NOTE

Effective Abdominal Training Methods

Effective abdominal training methods involve keeping repetitions between three and five, focusing on tension and contraction rather than on high reps and fatigue. For exercises like the plank, it's essential to maintain proper form and not exceed 10 seconds to avoid activating wrong muscles due to fatigue. The key is to contract all muscles below the neck, including the abs, glutes, and entire body. By following this approach three times a week with three to five sets of three to five reps, focusing on contraction rather than fatigue, strength gains will be achieved in various activities, ranging from deadlifts to tennis serves, resulting in a stronger midsection.
