YOUR ABS DON’T need much more than a clean dietand a quick beating in the gym from time to time. In fact, carving out a six-pack can be done with the compound moves you’re already doing to build your chest, back, shoulders, and legs. These four routines will save time and combine the concept of isolating the abs, and hitting them with big complex moves. Add these routines to your big muscle days.
