So I want to build muscle in my abs. What would be good workout equip to buy that doesn't cost over lets say $600 that I can put in my garage? I have a treadmill and I have dumbells for my arms. I do run regularly and that I am toned, but I want to build some muscles in my abs. I don't mean I have to have a super looking six pack but I would like some muscle there to show off.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
What is good workout equip to buy for abs?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Lift heavy weights, remove carbs from your diet, and pick a sufficient cardio routine.
Barbell squats, overhead press, and conventional deadlifts are the best exercises you can do for abs.

Find a jiu jitsu school. BJJ full guard is great for abs.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I use a bosu ball (planks) $100 on sale, and shadow boxing in between.
Bosu ball builds muscle??

Abs is about losing fat. Building muscle actually makes ab aesthetics worse.

Like others are saying abs is 80% diet. Your gut is the first place your body adds fat and the last place it takes it away from. Reduce your body fat by either going keto or simply staying at a steady 500 calorie deficit.
Dragon flags and windshield wipers are the only two exercises you really need, and they require no equipment. Both have many progressions that you can work through.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Like I said it's really flat. I just want to be more toned and ripped in upper chest. Like the dude in the video. I need to build muscles in my arms too.

Go to a gym. Meet a trainer. Get 5 sessions to show you how to do the basic free weight lifts and Cardio. Use their equipment. Measure your arms, legs, waist and hips. Record those measurements. Work out for 3 months. Measure again. Adjust your program if you need more help in certain areas.
There is no one magic exercise. Do a variety. Obsess over your diet and exercise and give the women a rest....
I recommend this guy if you can find him....

Definitely look into a barbell squat program online if you have a gym membership. Only after being able to squat 300 lbs for reps did I start seeing lower ab (8 pack instead of 6) and oblique definition. Those kind of cuts make you look another kind of strong
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

How to Sprint Your Way to a 6-Pack - Breaking Muscle
Why Sprint Training Is the Best Abdominal Workout There are so many great abdominal workouts out there and in the gym that are based around resistance training, but very few of these will give you the same overall results for tone, fitness, explosivity, speed, and the physique that sprinting...

Do high quality hard sprints. You will get the result you want pretty quickly. Make sure to really stretch and warm up, make sure to push and not pull. The link will explain about the push vs pull. Do it every other day, until the visible fat is GONE, then do it two or three times a week and also consume some protein if your not already. I assume you also want to improve the upper body is why to back off a little so that some of the effort/recovery can be directed to upper.
I run about 6 miles a day, treadmill a lot of times and set the speed high and incline at 5. Like I said the abs on me are tight it's that I want more of the 6 pack like that trainer in the video! The guy in the videos bone structure and size is very similar to me with the only difference being the muscles he has.How to Sprint Your Way to a 6-Pack - Breaking Muscle

The dude in those videos is a good example How I'd want to look. Not like a gorilla like some of those ugly meat heads with the huge chest and arms.

Don't jog so much, it will just work your cardio and train you for marathon or long distance run. shorten it up and just do sets of sprints of maybe 100m. when you run, really run like hell. like a gazelle being chased by a tiger. Dig for everything. When you sprint hard, your entire core including abs will get worked, also your lower back to match as you want front and back to be similar strength. I don't know if you can do it on a tread mill, just use the street in front if you can.

Actually, if you REALLY want to improve your ads, the best way is to start threads and keep reading and replying to them, asking more questions, etc.
Doing that will build KILLER abs.
It turns out that typing a bunch of random stuff online, having a bunch of time killing conversations with a bunch of random internet people is the BEST WAY to achieve ANYTHING!
You can become an ego-free, super hero millionaire playboy layer of super models!
All you need to do is ask and respond and hairs split and posture and lecture and BOOM!
You're a super hero!
It turns out that slaying internet arguments is the same as slaying LIFE ITSELF!

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
