Abs Training Myth Debunked
- Abdominal muscles need to be trained like other muscles and do not require high reps for endurance.
- Spot reduction is a myth; training abs does not directly burn belly fat.

- Eat in a slight calorie surplus to build abs as you cannot build muscle in a calorie deficit.
- Building abs first allows them to be visible at higher body fat percentages.

- Avoid hip flexor dominant movements and ensure proper technique for effective ab activation.
