What
do you believe are the
most
important aspects in
achieving
great abs?
When
I'm trying to get ripped up I work out with moderate weights and do
around 15-20 reps per exercise. My split routine is 2 days on, one
day off, 2 days on and 2 days off. I break my body parts into one Legs
day, chest-biceps day, Back day and shoulders-triceps day. I trying to
keep my workouts under 1 hour, otherwise excess stress hormones (cortisol),
will ruin the body and drive it into catabolism.
When
I'm trying to achieve a hard-look I take a lot of supplements in order
to accomplish it. Here is a list of what I take usually: Whey Protein,
L-glutamine, BCAA aminos, multivitamin and multimineral supplements, cla,
fish oil, fat burning supplement, Aminos and ZMA (a
mineral formula which contains the anabolic minerals magnesium and
zinc). As far as my cardio sessions are concerned I do them five times a week
and sometimes six at around 45-50 min each. I usually do them after my
afternoon workout as it is the second best time to do them (first thing
in the morning being then best) If you
have time and you can perform your cardio first thing in
the morning with an empty stomach, I encourage you to do it because at
this time of the day the blood sugar is very low and your body will rely
on fat for fuel.
As
far as my abs sessions are concerned, this is very simple and fast. I
perform ab workouts only three times a week and no more, at around 20min
each session. One workout is a superset training with various ab exercises and
the other might be performed on a swiss ball (a very effective method of
doing your abs).
MEAL
LIST:
8
AM - 40-50 grams protein along with 50 grams of oatmeal.
11
AM - one protein shake
with one small apple.
1 PM
- one protein serving with some efa's.
3PM
- 300
grams turkey along with 50 grams of brown rice and a salad with one
tablespoon full olive oil.
6PM
- a tin of tuna,
10PM
- immediately after my workout
50grams protein and 50 grams glucose drink.
Here
is my bulking diet. As you see the only difference is that I add more
starchy carbs.
8AM
- 50grams protein and 100 oatmeal
11AM
- one Myoplex Deluxe along with one apple
1PM
- one apple along with 2
yogurts 2% fat
3PM
- 350g beef or chicken along with 100 brown rice or pasta
6PM
- a can of tuna or salmon with 50 grams rice
11PM
- after
workout:50g/75g protein/glucose mix
Tip: In the last meal of the
day I never eat starchy carbs cause afterwards I go to bed almost
immediately.
A
basic tip as you can see for yourself is to maintain your blood sugar in
low levels by trying to eat carbs with a low glycemic index rating, otherwise
excess insulin will ruin your body and make you fat!
Good
luck with the Sixpacknow Program.
