How To Get A 6 Pack Fast

If I were to take a survey of 100 people and ask them which part of their body they would like to have sculpted 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 much sought after thing and you'll be glad to know that achieving them is not the most difficult task in the world to achieve - but nor is it the simplest.

Before I go into some details on how to go about achieving these sexy abs, let's dispel some myths which you have more than likely been exposed to on several occasions.

Myth 1 - You have to follow a starvation diet for your abs to become visible.

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! So,in order to get energy, guess what gets sacrificed? That's right, your muscles!

Myth 2 - You need to buy workout equipment

Is it just me or are there more ab exercise machines on TV infomercials than ever before. 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 don't get sucked in by these 'ab workout gimmicks' unless you want to be flat broke!

Myth 3 - Getting eye popping abs requires you to do hundreds of crunches every day.

Crunches are a pretty good exercise but they have become totally overused and hyped as the answer to all your abs problems. The thing about crunches is that they are a very general exercise and general exercises tend to produce general results. Doing excessive floor crunches can actually be harmful and result in poor posture. Another negative is that they involve a low level of stimulation which neglects adequate muscle fiber recruitment.

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. To get the thick, dense abs you long for, you have to train them with intensity and overload. If you want to be the 'da man' or 'da lady' at your local gym, the one with the ripped and muscular six pack, folow the following advice carefully..

Tip 1 - Work your abs at the START of your workout!

I often see guys leaving their abs to the end of their workout in the gym, by which stage they are very tired and have very little energy or focus left to start intensive abs exercises. Some so called experts say 'don't train your abdominals first because it only causes your core muscles to be weak for the rest of the session'. I think this is nonsense and I've never received a satisfactory answer to convince me otherwise. If it's your abs that need the most attention, then ALWAYS train them first.

Tip 2 - Work your abs more rather than less!

Do you think working a muscle group once a week or twice a week (provided a rest period has occurred between workouts) will help build the most muscle? It's a bit of a no-brainer eh? Of course its twice a week. The more stress muscles are put under, the more noticable the results, end of story. So you should ideally be training your abs 2-4 times each week for the rest of 2009!

Tip 3 - For optimum results, don't focus on just one type of abdominal exercise.

You need to know the basic movement patterns of your abs and then train the following:

Trunk Flexion (upper abs)
Hip Flexion (lower abs)
Rotation (obliques)
Lateral Flexion (obliques)

Most of your abs exercise up to this point have probably focused on just one of these movements i.e trunk flexion (upper abs). A full sit-up is a perfect example of this.

Do the following exercises to cover each major ab movement:

Hip Flexion - Lying hip raise and incline raise
Trunk Flexion - Swiss ball crunch and weighted Swiss ball crunches
Rotation - Russian twist and weighted Russian twist
Lateral Flexion - Back extension machine and lateral extension with medicine ball over head

Perform this workout at least twice a week with a minimum 48 hrs rest between each. Choose a load that causes failure within 8-12 reps. Rest 1-2 mins between sets until you reach 4.

If you follow all this advice and perform these exercises you WILL see your 6 pack abs developing nicely. If you still can't, then the truth is that you need to improve your diet to make them visible!
