The Lie Sixpack
On countless sites on the Internet and in various magazines, there are statements like these. What a bullshit! How will this work please? I can guarantee anyone that he can get a six pack in a given period, if I do not even know his current training status and physical condition. There is a widespread misconception that if you just enough sit-ups every day makes, simply get a six pack. The result is that people are struggling every day and hundreds of situps, crunches, etc. do. But success remains just out. Many give then eventually just stop.
Why? Simply because you – to get a six pack – must lower his body fat percentage. A man needs a body fat percentage of about 10%. Only the abdominal muscles are visible. A higher percentage of body fat, the abdominal muscles can still be so strong, they will be covered simply by a layer of fat. So if someone has a body fat percentage of 25% and weighs 100 kg, this means that he carries around 25 kg fat with it. That means he would lose over 15 pounds of fat to get his six-pack to the fore. This is achieved in 4 weeks (in a healthy way) to barely …
But if I make only enough abdominal muscle training, but I take fat from the abdomen.
No, you do not. It is not possible to specifically reduce fat in one place, it would make you be the one liposuction. If you want to know how to lose belly fat fast, you must lose fat all over my body. And anyway you will not succeed by abdominal training. You must change your diet and do something next to your strength training endurance training, to stimulate your metabolism. Proper nutrition is underestimated by many anyway – with the motto, if I only do enough sport I will also decrease.
How often should you train your abdominal muscles, ideally?
Actually it should have now got round that is the strength training usually less. Your muscles need sufficient time to relax – even on your belly. It makes no sense to train every day. Your body needs at least 48 hours to regenerate. Apart from this, few people have time hang out for hours every day in the gym. You have to understand that the muscle does not happen during exercise. In training you are upset by denial of your muscles in just the growth. The actual growth of your muscles occurs only during the recovery phase (ie the minimum 48 hours break from training) and is supported by proper nutrition.
In principle, one must say that the whole cannot generalize. Every person is different and therefore one needs perhaps a little more recovery after his weight training and the other slightly less. That’s what you need to find out for yourself. For example, I train for several months, only two times a week for about 45 minutes, and I am extremely pleased with my results.
This means that my stomach muscles also only train 2 times a week (ie every 3-4 days), and each session there are little more than 5 minutes. In any case, you should at a maximum three days a week do ab work to bring your six-pack to grow.
