Six-Pack Abs - How To Get Six Pack Abs

Posted by muscled1 on 5th August 2008

By Vince DelMonte
One of the most popular requests among people in the gym is to get six pack abs. There is no doubt about it, obtaining this elusive goal not only takes hard work, but also demonstrates that you clearly know what you are doing in the gym. Learning how to getsix pack abs is definitely not the easiest thing in the world but it’s also not the hardest, as long as you follow the right steps.

So, what should you be doing to get results?

1. Focus on your diet.

Without a clean diet, six pack abs will never be yours. One thing you must realize is that while exercise is important, it’s only going to take you so far. No matter how many crunches or sit-up variations you perform, if you’ve got a solid layer of fat covering your stomach, your muscles are not going to be seen.

Try and focus on consuming enough protein to keep your appetite under control, supplemented with healthy fats for satiety and fruits and veggies for energy. It is important, however, that you are running a calorie deficit, because regardless of the food you eat, if you are consuming more than you burn off that day, you aren’t going to lose weight.

2. Perform a variety of exercises

Next up on your quest for six pack abs, you need to make sure you change up the exercises you perform on a regular basis.

While it’s fine if you have some that you generally like to stick with as you really feel it when you do them, try and alternate between at least a few from week to week.

The main reason for this is because your abdominal muscles adapt to change very quickly. As soon as they are finished adapting, you are going to stop seeing results - this is the truth about six pack abs.

By keeping them guessing as to what’s coming, you keep the results coming as well. Don’t make the mistake of doing the same boring workout, day in, day out.

3. Get Your Cardio In Line

Finally, step three for getting a nicely chiseled stomach is performing cardio properly. This isn’t to say you should run out and start doing hours upon hours on the treadmill. We aren’t aiming to turn you into a hamster here.

All you really need is a few quality sessions of cardio work a week. What’s high quality? Sprint sessions. Skipping. Hill running. Anything your body is not efficient at.

Yes, these are going to be much more intense than plodding along at a moderate pace while you read the fitness magazine of the week, but trust me, you will get results a thousand times faster.

Crank that intensity up for twenty to forty seconds and then back it down again for another minute. Repeat this process eight to ten times and you’ll have a workout that’ll shed that body fat in no time.

So, next time you’re admiring your physique in the mirror and are still longing for a better mid-section, take these three factors into consideration and you’ll discover this is the truth about six pack abs.

The Best Ways to Cheat …

Posted by muscled1 on 2nd August 2008

Don’t get too excited, guys and women, I’m talking about cheating on your diet, not your significant other. After all, I’m a dietitian, not a private eye. The truth is that even if you’re committed to a healthy lifestyle (you know, you eat well, exercise regularly, rarely overindulge), temptation is still everywhere. If you’re not careful, one loving look from a juicy burger (with bacon, mayo and cheddar) across the room could be the end of you. An innocent night out for hot wings and beer may result in your being a “bad boy” (especially if somebody catches you in the act).

K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) Approach To Diet And Fitness

Posted by muscled1 on 29th July 2008

One area where most people fail to follow the KISS system is in their approach to fitness, nutrition, or supplements. In fact I find people seem to gravitate toward adding complexity to their approach when it comes to building muscle or losing fat. Not coincidentally, it’s the people who take the most complex approaches to their nutrition, supplements, and training who are always the most confused and least successful. They focus on - and subsequently worry about - minutiae that prevent them from seeing the big picture and making the type of progress they desire. It often leads to what is referred to “paralysis by analysis.” The vast majority of people would have better results, not to mention less stress, if they simplified their approach to losing fat or gaining muscle. It’s not rocket science, brain surgery, or even rocket surgery!

Muscle-Building And Fat-Loss Supplementation

Posted by muscled1 on 8th July 2008

In black and white…what you need, what you don’t and why. If you take supplements or even want to take supplements, this information is going save you PILES of money AND help you get the results you deserve.

One of the single most frequent questions I hear is “what supplements should I take to build muscle/burn fat?” To that question I always answer with a question: “what does your training and nutrition look like?”

The blank looks I often receive in response tell me all I need to know. Many people view supplementation as the sole key to results…the golden ticket, magically unlocking the door to the body they want. They feel without supplements, that door just won’t open!

My view is different…

Get Rid Of My Gut

Posted by muscled1 on 5th July 2008

Here’s the reality, I normally don’t do this. I normally recommend weight loss on a slow and steady keel, over time… I rarely, if ever, recommend rapid fat loss for ANYONE, Any Time… but today is an exception to the rule.

Let me explain…

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you feel as though you have to lose weight seemingly overnight… or if you feel you’re in that situation now…

I’ve read thousands of journals, studied hundreds of textbooks, and mastered the art of rapid fat manipulation through real world “in-the-trenches” field work, with wild success.

To put it plain and simple, I’ve been around the block a time or two, and I know what works…

And I know what’s a crock of you know what.

To give you some ideas of what I’m talking about, here are just a few “little known” facts that the Weight Loss Industry is desperately hiding from you…
