As is true for any other area of your life, the more specific your goals are, the better results you will get. (The more clear you are on where you want to go, the better chances you will have of actually getting there.)

Before you start your workout, get clear on what your primary/immediate goal is. Your goal will dictate how you plan your workouts and your entire training program.

If your main goal is to build maximum muscle mass, you will need to:
Focus on lifting heavy weights – as heavy as you can handle, without sacrificing form.
Keep your repetitions under 8, and do as many sets as it takes till you can’t lift with proper form
Increase your overall quantity, and frequency, of protein consumption
Get lots of rest and minimize all other physical activity (including sports, labor, etc.)

If your goal is to build more muscle and also lose weight fast, your training program will be slightly different. You will need to:
Focus on lifting heavy weights – as heavy as you can handle, without sacrificing form.
Keep your repetitions under 8, and do as many sets as it takes till you can’t lift with proper form
Increase your protein consumption while minimizing your carbohydrates, sugar and fat consumption.
Increase your cardiovascular exercise and any other activity (including sports, labor, etc.)

If your main goal is to start sporting chiseled abs or a “six pack,” you will need to make yet more changes to your training program.

Keep in mind that building bigger muscles while trying to get a ripped, chiseled look can be tricky for most people. And, it involves a delicate balance of calories, resistance training and cardio.

So, aside from your regular workouts (as mentioned above,) you will need to:
Focus on doing multiple abdominal exercises, hitting your mid-section from every angle.
Keep your repetitions between 10 to 25 repetitons for each abdominal exercise.
Consume just enough protein to fuel growing muscles while minimizing your carbohydrates, and almost eliminating sugar and fat.
Increase your cardiovascular exercise and any other activity (including sports, labor, etc.)

Note: Oftentimes, people can work the abdominal muscles very well and start to shape and sculpt them effectively. However, they never get to see it (or show it off) because these well-developed ab muscles are hidden below a layer of fat around the mid-section.
The only way to make these ab muscles visible is to burn off that excess fat by eating right and doing aerobic/cardiovascular exercise. There’s no other way around it. Doing more abdominal exercises will not help make those muscles visible.
