While your great-grandparents may have used a washboard to clean their clothes or as a musical instrument, washboards are now a thing of the past. Washboards are currently only seen in museums; even then, they’re rare.
Despite its dated connotation, the phrase “washboard abs” is still often used to describe someone with a well-proportioned abdomen.
Washboard Abs: What Are They?
Hello everyone my name is Reece Mander, a professional personal trainer, and Wellness. Today we’ll discuss abs. Washboard abs, not just any abs. The sort will have you putting on your bathing suit cover-up in no time and giving in your Doritos for some fruit instead. What exactly are “washboard abs?” What’s more, where can you find them?
So, there you have it. A washboard, if you’re anything like me, you’ve never heard of or seen one. In the days before washing machines, doing laundry needed much more work than pushing a few buttons.
You may be thinking about how this relates to abs now that you’ve learned what a washboard is. First of all, congratulations if anybody has ever told me you had “washboard abs.” Seriously, clap yourself on the back for your accomplishment. Washboard abs are characterized by a pronounced rigidity, much like the surface of a washboard. That said, washboard abs are a common objective since they are mighty, well-defined, and aesthetically pleasing.
How to Get Washboard Abdominals Training?
Muscle size has a direct correlation to its outward appearance. Even wearing a T-shirt, your arms will be more noticeable if you have large biceps and triceps. It’s the same with your abdominals.
Train your abs to be large and strong if you desire a washboard stomach. An alternative to high-rep endurance training is to do low-rep work. In the same way that you wouldn’t train your biceps with 50-rep sets, don’t exercise your abs in the same way.
Sets of 6-20 repetitions are ideal for achieving washboard abs. Look for methods to increase the difficulty of your selected workouts rather than just increasing the number of repetitions. Increasing the difficulty of weighted abdominal workouts like cable crunches and dumbbell side bends is particularly advantageous. On the other hand, most bodyweight exercises are less adaptable, and the only way to make them more difficult is to do more repetitions.
You can’t only train the rectus abdominis if you want washboard abs; you need to attack the problem from several angles. As a result, you must approach your midsection from every possible aspect, ensuring that no developing opportunity goes untapped.
Unfortunately, genetics have a significant role as well. The midsection of your dreams is far more likely to come true if you take your nutrition and core workout properly.
Even though you won’t achieve washboard abs nirvana, you will still have sculpted abs to be proud of. A more powerful midsection will increase your athletic prowess and may even lessen your risk of back trouble by increasing your core strength.
