Got a question for ya guys..

[Chris23]

Just started lifting little more then a month ago. Man, I have definitely seen some great results by following some of the advice on here.

Got a question though. When it comes to working the abs how should I go about it. I'm a skinny guy and need to put a lot of food in my system everyday to grow. Currently I'm eating usually 5 good meals a day and everything is going well.

I would go ahead and start working on them, but I don't want to burn a bunch of calories which I NEED.

Also, pry waste of a question, but I love running. My area is a great place to run in. I'm not talking any long distances. Maybe a mile a day tops.. no more and maybe less. Running still is something I should stay away from unless I want to up my calorie intake right?

Thank ya much

a) If you want to run a little bit, be aware that you'll have to eat more to compensate for it. Precede running by some simple sugars, a banana or such, and follow it with some more carbs and a bit of protein. Perhaps you can use it to make yourself more hungry, but don't go overboard on running.

b) Work your abs like any other part of the body.

Decline crunches heavy, 8-10 reps
Side raises, heavy, 8-10 reps
leg lifts, maybe hang a dumbell between your feet

2 sets of each of those are a good starting point for an ab workout.
