Depends...

I have had one very successful cycle where I trained abs in every workout. My six pack was ripped and huge. I think if you set out to completely destroy your abs or say have an all abs session then you should allow your body to rest and repair.

Abs really depend on the person. Imo they seem to recover faster than most other muscles but 4on 1 off would be overdoing it for me

The shadows of your mind
Isn't the goal of bodybuilding to work a muscle the least number of times to get the most results possible?
Would you rather work your arms once a month or 7 days a week to get 19 inchers?
Of course, it isn't possible to get 19 inch arms from once a month workouts, but the question is to emphasize a point. Why would anyone want to work any muscle every day?

Agreee, they should be treated and trained like any other muscle group.
You can overtrain abs.

It depends on what exercises you are doing, I start a week with 50-60 crunches a day and this is not overtraining in my opinion. but I think that if you work abs hard , every day you definitely will hinder growth.

I dont think you need to train them daily. I treat them almost like any other muscle group other than I do hit abs 2 x per week.

Abs are as any muscle and respond to weight , train your legs 4 times a week and see what happens..same thing with abs
