AB question

[mudurango99]

I work abs hard everyday or every other day depending on soreness they are starting to show real well but I can not seem to get that row right under my pecs to show what are some good exercises for the extreme upper abs I want them to come up to the chest like they are supposed to. Also does anyone know some good exercises for lower abs, the only time I can feel mine burn is on hanging leg raises everything else just seemes to work the middle to much. Thanks for the help.

For lower abs you can take the arm straps that you put your arms in when you do your hanging leg raises and clip them onto a cable machine. lay down on your back on a bench with your knees facing the cable and put your legs throught the arm straps so that your knees rest in the straps where your elbows normally rest on hanging leg raises. Adjust the height of the cable to a little below knee level, lay back, lift your legs bringing your lower back slightly off the bench. I usually hold the bench with my hands over my head...kind of like doing hanging legs raises laying on your back but with weight... not sure if this makes sense...easier to show it to you...it is a kind of cumbersome to get use too, but it will burn out your lower abs if you get the position right... hope this makes sense and helps.

That is sound advice right there!
