Been working out at the gym doing all sorts of ab exercises and cardio. Trying to get my diet in gear and get my abs ripped but would like to know how long I should be in the gym. Much appreciate it.
go to the gym once every two days, and workout for no more than one hour.
why?
you wait two days because your body needs this to rest and build the muscles that you previously worked out.
why for an hour?
after an hour of working out, your body will no longer produce growth hormones, instead, it will start pumping out these NASTY hormones that will actually BREAK DOWN your muscles in order to give your body the energy it needs to continue working.
that is also why you shouldnt go to the gym everyday. because something similar is happening as what i just said.
since your going 3 times a week,
day 1- HEAVY. 3 sets of 6 reps
day 2- LIGHT. 3 sets of 12-15 reps
day 3- MEDIUM. 3 sets of 8-10
you can make slight variations if you want. but if you do these workouts and drink some whey protein after each workout, youl have a decent six pack in 2 weeks
