Thought I’d share with you a conversation I heard in the gym today, which once again confirmed that there are still people out there who don’t understand how to get a six pack. I can’t remember it word for word but it went some thing like this…

1st man:  “I can’t believe I haven’t got a six pack yet, I doing hundreds of crunches every day!”

2nd man: “That’s no good, if you want your six pack to appear you need to be using a heavy weight or cable, that way the muscle will build up and start to show.”

 It went on further from this, I won’t go on though. Getting six pack abs isn’t an easy task, but it is however alot easier if you actually know how you should be going about trying to get them.

The best way to look at it is that you abs need to be revealed rather than built out. To reveal your abs you must remove the layer of fat that is covering them. No matter how many ab exercises you use, this will not get rid of that layer off at that covers them. This can only be done using a combination of cardio and dieting. Everyone has a six pack under there belly fat, the six pack is actually formed naturally by the abdominal muscles that everyone has. Exercising them with crunches or a similar exercise a couple of times a week will make them firmer and can even build them up a bit, but that is all, they will not strip away the fat that covers them!

I may offer the guys I mentioned above a bit of friendly advice if I see them in the gym again, help them along with there quest for a six pack.
