What do you guys do for abs...Crunches??? How many sets and reps?????? I'm someone who isn't fat but kind of skinny... I'm starting to get ripped but I have no abs really...What do you recommend for building up the abs...Give me how many days a week if should be done and if crunches tell me how many sets and rep.....

Cute, but here's a real routine if you want one. Start at the lowest level and do each level twice before you move on. So if you work your abs twice a week, you're looking at 9 weeks for the whole thing. Here's what I do:

Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Abs
Wednesday: Back/Biceps
Thursday: Abs
Friday: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Sat/Sun: Rest

If you want my entire weightlifting routine, its under 'intermediate 3-way split' in this thread: link

P.S. If you have no idea what leg thrusts are, try to remember one of those old Chinese Kung-Fu movies that show Shaolin monks pounding the stone floor with their legs. That's it. Leg thrusts are basically step-kicks.

Confuzed..

Okay.. I try to keep up on terminology (dunno if it's a word.. but who cares.. I'm using it..) about weight stuff and fitness (sh!tness if you're refering to my body) but what are some of those things..knee rockback? hanging knee/leg raise? crunches? leg thrusts? (I haven't seen any old Kung-Fu movies) *looks to DVDs and sees "Revenge of the Dragon".. does that count?*
