If you mean ab exercises, you really missed the importance of what I typed in my previous post.
Your routine is unbalanced. Your arms don't need training when your chest and back do, yet you have two days geared toward arm training and none to back or chest.
Your abs are trained every single day. Why? Quote: |
I feel this is the hardest part....you lose the weight then it's like..ok, how do I make the most out of it?
| I already answered this.
You maximize and improve your physique, assuming you want to take it to that level, but continually going through/alternating periods of gaining muscle and losing fat.
Without doing that, you're simply going to be spinning your wheels. Quote: |
And at this point do I lower my calories or up them?
| I told you what I would do if I were you or if I were training you above. Quote: |
And is it harder to gain and keep the muscle as you get older?
| If you don't lift with a balanced routine, certainly. Quote: |
And ladies, what core excercises do you do? I'd love to hear it!
| I asked this above but didn't get an answer:
You do know that "core exercises" doesn't give you abs, right?  |

Rep Power: 12 | | You definately dont need to work on your abs anymore. That first attachment of you in the black shows some serious definition. You're perfectly fine. | | |
