Is It Possible to Overwork Your Abs
Overworking Abdominal Muscles, Don't Kill Your Waist

Over the years there have been a variety of bodybuilders who have 
spent inordinate amounts of time on their waist. Some boasted of 
performing 1,000 sit ups a day to work the waist. Others have used 
tons of sets of crunches to attack their abs. The sad and surprising
truth is that you don't need to perform mega sets and reps for the 
middle.

Vince Gironda once said he could get world class abs in less than two
months and do so on minimal amounts of sets and reps Trainer Phil 
Campbell points out it is a common mistake to spend so much time on 
the waist when you can get full effects from just a few sets.

You may think "no harm, no foul" for spending a lot of time on the 
waist area but in effect you are wasting good training time on your 
waist. If you can get in a workout that fully fires up the ab muscles
in 10 minutes but spend an hour on them, you have harmed your overall
workout effort.

Smart training means never wasting time – it means taking advantage 
of every minute to load the full body as much as possible. If one 
area gets an excess overload, that costs the other areas which need 
it more.

There is no need to kill your waist with a ton of workout material. 
A few simple sets and reps will fully stimulate the midsection. And 
the fat comes off not from the direct ab work, but rather from other
exercises and diet. So don't get caught up in the massive set 
syndrome to try and outsmart your middle.  When it comes to waist 
training, less is more than enough.
