abs and calves

[jarbulldog]

how often should you train your abs and calves

 

[Thompson]

I only train them once a week directaly, because im prety sure they are like any other muscle, and more than once could lead to over training.

i started training abs and calves three times a week and i have seen great results

Abs and calves both recover fast. However comma they shouldn't be trained every day like some would suggest. I say twice a week on calves, three times for abs. But I call deadlift an ab workout and sometimes call squat a calve workout if they are tired afterwards.

 

[Bast]

I hit abs twice a week and calves once, works good.
Although i dont do that many sets per time for abs because i hit them twice.

 

[Eze]

I hit calves on average once per week. I hit abs about 3 times per year

Now that I am leaning out, I am realizing that heavy compound movements build great abs!!! I have been told this over and over on the boards, and now I am finally listening

Actually Mr. Thompson, they are different. The abs and calves as well as your traps, are much smaller muscles in gereral and therefore should be trained differently. That is why i would tend to agree with the big ferrigno's training philosophy.
