I purchased the Ab-Lounger 4 weeks ago, I do 700 - 900 reps if you can call it that , on the contraption. All bullshit aside , the dam thing is working well. That is every other day, other days, free weights. Feels like it is going to come apart. Not to uncomfortable.

those contraptions are fine for building ab muscles, but they wont burn the fat nessisary to get to 8% so you can see them.

you can get rock hard abs with those things and still be fat.

Yup, only need to train abs like every other muscle group. 1 maybe 2 times per week. I do mine with bi's currently. I just grab on a pull up station and do leg ligts, and do crunches. I will say tho the old school ab rocker roller thing... the purple thing sits on the floor. Its good for when you want to hit abs. It makes sure you dont stress your neck. To do crunches without using your neck, also try staring at the ceiling and put your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
Another good core exercise is to take a small straight bar, but a 10lb plate in the middle, basic ab roller. be careful tho, it will work your abs, but can hurt your lower back

or take a 5 gallon lid, plactic lid, and put it in the floor. get on all 4's, feet on the lid and do a jack. same thing as using a ball, but a little more stable.

but abs wont really be seen until you get to a lower BF%.

ya, if you eat like a pig. 700-900 reps on dosn't burn any fat ?????????? Its working for me. I'll post before and after photos next month, that will show a 2 month improvment.

Nope. I know it's hard to understand but there is no such thing as spot reduction. Everyone whose new to bodybuilding cherishes this misconception. The reps you do will make your abs grow alittle bigger, but the fat will remain. Sorry. Those pictures probably show what happens when your abs grow a little. :(

Thanx for all the advice everyone...so would u say doing abs every other day rather then everyday really wont make a differance at all? If so thats great cuz that'll make life alot easier actually

0311, hold that thought. Semper Fi !!! Marine brother

fully agreee here. you can have abs so tight you could take a whack with a baseball bat but that doesn't mean you'll have a visible 6pack... just the same, you can be 4% bodyfat and not have a good 6pack if theres no muscle there.

you have to have a low enough bodyfat % to show off the muscle, AND you gotta have enough muscle to see without a microscope to have a good set of 6pack abs.

Define spot reduction.

Yep
