What’s Up Docs?
Before the App when I was just using the Excel Sheets on GPP days I did the routine in the following order: Cardio (rowing), Upper Back Work, Tricep & Bicep work, then finish with 10min on Ab Wheel for the ab work.
Now following the app list from top to bottom the order is: Cardio, Upper Back, Ab Wheel, then triceps and biceps.
However, I noticed now that when I do the Ab work I am just not feeling the fatigue in my abs like I used to when I did it last.
Is the order of doing things in the app the preferred order, or does it not really matter?
I don’t think it really matters, though I would typically recommend doing the conditioning work after any/all resistance training. I think if the ab work isn’t fatiguing anymore, the exertion likely needs to go up.
@Jordan_Feigenbaum By the exertion going up, do you mean holding the extension longer before rolling back? Also, are there any ab workouts besides the wheel you would recommend?
I would either be progressing the ab wheel somehow or picking a different exercise. I personally like the ab wheel, but it, like any other ab exercise needs to be progressed. I like pretty much any ab exercise you can think of, but end up defaulting to the ab wheel, glute ham sit ups, and hanging leg raises mostly.
For progression options, you can use a band anchored to the top of a squat rack and place it around your waist to “help” you do ab wheel roll outs from your toes. I’d work on that until you can do them fully extended from your feet.
