The abs are able to withstand an incredible level of stress during the workout, and yet they can always be hit again just as hard after only a relatively small amount of rest time. Even after being exposed to a large set of stomach burning reps, they are ready to go again after just a minimum of one minute of rest time. So why is that? Mainly due to the abdominals ability to quickly clear lactic acid away as well as the body’s ability to provide more oxygen to the abdominal muscles. This could possibly be because of their location relative to the heart. Regardless though, the abdominals seem to respond better to high output training than other muscle groups. Now it should be said that there are of course no definitive answers as to which kind of stimulus has a greater amount of effectiveness in regards to the abs. Different people respond in different ways to changes in how the muscles are worked. This could be a change in weight used, reps used, sets used, etc. The important part is having the knowledge of how and when to use these changes in stimulus to one’s advantage.
