Exercises to increase upper body strength like chest, biceps and getting 6 pack abs?
June 28th, 2010 | 
Author: I have been working out consistently for about 2.5 months, and have only seen minimal results thus far, I wanted to know how I should go about increasing my upper body strength. I do plenty of preacher curls but have not been getting substantially bigger. I also have very strong abs but want to figure out how to make that 6 pack show. Any suggestions?

Hello.
Perhaps you are overdoing yourself? How is your diet? You need to consider well these factors.
Try doing bench presses or dumbbell presses. Try other exercises for you biceps, maybe your body will respond well to a change in exercises? How many sets do you do? More is not better here.
Make sure you give your body adequate rest in between workouts.
try swimming that helped a lot and running and cycling also help for your abs.
Exercising takes time. Be patient. You probably have some fat surrounding your muscles. Diet is just as important as exercising (some say more important 60%-diet 20%exercise 20% rest) make sure to get enough carbs, protein and fat(yes fat too). I would like to suggest, doing aerobic exercises to increase your metabolism. And have a proper diet (you can look it up online there are plenty)
Also about the strength training, Make sure you switch up time to time. 1. for the reason being you won’t be bored from doing the same exercises over and over again
2. your body adapts to exercises…which causes you to get less results from that exercise.
good luck =)
(for abs, i do about 1,000 crunches(a day)…along with other stuff a week)
The answer depends a lot on your age, diet, where you do most of your training, and how far you actually want to go with your quest. Of course motivation is critical, and – hopefully – you have enough of it to get you to your goal. 2.5 months is NOTHING. Please begin to start setting your goals for like 2.5 years.
The best abdominal exercise for me was learning to do stiff legged toe touches on a horizontal bar. That means hanging from a hi-bar and slowly (keeping you legs stiff) touching the bar with your toes. Very difficult to learn to do, but the results are dramatic. Six sets of ten reps is the routine you should learn to practice. Follow through with six sets of sit ups – 25 reps to the set. The abdominal board setting is effective at about 2 feet from the floor. Always, do these exercises before you begin to start the rest of your routine. I mean this, ALWAYS. Learn the rest of the story from the companions you train with. and, read the muscle magazines. They are always instructive.
Good luck, Mike
Do curl ups… do curl ups… do curl ups… until you think you might cry.
Swim viciously.
Start doing backbends (I know it sounds so gymnisty and girly, but, hey, it works).
Do push up positions, until you are about to cry.
All this works. I would know. My hommies are personal trainers.
