I have a visible six pack :D

I just used to look at Bruce Lee and had tried each and every stomach exercise available in the book, sit ups crunches, isometrics, you name it, I had done it :)

It was only after two months that I had visibly seen a difference.

If you can tighten your stomach while breathing normally then you have got a six pack

Also concentrate on endurance type of exercises heavily, continous kicking, skippin' sprintin' [not jogging] etc etc

Don't sweat you will get it easily if you try :)

But strengthening it is more important and difficult ;)

Need a partner for this one! lie on your back with you partner standing over your head, steady yourself by holding onto him or something sturdy. Throw your legs up at him with your back touching the ground still. He throws your legs forward, you don't let them touh the ground, swing them back up, he throws them left, then repeat to the right, do until you feel like puking. If anyone knows the name for these or a better way to explain them I'd appreciate it. Other than that excersize, try to work on the sides of your abs just as much as the middle, it'll make that six pack bulge!!

Robert is correct.

A Six pack is built in the kitchen - not in the gym.

Sort of 2 plus two half ones, a four pack! :D

But I'm getting there ;)

Cain

05-Feb-2003, 02:29 PM

Then I guess I am the only one with a complete six pack :D

Whats so great about a six pack? Ask anyone what they prefer, a six pack, or a keg!

05-Feb-2003, 07:04 PM

I always feel weaker when I loose weight......

I'm happy around 14(ish)stone :)

06-Feb-2003, 05:31 AM

Real six pack here!! always did want a keg though, can play the drums!

Cain

06-Feb-2003, 05:36 AM

Just for a perspective

My partner does not have a visible six pack, but he can easily tighten his stomach like hell, his conditioning is wat u call....unearthly

On the other side, I can withstand a puch or two but on the third one, I feel it goin' 'inside'

Cripes cain, your power of double entendres is amazing

Cain

06-Feb-2003, 11:56 AM

Well, the other reason could be -

I punch like a wuss ;)

|Cain|

Cain

06-Feb-2003, 12:07 PM

Puttin' it in simpler words -

He's too good for me :D

The point was that you can already have a six pack and tighten your stomach to withstand, but sometimes it is not visible, I dunno why.....maybe because of the fat between the muscles and the skin......

|Cain|

NosX

06-Feb-2003, 12:50 PM

i can hold a few punches to the stomach but i need to loose like another 10 pounds lol

Cain

06-Feb-2003, 12:54 PM

Losin' weight.....lol Tkdwarrior has a lengthy answer for this one I bet :D

My suggestion -

Concentrate on stamina and endurance heavily

I don't specifically follow any particular diet, but I heard it is an important part of ur training

Just out of curiosity... biking uphill against the wind for an hour or so is a better way to burn fat, right? (yeah I actually do this)

Sprinting backwards up a hill against the wind while carrying your bike is even better.:D

I've always wanted a 6 pack stomach but simply doing Aikido twice a week and the excersise bike nearly every day for an hour wasn't doing it for me.

A few months ago, my family got one of those Gazelle exercise gliders and I LOVE it! :love: It's fun to do and it's a great work out. I can tell that I'm stronger in Aikido and it has definitly firmed me up in places that needed to be (:o ). I can also tell that I'm getting the much desired 6 pack! For me, it's been a very worth while machine! :love:

hmm listen to fuzzy panther... :D
huh cain i wont' add much to loosing weight this time around...
man i just can't survive without eating...
guess i weigh around 90 kgs :o ... that's at least 13 kg overweight n still didn't loose power :D
taking punches to stomach doesn't depend much on six pack...
if u hav fat around it, it''ll be also good :D don't ask me, ask my teacher, he's overweight around 13-15 kgs too but man the time i punched him in his stomach i felt i lost my hand, his abdomen was do damn hard ...
anyways from my experience n my teachers i can tell Fat doesn't mean that u'll be slow or lazy. its all in mind :)
anyways u know i m not even using a single muscles for workout so 13 kgs was obvious ;)
tho i think i still can write an article about loosing weight :D(wat an irony LoL??)

to get my six pack(which is now an 8-pa) i found a place where i could turn upside down fo as many sets of 20 ass u can fall rest do it all over again.....only thing is u will feel the tightness if u really wanna burn and get it fast and get it hard..cuz mosty when u facing a puch to the gut its and upward motion to ur lower abdominals need to be stronger so this way u get them stonger plus u get the desired suts u want.....if u burn out on them every day fo 2 weeks u will see the results...i used to box and kickbos thats how i got mine and then i wasnt that big in the first place....well when u do this in set of 20's u will be hella tight but it will feel good

11-Feb-2003, 04:44 AM

how do u turne upside down speed dragon? n wat kind of sets u r taklin about?

11-Feb-2003, 05:20 AM

I think I have an idea wat he is talking about......I will first wait for him to answer first.....

BTW, Tkdwarrior, u r damn rite about the fat thingy, it does'nt really matter not to have a six pack, I am sure you hv seen my teacher :D

|Cain|

Jazman

11-Feb-2003, 05:28 AM

does anyone know the most pack that is possible?(or you could just tell me the number of abdomen muscles) one of my old friends, gymnast, had about an 18 pack. Just curious

I have a complete six pack. I've just been keeping it in the cooler for a long time. I am working on thawing it out these days.:cool:

You can concentrate all you want on trying to get that ab 6-pack but if (as was alot of folks posted already) your diet is high in fat and your bodyfat percentage is high, you're never going to see it ... except Ken's way!!!
I read that for men, the time to put more effort into your ab workout is when your body fat percentage is around 9%. That's when the 6-pack becomes visible....and for women, that "groove" (not really a 6-pack) that runs down the center of the stomach, starts to show at a bodyfat percentage of around 18%. (I have 3 more to go!!!!)

kchenault

05-Mar-2003, 05:54 PM

MAN! That bodyfat is a stubborn cuss! I can't wait for the cold weather to go bye-bye. I need to get back on schedule w/my exercise. It's too dang cold to be walking in this weather. Just had an icestorm last night. Shutdown parts of I-70.
Hopefully by summers end, I'll start seeing more of my thawed out six pack.

KickChick

05-Mar-2003, 06:17 PM

oops I believe I misunderstood you Ken. When you said "cooler" I thought of y'know the place where you put "beer" LOL ... (oh there's Jack too ;) )... but oh well, there I go again with my one track mind!
Oh and needless to say "beer" ain't good for that 6-pack LOL

kchenault

05-Mar-2003, 06:29 PM

LOL! That's okay Deb. You know, a cooler, large insulated container (read fat gut) to keep "six packs" in (read ab muscles).

Cain, Ken is kchenault ///"the one with the 6-pack n the cooler"

True, it has been way too cold in these parts to even "think" about exposing our middles!!
We'll be concentrating more on the 6 packs once it starts to warm up and we start shedding these layers of thermal clothing!!

TkdWarrior

yup u want fat on ur body almost invisible ;)

whats the best exercise to do for the lower half?

Cain

06-Mar-2003, 10:51 PM

Don't think there's a best exercise........the best advice I can give is crunch, crunch and crunch some more :D

Actually, that's real. Bodybuilders call it "Turtle belly," it happens when your internal organs expand from doing too many anabolic steriods without proper cycling and HPTA recovery.

Cain

12-Mar-2003, 06:49 PM

Khafra, I have been wondering.....are you a fitness expert or a doctor or something?

|Cain|

khafra

13-Mar-2003, 03:48 PM

Heh--I guess you could call me a little bit of a self-taught fitness expert. I'm lazy, but want to look good-so I try to learn enough to make the most of every workout. And I want this body to last me as long as possible, too. And I have 'satiable curiousity, like Rudyard Kipling's Elephant Chile'

Cain

13-Mar-2003, 06:04 PM

I see, we have many physicists on this forum but I guess I would call you a biologist 'cause you seem to know an awful lot of body conditioning :D

I went to LA with at least a 4 pack.

I came home with a definate 1 pack!

THEY STOLE MY ABS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 10oz steaks for breakfast & "all you can eat" pig-outs may have something to do with it. LOL!

lol. damn those steaks *shakes fist*

Cain

20-Mar-2003, 08:35 AM

Naaah! Eat as many steaks as u want, just do 50 more crunches for every steak u eat :D

|Cain|

YODA

20-Mar-2003, 11:12 AM

How's that gonna help Cain?

Tosh

20-Mar-2003, 11:23 AM

I know how!

1) Fill up on 16oz steak
2) Do 50 crunches
3) Puke

Violla!

Cain

20-Mar-2003, 01:04 PM

Hey I never said to do those crunches right after u finish those steaks :D

Think of those extra crunches as punishments for gobbling those steaks :D

The theory is, u eat one steak, u loose 2 packs and then u do 50 crunches, or 100 for u Yoda :D and gain 4 packs, that's 2 more packs :D

u see, put as much time in exercising as u put in eating, I bet this will solve a hell of a lot of probs :D
