Just Curious if it’s possible...
I understand diet reveals the abs.. but using weighted ab exercises makes the ab muscles bigger and thicker.
I’ve heard you can build a small amount of muscle on a cut if..
-Your overweight
-A Begginer to weightlifting
-Or you Haven’t stimulated certain muscles properly or as intensely even if you’ve been in the gym for awhile.
-All of the above and if diet and protein is adequate.
I don’t know how true this is.. I do have a lot of weight to loose so I don’t know if muscle can be built.. I feel like it’s possible since theirs lots of excess energy to pull from my fat stores. Me personally I’ve built a lot of strength while loosing weight but I’m not sure if muscle was built.. I never had a hydro or dexa scan and even those aren’t 100% accurate. I’ve been weightlifting for many years but I’ve always lifted with different groups of people who trained and taught me different things.. football players,powerlifters,bodybuilders,cops,bros
Military guys.. Everyone does things differently I guess because everyone has different beliefs and goals so I don’t know. Lots of those guys trained me differently.. Some Said you can and can’t build muscle while cutting.. Ect lots of conflicting information on nutrition/training/science ECT
I always hated training abs the way most bros do them (Hundreds or reps and exercises on the floor almost everyday and their abs aren’t even big) so I’ve always trained my abs like all my other muscles.. with progressive overload with weights... but I’m not sure if it’s effective because I’m still cutting.
I’m currently just doing
1. All Ab machines At (La Fitness) 12-15 x4
2. Cables for Side Obliques and face downs
3. Weighted knee and leg crunches
4. Weighted Crunches sometimes.
5. I’ve also heard compound movements build abs.
I’ve got a long way to cut and.. hopefully I can make some progress as I loose weight. And if not... When I bulk I’ll have core strength to help build thicker abs.
