out for 2 days, rest for a day and continue there after

TS, just asking, what are you trying to achieve by doing these situps exercise? Crunches would be much better that sit-ups IMO

Everyone wanted a hard rocking 6 packs abs. Make sure to read stickies bout 6 packs.

+1
Cruches + leg raises are easier, and better

why don't just dieting?i heard it work wonders for your abs

Don't forget to do other core exercises other than sit up..

dun do situp, crunches is better since situp only work ur abs until certain limit and no matter how high u go, it still work the same part of ur abs n not other parts of the abs d (correct me if im wrong). it hurts the 1st few days but as u keep doing, u wont hurt anymore.

best solution, REST.

Better get some rest as your muscle need to calm down

crunchy

thank you, i will start trying out about crunches!

which way work better for abs anyway?

What are you looking to gain by doing these?

if u wan 6 packs, u need to reduce bodyfat 1st, do more cardio burn more calories n consume less calories. and u need different abs workout for different core, u need more than crunches alone.

trying to gain some abs

Okay, I'll let the rest of sifus here to do it..

seriously, work your other muscles as well.

main thing is reduce bodyfat% diet + weighted workouts + short-nonstop-intense abs workouts (5-10mins)

cardio only deplete your energy + muscle mass loss

yes footballers r strong. if u can differentiate between lean body n muscular body maybe u can see.. footballers r more to lean (so many cardio their bf% is so low), they dont have the 'thickness'

one thing about before weight.. try to search up for more infos. what i got from many source is that u only need to warm up your body before weight but not run for 20mins. cardio will only bring your energy down, then u cant lift to your full potential

always do cardio AFTER lifting.

mind explain a bit more? how long?

He's actually skinny by a lot of Sifu's standard. I would also only call him a fit guy.

Here's another athlete, NFL player. Very strong, very agile, a lot of sprinting power.
