If I were to take a survey of 100 people and ask them which part of their body they would like to have to perfection, I’m guessing that a large majority would say their abs. There is no doubt about it that eye-popping abs are a very desirable commodity and you’ll be glad to know that achieving them is not the most difficult task in the world – but neither is it the easiest.
Before I go into details on how to get a 6 pack fast, let’s dispel some myths which you have more than likely been exposed to on several occasions.
Myth Number 1 – You need to be adhering to a severe diet in order for your abs to be seen.
This type of action starves the muscle when you should actually be FEEDING the muscle instead. When you decide to starve your body, it goes into survival mode, your metabolism shuts down and your body starts to store fat! Therefore for energy to be released, what gets by-passed? You got it, muscle growth!
Myth No.2 – You have to purchase the latest abs workout gadget!
It seems that there are more and more abs machines advertised every time you turn on the TV.
Aren’t these ads just so infuriating – but then they must be working because over $200 million dollars are spent on these bits of equipment annually!
So unless you want to chuck away your hard earned moolah, avoid these stupid things!
So now that the myths are out of the way, what are some tips for actually producing the six pack abs you’re after?
Remember that abdominals are a muscle group that require the same attention as any other muscle group in order to grow.. Therefore, training hard and with a high level of intensity is clearly necessary. In order to be seen as the guy not to be messed with, you could do worse than observe these couple of pointers..
Tip 1 – Work your abs at the START of your workout!
Far too often I see blokes working their abs at the closing stages of their intense session – but what’s the point when they are exhausted?
Some so called experts say ‘don’t train your six pack first because it only causes your core muscles to be vulnerable for the rest of the session’. I consider this as rubbish and no-one has fully convinced me to the contrary. If it’s your abdominals that need the most work, then ALWAYS train them in the beginning.
Tip NO.2 – Overwork your abs rather than underworking them!
Would working a muscle once a week or twice produce the better results? A pretty easy one eh? It has to be twice weekly. The more stress muscles are put under, the more impressive the results. So 2-4 times weekly is ideal, it’s your call.
If you go by these tips and dispel the myths, you undoubtedly will see impressive results. If you still can’t, then the truth is that you must improve your diet to make them able to be seen! If this is the case you need to learn more about building muscle burning fat.
