13 Tips to Get 6 Pack Abs Fast!
If you want to get 6 pack abs then there are some things you’re going to want to make sure you get right. In this video, I’m revealing my greatest tips for getting 6 pack abs fast. As you would expect, these will be a mix of nutrition and workout tips for abs. You simply cannot get a ripped six pack
What’s up guys Jeff Cavaliere Althleanx. com. So, six pack abs is what you came here for, but the number 13 is what’s going to get you them the fastest. You see, I put together my best 13 tips, both nutrition and training to make sure that you complete that journey to a six pack once and for all. Which, by the way, starts in the bathroom.
So, the first thing on the list actually has to do with the first thing that you need to do in the morning. And that is you need to reach for this before you reach for this to jump in the shower. And that’s because we wake up most often in a dehydrated state. So, what I want you to do is drink 16 to 20 ounces of water upon waking, I mean before you do anything else. You see, it starts the habit early and you can continue this, maybe you need one of those reminder water bottles, but water is going to be essential because if we don’t have it, every other training tip and even every other nutrition tip in this video is going to suffer if you don’t.
So now when it comes to the training side of getting six pack abs, the sequence of the exercises you perform is actually more important than the exercises themselves. I know that surprises you, but I want to show you how to get this right every single time. All right focus when you’re looking at ab exercises on what’s actually moving. Because these are the same exercises, but they’re done in different orders. If I focus on what’s moving, I see the top and the bottom in that exercise.
I see the top moving but the legs staying still here, and I see the legs moving and the top staying still. Well, what is the right order? This is not right. Because what we want to do to get the most out of your ab workout is go this way. You want the bottom-up movements where just the legs are moving to come first and that’s because we need the most energy at the beginning of the workout to handle these moves because we have to lift the additional weight of our legs.
These are always going to be the most difficult exercises you do. Next, we want to still focus on any exercise that’s got the legs moving, but the top is moving too, you’re getting that additional in this case from the obliques so you’re able to do it after you’re a little bit fatigued here. The last exercises that you put into your workout are always going to be the ones that just move the top, because no matter what state of fatigue you’re in, you’re still going to always perform these movements without compromising the overall effect of the workout. All right so now piggyback that on top of that division half for your workout, I got one here for your plate too where we actually want to divide your plate. Because if you do this nutrition will become a lot more simple for you.
If you visualize looking down at your plate, think of it as a clock. Right? And if we look down at the clock, all I want you do to is focus on two times, 9:00 and 9:20. Once you do that, the rest is easy because all you do is then portion out your plate with different components or macronutrients. In the largest portion here, that’s where you go with your fibrous carbohydrates, right?
You’re leafy vegetables, your green vegetables, the things that crunch. I have a whole list of them for you on our website, I’ll link it down in the description below. Second you then fill up that portion of the plate, the second largest portion, with protein. And again, it doesn’t matter if you’re following a vegan diet or you’re a meat eater, your proteins go here in this proportion. And then you fill up the rest of your plate with your starchy carbohydrates, and notice I’m not avoiding them entirely, I think they’re an important part of a healthy balanced nutrition plan, but they do get the smallest portion because we tend to overeat those if we’re given free reign.
And then over the top of it all is our incidental fat. Not piling it on, but more so cooking with it. The fact is guys, when you divide your plate like this nutrition becomes a lot easier, counting calories is not something that you have to do and at the end of the day when we get our nutrition in check the six pack abs are a hell of a lot easier to see. So, counting calories isn’t the only thing I hate counting, I actually think counting reps is one of the worst ways you can go about your ab workouts. You see what you need to do is you need to stop counting reps and instead make them count.
And that means trading in quantity for quality. See, if your ab workouts look like this, I can guarantee you’re not getting the most out of them. Speeding through repetitions just to reach a certain number is not going to get you the results you want. Instead, they should look more like this. And I know it looks slow and I know it looks deliberate, but really what you’re getting is a quality contraction.
So, instead of counting reps, if you count the contractions you’d actually be on the right path. And again, it doesn’t matter how long it takes you, as long as you accumulate good repetitions here, what looks like it’s slow is actually the fastest way to see abs. Now let’s take that a step further now and see how we can apply that specifically to some of your lower ab exercises. And see if you want to get more quality, then you’ve got to focus on doing things like this, and that is what are you actually trying to move? If you want to get the most out of your lower ab movements, it’s the pelvis that matters the most.
Is the pelvis moving through space? If it’s not, then you’re not flexing your spine and you’re not working your abs to their fullest extent. That’s the first thing. The second thing is, is there something we can do to recruit lower abdominal muscle fibers better? Yes, we can do it by contracting your adductors.
If your ab movements allow it you would actually squeeze your knees together or cross your feet over like this and then perform your ab movement. The additional stability that comes from the adductors on to the pelvis gives you more leverage to let those fibers do a better job of pulling. You’ll feel the difference immediately, so give it a try and I promise that quality of every repetition is going to go through the roof. Just like those bottom-up movements, we actually have an opportunity to do two things to dramatically reduce the quality of all of our tap down movements. The first one is, again, the thing that’s moving.
Here, we’re not looking at just bending our neck and grabbing on for dear life, we’re trying to actually get our shoulder blades off of the ground. So, just like the pelvis is driving those lower ab movements, shoulder blades getting off the ground will drive proper top-down movements. And there’s another thing we can do here to enhance the contraction and quality of every repetition and I call it the folding ribcage. You see if I were to draw an imaginary line right here under my ribcage and then just focus on just trying to fold my body in half upon that line you will feel a much better contraction on every single one of your top-down movements. No matter what crunch variation you’re performing, if you focus on folding right there, the quality will increase dramatically in the long run.
So, one of the techniques I like to tell people when it comes to creating an overall benefit in terms of fat loss, is to seek out the opportunities where you can sort of just sneak in the things that have a marginal impact their own, but together can actually make a difference. And that’s where I reach for three things that I just use every single day, and that’s Green Tea in the form
