I'd like to tell you more about abdominals at this point but we've come to the end of the 4 part series and now it's simply time to get onto the workouts.

In short, you've learn about the two key concepts that are required to show off your abs in the first place. You've also discovered why nutrition is the most important part of any ab quest. And you are about to learn the final segment of 6-pack abs by utilizing some of the most important abdominal exercises. Moreover...

You won't be spending countless hours doing the same old boring ab work. This 6 month plan was molded to give you a well rounded routine and keep it interesting and challenging.

Not only will you be able to see your abs, you'll make your entire core stronger and that will translate into a stronger body overall.

So let me ask you...

Why would you ever spend another dime on a program or book when you've got the entire arsenal you need in this series to have professional bodybuilding abdominals? My strong hunch is...

After doing this 6 month program, eating right and lowering your body fat levels, you should be able to send me a personal success story.

Without further noise, let's get to the workouts!

Additional Tips for a Six Pack

Before you begin, it's recommended you understand how each exercise is performed to achieve the maximum results.

6-months-of-abs.html

Note: * A1 & A2, and following letter pairs reference joined exercises (supersets) One exercise A1 followed immediately without rest by A2.

Note: 4-point tempo explained: 2010 tempo = 2 = negative/eccentric action 0 = pause in stretch position 1 = positive/concentric action 0 = pause in contracted position

* You can substitute a crunch for a double crunch if you want the overall exercise to be more difficult.

* By doing a variety of movements, you are targeting all the areas of the midsection. Using bodyweight is usually preferred over heavy weights that tend to build up and thicken the midsection.

* Rep ranges in this program are suggested. Go for 'perceived' exertion. If you can do more, do more. Judge a set by how you feel not how many reps you do.

* Keep the tension on the abdominals at all times.

NoBull Bodybuilding

NoBull Bodybuilding Book Cover

NoBull Bodybuilding is an amazing new guide that finally tells you what to look for when beginning your fitness journey. It's a resource you can use to cut thru the hype and quickly start working on your goals.

Sure, there are tons of diets and training programs, but they simply don't apply to "newbies." They're either too scientific or the programs are designed for advanced trainees.

The advanced game is different in almost every aspect - workout frequency, training volume, recovery time and even supplementation. Until you learn proper strategy for a "beginner's physiology" and learn what mistakes to avoid, you could go the gym every day for the next 20 years and still not get the results that you want.

You're not likely to "figure out" these secrets on your own either - even the most advanced pros all had a "mentor" REVEAL these secrets to them somewhere along the path.

What has really been missing is a simple but complete system that covers all aspects of the game - nutrition, traing and supplementation - created by an experienced veteran, that ANYONE could use - even total beginners - to reach their maximum potential for muscle growth, fat loss or physical fitness in the shortest time possible.

Here is some of the critcal information every beginner must know before they start, which you will learn inside the beginners guide e-book:

  • The truth about how long it really takes to gain muscle mass and lose body fat (not the fairy tales you read about in the magazines and supplement ads)

  • How to avoid embarrassing yourself and looking like a "dork" the first time you work out in a gym: Instead of feeling intimidated or nervous, you'll be able to walk into the gym like you own the place (or... if you prefer to stay at home... you'll discover what equipment to buy and how to get started on a shoestring budget)

  • The facts about genetics and your ultimate potential for muscle mass or leanness: Discover the truth about genetic potential and whether you will ever have a chance to look like a bodybuilder or fitness model (don't worry... it's mostly good news... but there is a catch... and you do have to be realistic... If you start with unrealistic expectations, you're going to lose motivation and sabotage yourself)

  • What you can expect as a beginner if you're starting after the age of 40 (there are a few things you'll have to do differently than those youngsters - mess this up and you'll get hurt, overtrained or hormonally depleted)

  • Why steroids and performance enhancing drugs are totally unnecessary... IF you understand the facts about hormonally friendly training, nutrition and supplementation (these are safe and natural methods that work for permanent gains... if you take drugs you may look great now, but what about a few years from now?)
The Beginner's Guide e-book takes all the guesswork out of learning how to lose fat, gain muscle and sculpt your body into the exact shape and proportions you want. It also ends the need for searching for days through magazines, books and websites... which is like looking for a needle in a haystack ...
