Men's Muscle Building Resources

Hugh Jackman has done an incredible job of getting in shape for his new blockbuster Wolverine. Everyone admires his perfectly chiseled abdominals. I’m going to discuss five of his extremely effective fat-burning exercises. It’s easier than you think to own and maintain a stomach of steel.

Once you’ve got a super set of abs, maintaining them isn’t that difficult. As long as you don’t gain much weight and get regular aerobic exercise, they’ll stick around.

Since these gravity-defying repetitions are stressful, do them just once a week, employing easier midsection exercises on other days. His workout is a new slant on abdominal conditioning. Literally.

The stomach-crunching movements illustrated in this article are fairly standard. But perform them on a decline bench and you’ll be on the fast track to lean and hard stomach muscles.
