The entire fitness community insists that you must only train your abs at the end of your workout. They state that since the abs contribute greatly to spinal stability, they should never be fatigued prior to performing non ab exercises such as, presses, squats, RDL’s or rowing exercises. Therefore the only option the “experts” give to you is to work your abs at the end of your workouts.

I see their point to a degree but their philosophy is in stark contrast with “The Priority Principle. The Priority Principle simply says that what gets trained first (while in the freshest state) will get the best training effect. The fitness experts agree that this is a powerful principle with every single muscle group…except the abs. Why would this principle be true for every other muscle group in the human body except the abs?

What if your abs are your weakest body part? What if getting six pack abs happens to be your number one priority?

Under these circumstances, you should prioritize your training and work them at the beginning of your workout.

So here is my suggestion: if you want to prioritize your abs, train them at the very beginning of your workout! This slight alteration will make a big difference in your training results. You will have better focus while working them, and you’ll be able to put forth greater effort into each ab exercise.

If you are used to just cranking out a few sets of crunches at the end of your workouts, you will literally double your rate of progress towards carving out ripped abs by using this technique.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, priority abdominal training will also provide you with a great warm up for the rest of your workout. The only exception to this rule is when you are truly training with maximal weights. Doing anything that could have any residual fatigue prior to a maximal weight workout would be undesirable.

Try this exercise sequence and carve out your six pack faster than you thought was possible!
