Getting A Six Pack

Posted by Vinesh on January 23rd, 2008

Hi.. new here? To get regular updates/news from this site why don't you subscribe to my RSS feed or sign up for email updates. Thanks for visiting!

In the previous post, I discussed what a six pack is, now I will discuss on stuff required to get the six pack.

1.) Fat burning throughout the day (High Metabolism)
2.) Minimal fat intake
3.) considerable muscle
4.) proper cardio

note: It is not neccesarily to apply all of the mentioned ideas below, but try as many as you can to increase the speed at which results will be visible.

Several ways around it, the more you apply the better.

Lifestyle changes:
a.) Drink atleast 3 litres of water a day.
b.) Consider Trying Yoga fat burner in the workouts category in the morning.
c.) Consider fat burning substances like Green tea, try hot water with lemon extract too, boosts metabolism quite a bit.
d.) tap your feet a lot throughout the day (stupid but effective)
e.) rub your thumbs with each other for 2 mins thrice a day (refloxology)
f.) Take as many as deep breaths as possible throughout the day, oxygen helps in burning fat and deep breaths increase metabolism
g.) Avoid smoking (damages oxygen flow), Avoid drinking (other than red wine once a week)
h.) Invest in massages if you can
i.) Make sure your gym has a sauna which you can frequent twice a week.

Diet changes:
a.) Eat at intervals of 150-180 minutes.
b.) Make sure you dont mix carbohydrates and protein.
c.) The food you eat should not have oil, butter, cheese, ghee, sugar, margarine.
d.) Avoid Plain carbs as in White bread, pasta, rice, potatoes.
e.) DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST
f.) Do not eat 150 minutes prior to going to bed.
g.) Make sure you are getting adequate protein. Required amount is 1.5 times your bodyweight (in Kilograms).
h.) Sources of natural protein include: fish, turkey, chicken, egg whites, tofu, chick peas, beans.
i.) make sure none of the above are fried, prefer boiled, roasted or toasted
j.) If you are vegeterian, Protein supplements is a good idea (Personal recommendation: ON 100% Whey)
k.) If your budget is flexible, A time released protein blend will help you lean up quicker.
l.) If you are above 18, with atleast 1 yr. of bodybuilding experience and with a good budget, lookout for NO Boosters (example: NO EXPLODE from BSN)
m.) Whenever possible, start your meal with a fruit.
n.) Raw vegetables are abundant in vitamins and can fill you up, you can use them as a meal.
o.) If you are eating out, avoid bread and eat more of the vegetables and start with a soup.
p.) If you starve, you are going to get fatter
q.) Eat slowly, till the food becomes liquid in your mouth
r.) sip in water between meals.
s.) if you are thin it doesn’t mean you can madly munch on carbs and fats.
t.) Start with a detox

Workout Changes:
a.) Make sure you are not working on just your abs, muscles burn fat and there are much larger muscle groups like lats, hams, etc.
b.) Make sure you do 20-25 mins of cardio AFTER the weight training.
c.) Warm up and cool down with stretches. Stretches result in finer muscle tone.
d.) Believe in variety, keep shocking your body to get quicker results.
e.) Don’t go slow, go at a medium-fast pace but KEEP YOUR FORM INTACT
f.) Make sure your cardio is kind of complicated with inclines, speeds as high as you can maintain
g.) Don’t use machines: My personal opinion
h.) Try to include equipment which forces balance such as a resistance ball, a medicine ball.
i.) Make sure you do 10 pushups daily and as often as you can with a very fast form.
j.) take proper rests but make emasure they dont exceed 40 seconds.
k.) try things like kicking and skipping at home whenever you get the chance.
l.) Keep pushing your limits.

Shahrukh Khan and six pack abs

Posted by Vinesh on January 23rd, 2008

I have recieved several emails regarding six packs after the release of the song ‘dardedisco’ in which Shahrukh flaunts off a pretty lean body at the age of 40.

Many of the mails I recieved went like: I am doing 50 crunches (or ABS) a day and not seeing any results.

or

What is Shahrukh’s secret?

Now before we move on to getting a six pack, which I will make an entirely different post out of, let me just tell what is a six pack to begin with.

Six Packs are visible on people whose fat% is below 12 (10 for some). Why? Because fat which is around muscles is GONE. VANISHED. VROOM. WHOOSH. What remains is the visibility of the muscle.

I would like the skinny guys reading this to understand that they don’t neccesarily have a low bodyfat %.

*If I have a low bodyfat %, will my six pack show?*

Not neccesarily, I mean if the fat leaves there should also be a bit of muscle to flaunt.

Moving on to the King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan.

From SRK Himself, we understand he maintained a very low fat, high protein diet and indulged in a lot of toning workouts and cardio.

As well as took up fat burners before flaunting the abs.

So what is his secret? NONE!

The reason it works for him more easily than it could for us is the wee bit of a difference of budget in millionaire him and us.

I mean come on, eating completely right, working out at extremely proper timings requires free time, equipment-nutrition budget and the comfort to lie down for endless hours once he is done working out.

So is it impossible for us to get a six pack? Definitely not but its much harder too, requires major lifestyle changes, a lot of effort and constant motivation.
