Apparently, according to Clay Rogers, if you want great abs, DON'T DO AB WORKOUTS! This is because 1) abs are muscles, 2) if you work muscles, they grow bigger, 3) bigger ab muscles give the appearance of a gut when you put your shirt on, so 4) that defeats the purpose of working your abs out, because you probably wanted flatter looking abs.
The other major reason Clay gives is that direct ab work is reckless and harmful. Since your core controls/stabilizes your entire body, that ab work is a big shock to your central nervous system. Clay references the work and research of Vince Gironda, professional bodybuilder, to support this premise. Could this be why so many people fail to ever achieve the coveted 6 PACK? Is it because they fail to buy into the counter-intuitive NO AB WORK AB APPROACH?
Clay also states that there's no way to get Ryan Reynolds' quality abs if you regularly drink alcohol. But I feel like I've seen people who get absolutely SLOSHED yet still have flat abs! So unfair! What do you think?
