Due to the recent interest in the Ab Article by Todd Abrams and all of the questions I get on the subject, I have decided to bring you some more info on the subject of ABS.%20(1).jpeg)
Whether you are a competitor, just the average fitness junky or beach goer looking to stay in shape, everyone wants a killer mid section. It is said “Abs are made in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym” which is very true.
Over the next few paragraphs I will break down the different parts that make up your abdominal area and leave you with a sample workout that targets each group. The truth is that everyone has abs. The difference is that many times they’re hidden under a layer of fat just waiting to be exposed. Once dieted down to under 10% for men and 13% for women, abs will appear.
There
are so many myths, stories and folklore on how to achieve a perfect toned, tight midsection or the so glorified “Six Pack”. Many self-proclaimed gurus out there today are marketing how to become the next Greek God with ripped and shredded ABS in the next 30 days and are making millions off our quest to have everything now.
So how do we achieve this magnificent six-pack? What are the best tips for getting a ripped and shredded midsection? I am really glad this question did not contain the word ‘fast’ included in it because like they say “Rome was not built in one day” and so isn’t your body. Getting ripped basically means you have enough muscle to be seen with a low body fat percent. So the best tips I can give people to lose unwanted body fat are the following:
With 
the summer creeping up on us once again many of you will want to hit the beach, local swimming pools or walk the streets without a shirt. This is Fine, but you shouldn’t be doing this if you have nothing noteworthy to show. So how do you get your abs to look sculpted? All you have to do is follow the simple circuit routine and they will be ready in time for the sunshine.
For
the past 6 months or so I’ve been putting a lot of emphasis on bringing up my Delts, Bis and Tris. In order to maximize my training frequency for these muscle groups I started training all three together 3 times per week. Although I’m using much less overall volume per muscle group per training session the results have been significant!
In
any training phase, whether it is a phase of adding muscle or reducing body fat, the relationship between diet and training is key to success. Like any relationship, it will fail if both sides do not work synergistically, changes on one side must be made with consideration and respect to the other and vice versa...
Delts. 
Boulders. Cannonballs. Caps. Regardless of what you call them, everyone wants nice shoulders, right? Having a great pair of shoulders is vitally important if you’re a competitor because so much of what the judges are looking for has to do with your shoulder to waist ratio.
In the following paragraphs and the accompanying video link, I want to briefly talk about the muscles that make up the shoulder, highlight my approach for training shoulders and demonstrate a series of exercises that will get your caps to pop.
A 
great composer can take a small musical motif and turn it into complete composition. In much the same way, workouts can be designed by taking a small number of foundational movement patterns (ex. Lower Body/Upper Body Push/Upper Body Pull) and organizing them into different structural formats. Between the vast array of possible exercises and many structural formats available the possible variations are almost endless.
Summer
is around the corner! You may have slacked off the last few months but don’t panic. Here are three easy tips that require you to do some dropping of your own.
1. Drop the carbohydrates!
If you’re trying to bring your best, whether or not you’re out of shape or in shape, dropping the carbohydrates will put a little extra gas in the tank on the way to your lean physique. A 2008 study published in the journal Hepatology found those who stuck to a low carbohydrate diet lost on average a little over 9.7 pounds within 2 weeks, having an increased fat burn over those who stuck to a low calorie diet and even burning fat off the liver which has been associated with different ailments, including obesity and diabetes. The low carbohydrate group were restricted to less than 20/g per day. Having been on a low to zero carbohydrate diet myself, I can tell you it is no easy task, but the results are undeniable!
