    Default How many sit-ups?

    I'm getting my abs a little stronger, so far I've reached 80 and can't do more.

    How much can you do and how well toned do you think your abs are?

    About 5 sets of 20 when i can be bothered. I used to be able to do a lot more before i got lazy

    Anyway, i hope you aren't doing them all at once. It's best to do quick bursts, stop, do something else in quick bursts (arm curls, push ups etc) and go back to and do another set of 10-20 reps. Atleast that's what i was always told.

    3 sets of 20. One straight, one left, and one right. Doing it every evening. Could probably go further, but Im taking it easy.

    I mostly do just 50 in a row. I feel like I can get a bit further but I'm too lazy to do so. My abs aren't really visible unless I use them

    Then I pray to God to kill me so I don't have to do a second.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Everyone's got perfectly fine sixpacks. It's just that some are hidden behind a thicker layer of insulation than others.
    If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.

    Hahaha, am I the only pushup addict here? ok, I prefer mine with 1 hand because well frankly I don't see the point of doing a few hundred.

    And as to the 140 and 5'7'' thing, I'm 5'6'' and 115 Oh well, not everyone's a skinny runt

    Good point about the tight Hip Flexors...holds a lot of people back on snatches etc (if any of these people actually try)
