The Scientific Approach To Building A Maintainable Six Pack

The Scientific Approach To Building A Maintainable Six Pack

by Russ Howe

When questioned on their priorities in the gym, most men would consider something which could teach them how to get abs to be as valuable as any resource. Such is the pressure on men to have a lean, muscular midsection, it is not rare to see guys stressing over their stomach.

Conflicting information is a gym user's worst nightmare. It causes self doubt, which hold you back in every aspect of your training. You begin looking for faults, rather than progress. In part, this is due to the fact that so many outdated techniques are still being widely used in gyms. These include:

* If you do 2000 sit-ups, you will get abs.

* Being small muscles, you need to hit your midsection every single day.

* Weighted exercises will cause you to look like a bloated, unattractive bodybuilder.

The fact is the techniques above are outdated and ineffective for most individuals. How many times have you seen somebody plod through a boring, long workout consisting of little other than crunches and sit-ups in the false belief that they are going to get better results? Too many times!

These beliefs are not true.

In fact, you can generate better results by spending less time training this muscle group. You just need to get more specific with your exercises, allowing you to hit each part of the muscle with pinpoint accuracy. This takes less time, but will give you a superior end product.

The following routine will get you started:

1. 20 x Crunches

2. 20 x Leg Raises

3. 20 x Straight-Leg Crunches with feet on a Swiss Ball

Perform the routine in a circuit, pushing out all reps before resting for 2 minutes and doing the circuit again. Four rounds of this three-step circuit is all you need to get on the right track to building a solid six pack.

Why is this more effective than a long, drawn-out session?

It hits all of the different muscles within the abdominal region effectively. Leg raises, target the lower abs, which is an area that most people store fat but have no idea how to target on the gym floor, whereas crunches target the upper region instead.

It also ensures you keep the intensity high, which will result in more fat loss. Providing you are following a solid diet, you will notice these effects quite quickly.

The key to continuing the results you enjoy is variety. You will adapt to even the toughest of situations. Think back to the first time you did maths as a kid, and how easy those first sums would be if you attempted them right now. Your body does the same thing in the gym, so you must change it up from time to time. It will not change by request, you must force results from it.

Learning how to get abs is not as difficult as it once was. There is quality information out there and I encourage you to go find it in your own time. Look to develop your routines even further by adding weighted exercises into your workouts. Ignore the myth that weighted exercises will give you big, bulky, unattractive abs - the reason bodybuilders have bulky abs is the fact that they are using human growth hormone, which causes the intestines to bloat up and push their abs out, it has nothing to do with using weights during their abdominal workouts.
