You're expecting me to say that the "reality" about getting a
6-pack is to "burn off the fat", right?
You want to tell me that you "already HAVE a 6-pack" but it's
just covered with a layer of blubber, eh?
Sure, that's what ALL of the guru's say, and it's TRUE...
...SORT OF!
You see, too many people have put in all the "hard work" to get
to single digit body fat levels only to find that when the fat
is gone...
...their abs are still FLAT AS A PANCAKE!
============================== ==
So here's the REAL TRUTH about ABS...
============================== ==
You actually have to HAVE "muscle" on your abs in order to
achieve that killer "ripped" look!
Plus, here's one more little "unknown" that will make getting
a 6-pack EASIER...
You see, the amount of muscle you have on your abs will
determine whether you start seeing your "pack" poke through
at 10% body fat or 6% body fat.
And TRUST ME...there's a WORLD of difference in that 4% gap,
as anyone who's ever tried to "diet down" to single digit body
fat levels will tell you!
As far as I'm concerned, if I can look great at 10% body fat
because my abs have more muscle and are more defined, then all
the better...easier abs!
So you have to TRAIN your abs hard in the gym, just like ANY
other muscle!
============================== ==
So how SHOULD you train your abs?
============================== ==

While you're there, read the OTHER tips that are available.
(So far, Jeff's covered "Chest", "Back", "Legs", "Shoulders",
and last night was
"Abs Training".)
There are now over 600 TRAINING TIPS waiting for you.
Here's a "3-Tip Sample" of some great posts pulled out of
yesterday's ABS TRAINING SECRETS:
============================== =======
ABS Training Tip # 6 from Trever
============================== =======
"Hanging leg raises with a twist -
Bring your legs up past eye level ( if you can) lower them half
way down ( straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor).
Then bring your knees to your chest and twist them side to side
a couple of times.
Extend your legs out again and slowly let them all the way down.
Do as many reps as possible...rest...then repeat for 1-2 more sets."
============================== =======
Combo Training Tip #21 from David
============================== =======
"Use a lighter weight plate when doing weighted crunches, but
hold it over head as if doing a dumbbell pull-over.
This creates more tension so it's equivalent to higher weights.
However, as you go to failure, you can bring the weight closer
by bending your arms, reducing the tension.
Keep doing this until the weight is over your chest.
In effect, this is a drop set, but doesn't involve changing
weights, making it more convenient."
============================== =======
Rear Delts Training Tip #33 from Cal!
(Call actually WON the $100 random drawing LAST night!)
============================== =======
"This circuit is 75 reps (or other desired #) and should be
repeated 4 to 5 times. I normally do this circuit 1-2 times per week.
Grab a 45 lb olympic plate.
Lay with back on the ground, with knees bent 90 degrees and feet
on the ground.
Grab the 45 lb plate and hold above you, like extended in bench
press position.
Keeping arms locked out, do 25 crunches (envision yourself
trying to touch the 45 lb plate to the ceiling).
When done with those 25 reps, DO NOT DROP THE WEIGHT DOWN.
Simple raise your feet off the ground, keeping your knees bent at
90 degrees. Again, do 25 crunches. Again, DO NOT DROP THE WEIGHT.
Now fully extend your legs, straight into the air so that your
body is now in a 90 degree position.
Again, do another 25 crunches.
After finishing those 25 reps, NOW YOU DROP THE WEIGHT.
You will feel a lot of burn in your abs when finishing these.
Turn over onto your stomach and stretch for 30 sec to a minute.
Take no longer than 90 seconds rest between circuits.
These are sure to add some mass to your abs, to give them that
"POP", to give you more than just a "flat stomach"
============================== =======
Now it's YOUR TURN to throw your ARMS TRAINING TIP into the
"secrets pile"!
