What's your current body fat percentage?
It totally does I reckon [emoji123]Haha. I havnt done a core exercise in years hahaha. But i squat and deadlift almost 3 times a week. That totally counts. [emoji14]

Out of interest what cardio do you do and do you include some each sesh?
I really like to warm up on the treddie. Only started the gym over the past 3 months and losing the beer belly pretty quickly.
It took me about 20 mins to do 1km when I started and now down to 10 mins.

I think doing that many exercises and total sets for abs like that is a fucking waste of time. But thats just me.
Diet pretty much the sole issue here without knowing anything.
Ab muscles are like any other muscles and can benefit from targetted training, sure.
6-12 sets of true honest work per week will do the trick. Being able to do 4 million reps and sets means its not hard enough IMO. Though your muscle endurance in that area should be exellent by now!
Also, you say lifting weights. What we talking about here bud?
You doing heavy compound movements? Squats/deadlifts/heavy pressing etc have done more for my abs than any directed core work IMO. Sure, i cant see em at the moment [emoji14] but at 20-21% holiday season fabulous i can still flex em to visible pretty easily haha. Built by heavy work, not by 8753 direct sets per week.
Definately train em. But training them for hours per week isnt needed.

That's a shitload more cardio than I do lol. Yep them beers hey?[emoji2958][emoji16] I still drink some brews I make myself. Thing is mate, I was skinny AF all my life and could eat absolutely anything without putting on weight. Now at 49 things have definitely changed! Not sure of your age but I found that the belly stayed whilst there were anything carbs in foil packs like chips and such regardless of the marketing slogans in the pantry. Got rid of that shite. Frozen carbs like chips too mainly because of the crap oils they pre-cook them in. Not hard to bake some hand sliced jobbies. I don't eat gluten but not by choice and dairy too. I've seen benefits from my Mrs. dropping those out too. I mainly eat veg/salad,eggs,lots of fish and skinned chicken and added more fruit esp. citrus and bananas (switch chocolate out for strawberries)At the moment I'm doing 30 min walk as soon as I wake up everyday. Somedays if I have time before work. 20 mins jump rope and probably 5 mins star jumps. Other times 30 mins of jump rope when i get home and than do all the ab or weight sets.
That's awesome mate. Mine is definetly a beer belly. Cut most of the beers out but it's still lurking :/
Let's revisit this one. How much protein you getting here??? Doesn't look like much.Diet I feel is pretty good. Happy for feedback but
Breakfast-Weetbix with yogurt and fruit
Snacks during the day- Almonds/cucummber slices
Lunch- Two wraps with just spinach/ carrot
Dinner- Grilled chicken, frozen chips(I know but I'd die without them) vegetables
Night snacks- A row of chocolate
After workout- Boiled egg and protein shake
At the moment now that X-mas and NYE is done I'll probably only have a 6 pack of beer every three weeks
Used to do all these fancy crunches but now i Do some hanging knee raises or basic sit ups. Trains much more muscles than Just your rectus abdominus. I used to run but nowadays i cycle more. Cycle to work if you can. Appointments.. Etc cycle there. Burns off my bodyfat & more importantly i enjoy it. You don't need endless Sets of Abs.
Problem with cycling is it works the legs a fair bit.
You can over train.
Fast paced walk for me, every lunch break and in the evening.
