This is a terrible ab workout. High rep work like this will lead to between zero and a very slight increase in muscle size. Contrary to popular belif the best way to get a six pack is by doing low rep (around 8), high weight (whatever weight allows you to perform 8 repititions with perfect form) exercises. For example: Weighted decline crunches. Of course this will only increase the size of your abs, you must have low body fat in order to see them.
no you shouldn’t. abdominal muscles are just like any other muscle in that they need rest in order to grow. work them out good and hard twice a week on nonconsecutive days, and then let them recover.
if you feel sore from yesterday you shouldnt keep working abs .when your sore it means your growing , so not giveing you abs a rest will just keep your abs sore . its very important to let them rest
don’t work muscles until the soreness is gone. it’s sore cuz the muscle teared (which is supposed to happen) that way you know it’s building more muscle. you need protein for it to rebuild. so basically you should wait 48 hours till you work out that same muscle
