Most fitness experts agree that your abdominals help to support and protect your spine, and thus, they must never be fatigued before doing any non ab exercises such as, chins, rows, deadlifts and squatting movements.  These “experts” state that when your abs are fatigued, you are at a greater risk of acquiring a back injury.  Based on this, the entire fitness industry insists that you must only do your ab training at the end of your workout.

The problem is that this training philosophy goes against one of the most basic workout truths: the Priority Principle.  This principle simply states that what gets trained first will get the best training effect.  Why would this principle work for every other body part in the human body except your 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 I recommend this modification to your workout: if six pack abs are your main concern, train them first!  This one simple alteration in training order will make a significant difference in you bottom line results.  When following this sequence, you will be able to put forth a better effort because you will be completely fresh.

If, like most people, you just throw an ab exercise at the end of your workout, this technique will double you rate of progress towards sculpting your midsection.

Another benefit to prioritized abdominal training is the warm up effect that it has on the body.  This actually helps prepare you 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 lingering fatigue prior to a maximal weight workout could be detrimental.

Incorporate this training sequence into your routine and have your six pack in no time!
