New Years Resolution: Six Pack Abs
01-10-2013, 11:51 PM
Great advice everybody. I think I am going to start with some IF in addition to cutting down on carbs and alcohol.
My current workout routine is some interval training cardio 5-6 days a week and lifting 2-3 days a week. I figured since I want definition I should hit cardio hard. Problems with this idea?
Is it a bad idea to workout twice a day? I do cardio in the morning and weights after work. Also is it necessary to have at least one day of rest a week?

So we're going to pretend like everyone just has a chiseled washboard hiding under their body fat?

I wouldn't go too nuts on the cardio. Maybe one or two days of sprinting per week and take it easy on legs for one of your three lifting days. It's easier to eat less than work out more.

Diet is simple: No matter what you eat (ever see those adventure racers go for days just eating Snicker's bars?)... Just make sure caloric output is more than caloric intake. Easy. Obviously, that could mean eating an ice cream instead of a proper meal, but if you really want the ice cream... Or going out boozing with the boys--all those calories must be accounted for, and if you're trying to lose weight, you're either going to have to workout like a mofo or skip a meal. Calories are calories. If you want to trim down, caloric output must exceed caloric intake. There is no way to avoid this fact.
To develop your abs, focus on planks and bridges. That coupled with a good diet and you're golden.

My bodybuilding friends swear by Clenbuterol for getting under 10% b.f.
I had a non-bodybuilding friend try it, and he lost 40 pounds in a 6 weeks.

Don't take any advice from people on this forum unless they provide pics of their six pack abs with "RVF" written on it.

You could try eating paleo and lifting heavy weights. I could see my abs when I was on paleo, but I can't say that I had enough muscle at the time to really make them pop out like a more advanced weightlifter who's also shredded.
Don't do cardio, do high intensity interval training instead. Also, endless ab crunches aren't going to do you dick if your bodyfat percentage is anywhere above 10%.

1. Workout: what should my routine be like?
45min of cardio 2-3 times a week. Ideally:
1 day jog or run
2 day swimm
3 day bike
4 day eliptical
5 day rest
6 day run
7day rest
PLUS 2 sports per week, soccer game, tennis, golf, surf,whatever....+ stretches + YOGA once a week.
+GYM for weight training 2-3 times a week. Don´t go hardcore on this, it will make you too hungry and you might cheat your diet. You are planning to get huge but ripped.
2: Diet:
No carbs after 2pm, no heavy sugar, 6 meals a day, 20gr of protein on each meal. Stay away from fast food and soda and you will be OK.
You can cheat 1 day a week, dark chocolate, fat free ice cream and organic chips.
What I do If i dont have time to cook:
-Get an expensive blender: put spinach, berries, protein, milk, eggs and drink it in one sip in the morning and before bed.
Control your hunger: Mate or green tea.
Vitamins and minerals for supplements and of course protein shakes, Myofusion chocolate is the best.
3: Other: Any ways to stay motivated?
Look at the mirror everyday take pictures to see results and buy smaller clothes.
STAY FOCUS, with a better body you will get more attention and more compliments, thats motivation by itself!
Dont eat shit, and keep the cardio going. Get good 8 hour night sleep everyday.
I have a strong 6 pack, still drink like a teenager on weekends but I stay focus during the week.
Do this for 3 months and you will see heavy results.
The harder you practice, the luckier you get.

Go vegan for 2 months, shed the fat. Eat raw veggies and fruits that are nutrient dense but calorie poor. While you're doing this, do a morning ab regimen every other day to kick start your metabolism for the day.
Pick 4 ab exercises that will work the entire core region, I start with the Plank and then mix it up.
This combination of shedding fat and building the muscles is how you see abs. Needless to say cut out booze and other sources of empty carby calories.
