Shooting for 6 pack abs

[Robmeister]

Well aint no way in hell im gonna post my belly on here

THANK GOD !!

Actually I'm quite proud of my wifey-poo--The Lovely Mrs. Meister (TLMM).

While engaging in uninhibited animalistic intercourse, I noticed she is not far from achieving an abdominal six-pack of her own.  She has achieved the top 4, with the bottom 2 not that far behind......the thing is she'll be 45 next month !!!

She's quite the studdette, I must say ......Actually a bit leaner tummy than young J.C. here

......Utilizing my baby-step approach, she's been doing those incline sit-ups where ya hold a small medicine ball above yer head, tossing it through a hoop at the top....and grabbing another m.ball for the next rep.   PRETTY INTENSE.

Way to go, J.C. .... don't mean to steal your thunder.   That's a tough feat.

Nice job man! You're well on your way. I'm trying to do the same. I have the top most 2 boxes in, the next 2 starting to come in, and the last two no where in sight 

They say abs starts in the kitchen, so I've significantly changed my diet, which normally consisted of lots of pizza, burgers, and coca cola. Cutting out the coca cola was the toughest for me, I swear I'm addicted to it. But now I usually try and eat plain oatmeal with splenda in the morning, with some grapefruit juice. For lunch I'll have some type of salad with chicken or fish in it. And then for dinner, no carbs, just vegetables and lean meats. I've only recently started this type of change in my diet, and I'm not going to lie and tell you its easy, I definitely find myself craving.

And then I usually run for 30 minutes 4 times a week, I play hockey once a week (which is easily good for a 1000+ calorie burn), and then take two off days where I'll just do pushups/abs.

I think the only thing that will hold me back is going out and drinking. I'm relatively young so I still go out Thurs-Sat night, and that usually involves quite a large amount of beer consumption. If I can cut that back, I should be good. That's sort of the last hurdle I need to overcome.

I know I have trouble with the Gin n Tonics, which tends to add the calories as you said. Moderation is the key to all of it.

I've got the abs just have to find them.

I just love eating too much - I can't shift the soft layer around the middle.
I run in the mornings and train in Kung Fu twice a week.  Unfortunately my job keeps me sat behind a desk all day and some may say that at 42 I'm not the ideal age.
Looks like you're getting there.

My wife has pretty amazing ab definition.  She hits the gym 4 times a week, dances (ballet, disco and other stuff) 3 times a week and runs around after me and the boys so she hasn't got much fat.

They are definently possible to attain and keep dude.  Are you a member of a gym at all?  You in any classes that are physically straining?

If anyone’s got a secret, I’d be up for hearing it!
I work out hard 3-4x a week and have been doing so for 15 years.
Still, I can’t get the elusive six-pack. The best I can get is a little vertical definition.

I would guess that 75% of the men I see regularly at the gym are sly or have less than a full head of hair.  This seems to be a motivating factor for many individuals to get/stay in shape.
Perhaps nature has intended it to be this way. Our species is able to survive better if we remain in good physical condition. Just a thought.

Very uplifting to hear. I have been on a pretty intense fitness regime for the last 2 months. I'm on a calorie controlled diet, I have lost 17 lbs and I am starting to see some small defintion in the upper abdominal area. I usually do around 100 crunches a day and 40-50 push ups plus weight training. I run every night for 1/2 hour. I've cut out alcohol entireley. that was always a big deal for me as I liked to have a beer after work but they are laden with so many calories.

Just curious, how many calories a day do you try and limit yourself to, if you dont mind me asking?

1500 Calories per day.

It has been workin great when combined with exercise and training. My wife is on the same diet and she has lost 12 lbs. She is on 1200 per day.

Thanks JDog! I definitely need to start trying to cut down. I think I need to start writing down what I eat, just to get an idea of how much I am intaking everyday.

Bludger good plan. That is what happened to me. I never cared what I ate and some days I'd probably consume 2000-3000 calories a day. When you arent exercising and burning those calories off, they turn into fat.

For all you guys who want 6 pack abs, its not really that hard.  Im getting closer and closer.  I know a bunch of y'all are probably shakin your heads thinking there is no way taht lazy SOB can get up out of that office chair and do any type of excercise other than to exercise is jaw muscles to woof down those hostesses cakes in the morning.  Well SURPRISE SURPRISE! YOu just wait...cause like I said it is real easy.  All I do is jump in the truck.  I know now you are thinking...what? Jump in a truck.  Yulp thats all there is to it...Jump in the truck.  Then drive to the local liquor store ..buy you a six pack .  If you are from around these neck of the woods everyone has a roll of duct tape in their truck.  Just take the six pack..lay em out flat...still in the ring holders...3 on each side...tape em to your beer belly.  Waalaaa...... a instant 6 pack. See told you it wasnt hard...
