Do you weigh yourself down when you do crunches? Like do you hold a plate to your chest?
If you just do crunches (non-weighted) you'll only see so much growth because you'll reach your max. Challenge yourself. See how much you can take doing one rep (I was once told) and then take 10% off that max.
But then there's so much advice flying around out there, much of it is conflicting. Drink water. No don't drink too much water. High carbs. Are you nuts? No high carbs! Fast reps. Yeah, if you want to see no growth at all. You don't know what you're talking about. No, you don't! Nuh-uh! Uh-huh!
If I hear something suspicous, I like to try to find the study on it and do more reading. Whatever works for your body, I tend to believe, isn't going to do the same thing for all bodies.
You're special, just the way God made you. Praise the Lord.
