One of the main aspects that people overlook when trying to get their abs to show is diet. Your diet is key if you actually want to be able to see them muscles underneath the layer of fat on your stomach. When I talk about diet I so not mean barely eating anything but instead eating the right foods that are going to help you build muscle and lose fat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at these top tips for sculpting killer six-pack abs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop doing hundreds of crunches everyday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your abdominal muscles are like any other muscle, if you want them to grow you need to increase the resistance on them when you are training them, Doing hundreds of crunches everyday may allow your muscles to get stronger but they are not going to get bigger as you are not increasing the resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of this you need to focus on a range of different abdominal excercises that are going to really work your muscles and also increase the resistance against them. 4 sets of crunches with a dumbbell is enough crunches that you need to be doing to increase muscle. When it starts to get easier than this is when to increase the weight of the dumbbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like any other muscle you also do not need to work your abdominals everyday. You need to give them time to grow in between working out so it is a good idea to work them at a minimum of twice a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start doing big compound exercises<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because you are working your abs does not men that the fat around them is going to drop off. In order to see your abdominals clearly you need to lose the fat around them by reducing your overall body fat level. As well as using your diet to do this, it is also important to do big compound exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These exercises help to shred the fat off your body that is covering your hidden six-pack. As they are using large muscles such as legs and back they are doing to need a lot more calories to repair, thus help you reduce body fat.
