Your six pack abs quest
Common Questions and Answers about Your six pack abs quest
six-pack
For a six-pack to show, you must reduce body fat. The body fat percentage necessary to reveal a cut torso varies according to your genes and body type, but for most men, a percentage of 6 to 8 percent will reveal abs, while for women require a percentage of about 11 to 13 percent. To reduce body fat, reduce calories below what you burn daily, which can be determined by finding your basal metabolic rate. A 250- to 500- deficit daily will lead to a 1/2- to 1-pound weight loss in a week.

Hi Everyone, I have been trying these for months and months but it doesn’t help me anymore. I am talking about six pack abs that I am trying to get. I joined a gym for this and the trainer told me that I would get them…but NOOOO!! That did not help me and later on I have tried a few tips that I have been suggested by my friends but that also was of no use (the whole thing helped the abs a little…but not as I wanted).
However, the length of time it takes to get-six pack abs depends upon your gender, how consistently you train and whether or not you have an excess amount of body fat.
Strength train consistently and follow a hypertrophy, or muscle building, program. That's a high frequency of training sessions, with each session being of high volume. Rectus abdominus muscles like all muscles in your body require a rest from strength training, so allow 48 hours of recovery time between training sessions.
Not that anyone knows how to best work the abs, though, as far as I can tell. For six pack abs, quite frankly, most who have them don't get them through exercise -- it's a sure sign of steroid use, since the belly should have some fat. You'll never see agricultural or hunter-gatherer cultures with flat stomachs. Other than this, the above post is right on.
I'm a nice guy when people aren't trying to flummox other people. What are we here for but to help other people instead of spreading misinformation, which is something you do a lot -- I don't think you do it unintentionally, I just think you do it because you read a lot of things and like to report them as if they're fact and not theory based on limited research.
Hi people, everyone has concerns about the well being of their child I too have some. Lately, he is getting mad to get the abs (six pack abs as they call it). I don’t think that this is something bad but the ways he is trying is a bit crazy. He believes all that is being told to him and I can’t figure out how he can get them without training the right way with the right exercises.
It just takes a lot of discipline, and you have to be willing to take it to the extreme! Diet is a major factor!! Avoid deep fried foods, processed foods, refined foods and foods high in saturated fats. Eat foods that are nutrient-dense, high in fiber and low in fat, eat lean meats, low fat dairy, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and legumes.
No liquid calories.
get on the floor on all fours with your hands below your shoulders and your knees below your hips. Lift your hips and walk your feet backward slightly to straighten your legs, assuming a pushup position. Hold for at least 10 seconds.
Roll to your left side so that your hips are off the floor, your right hip is above your left hip and your legs stacked. Support your body with your left arm and the outside of your left foot. Hold this position for 10 seconds or more, then switch sides.

It's not muscle memory lol.. it's that after ur 1st ur stomach muscles are not as tight as a 1st timer so it shows faster cuz it's loose. But if u exercised n worked on ur abs n they r strong then it will be the same as a 1st timer. This is my 3 n I exercises n had a six pack after my pregnancies so even on my 3rd I didn't show til 25 weeks.
At this rate, most people may achieve six-pack abs in anywhere from three to 20 months, depending on your current body fat level.
Simple steps can help you reduce body fat to achieve a healthier body composition. Skipping sugary soda, limiting processed foods and becoming more physically active helps you get leaner and healthier but won't reveal a six-pack.
To go from a lean body fat level— say, 12 percent as a man to six-pack lean, you'll need to do more precise eating and exercise.
A push-up not only helps you to get a stronger upper body, but also a stronger midsection. It incorporates the stabilization muscles of your core, combining an upper-body pushing movement with a plank. It is, in fact, one of the best and most basic exercises for your midsection.
Push-ups are a higher value plank.
Notice how you tighen your abs even when doing biceps curls. However if you are not training all your body parts then 2 would be okay.....but not more.
Just make sure your perform high intensity and that your abs are a bit sore. Then wait until they are not sore before going back at it
But seriously go to www.bodybuilding.com
They have tons of articles by professional and the site is free to become a member. You can even join there bodyspace where you can track your progess.
s possible to build six-pack abs through cardio workouts alone if you engage the core muscles. Running, tennis, kickboxing and rowing all use the core to stabilize the upper body during the workout. The abs engage, and at the same time get stronger and more defined.
Doing ab exercises is the best way to sculpt the six-pack.
Unfortunately there isn't enough information about what you're exercise routine is. If all you're doing is cardio and legs...... You're not necessarily going to lose weight and it definitely won't get you a six pack. You're nutrition is going to be about 90% of it but if you want to see those abs you're going to need to change up your routine.
52, doc gave me valtrex and i took it for 2 weeks and was rechecked at quest lab and results was 4.82, i stopped the meds and was recently rechecked again and went back to labcorp on 4/19 and got a lower result of 1.39.
my question is could this still be a false positive?
if i am truley positive wouldnt my results stay high?
i asked similar question to doc and she thinks its still possible to be negative and i did order pack for western blot and awaiting having that done.
You get a flat stomach by dieting, any exercise will help build some muscle there but most people have a six pack underneath the fat already, and everyone has a "flat stomach underneath the fat.. This is why and on skinny guys don't count :P
Also, a lot of people's pooch or whatever you call it has a lot to do with inflammation of the digestive track.
I WILL accept negative test at six month mark. Which one would you advise to take? ELISA(quest) or icma(labcorp)? That's all I am asking. Please answer and I will not ask anymore of you.
if you are in the US, your provider can order it through your local quest lab - test #34534. If you don't have a quest lab near you, you can order the kit from the U of washington and your provider can draw the blood and send it for you or order the kit to be used at your local lab and sent for you.
quest no longer offers the WB blood test. how to get one is listed in our read before posting post on the forum if you've forgotten from our previous discussion.
you really don't need the WB, your 2nd test was a clear positive that confirmed that your first low positive was indeed a false positive.
Syphilis
Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test with reflex to Quantitative RPR
RPR (Monitor) w/Refl Titer
FTA-ABS
non-reactive 1:1
NEGATIVE
I was told that the first test they ran I was "positive" and then they ran the second test and I was "negative"
1. Can you explain why I would be positive on one and no the other?
2. What does that mean the a Dr. when they see that result?
3. What could possibly cause 1 test to show the disease and the second to not????
