Featured Workout: Abdominal Obliteration: 5/10/2012

Abdominal Obliteration

We all want a four pack or a six pack, but what most don't realize is that you have to have a combination of diet, cardio, and of course abdominal training. Here is a great exercise session created by Scott Herman that you can add to help you get that abdominal definition that you are wishing for. It is a quick workout that uses the 2-2-4 (concentric-isometric-eccentric) contraction tempo method that is great for training eccentrically and isometrically. This workout will target your rectus abdominis, transverse, and oblique muscle groups.

Exercises:
Abs pull down
bosu ball crunch
suspended leg raises
standing oblique cable press
stomach vacuum

Progression:
2 supersets
2 sets per superset
12 reps per exercise (using the 2-2-4 tempo)
60 sec max rest in between sets
followed by 4 sets of 30 sec holds for the stomach vacuum
