How do I get a blocky waist?

The surest way to build a blocky waist is to do side bends while hanging onto dumbbells. Instead, work your obliques by doing a few sets of side planks a couple of times a week.

How do I make my stomach wider?

The ‘core’ muscles are no different than any other muscle group. Thus, training the muscles around your belly can make them bigger but not smaller. If you train your stomach with core exercises like sit-ups, those muscles will likely get bigger and make your belly larger.

What causes blocky waist?

Here’s what you need to know… Often, the cause of a bodybuilder’s blocky waist is the abuse of drugs. Heavy, frequent ab and oblique training can create a blocky waist or “turtle shell” abs. To fix a thick waist, you may need to reduce or stop all direct ab/oblique training.

How do I get my abs to pop out more?

Here’s the true secret of exposing your abs and getting them to “pop out” more: It’s a combination of both – low body fat to EXPOSE aka UNCOVER them (reveal the muscle that’s already under there), and training to DEVELOP the ab muscles, aka build what is not there yet. Some people find abdominal development difficult.

What is the best way to build thick ABS?

Building thick abs is not about finding one perfect ab exercise and repeating it ad infinitum it’s about finding a range of exercises that complement each other perfectly. It’s about finding the right training volume, and the correct rest intervals between sets. We will take a look at each of these before finishing off with a thick abs workout.

Do you get bigger ABS from crunches or compound workouts?

Neither side is completely right or wrong. Doing lots of crunches will help you to get bigger abs, while compound movements will also help strengthen them. However, neither method is quite as effective as combining the two together. Compound movements such as the bench press, barbell squat, or deadlift work multiple muscle groups and joints.

What is the best way to train ABS?

The abs are a muscle that can often be trained very effectively just with body weight. The problem is, most people stick with bodyweight exercises exclusively, even when they can do more than 25 reps per set, sometimes even 50 or 100 reps. At that point, you’re training pure endurance and not hypertrophy.
