Most fitness experts agree that your abdominals help to support and protect your spine, and thus, they must never be fatigued before doing any non ab exercises such as, chins, rows, deadlifts and squatting movements. These "experts" state that when your abs are fatigued, you are at a greater risk of acquiring a back injury. Based on this, the entire fitness industry insists that you must only do your ab training at the end of your workout.

Most fitness experts agree that your abdominals help to support and protect your spine, and thus, they must never be fatigued before doing any non ab exercises such as, chins, rows, deadlifts and squatting movements. These "experts" state that when your abs are fatigued, you are at a greater risk of acquiring a back injury. Based on this, the entire fitness industry insists that you must only do your ab training at the end of your workout.
I see their point to a degree but their philosophy is in stark contrast with "The Priority Principle. The Priority Principle simply says that what gets trained first (while in the freshest state) will get the best training effect. The fitness experts agree that this is a powerful principle with every single muscle group...except the abs. Why would this principle be true for every other muscle group in the human body except the abs?
What if you really want to emphasize training your abs? What if your number one goal is to get ripped, six pack abs?
In either of these cases, your abs should be worked at the beginning of your workout when you are the least fatigued.
So I recommend this modification to your workout: if six pack abs are your main concern, train them first! This one simple alteration in training order will make a significant difference in you bottom line results. When following this sequence, you will be able to put forth a better effort because you will be completely fresh.
If you are used to just cranking out a few sets of crunches at the end of your workouts, you will literally double your rate of progress towards carving out ripped abs by using this technique.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, priority abdominal training will also provide you with a great warm up for the rest of your workout. The only exception to this rule is when you are truly training with maximal weights. Doing anything that could have any residual fatigue prior to a maximal weight workout would be undesirable.
Try this exercise sequence and carve out your six pack faster than you thought was possible!
