yo all GYM HEADS ENTER (last thread i'l ever make if i get a good answer)

[ChiefChainz]

i just read a yahoo article and it blew my face off, i can't believe the crazy shit in it , it showed an average joe getting a 6 pack in just 12 weeks..


http://health.yahoo.net/yahoohealth/images/articles/weight-loss-transformation-1.jpg

here's the article:

http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/six-pack-abs-12-weeks

and i quote it said to do this he

"He switched to resistance training intervals focused on anaerobic workouts—exercise that involves brief, high-intensity activities like lifting weights, pushups, power training, sprinting or jumping"


^^^ So question, i googled this resistance training shit, but don't understand it, how is lifting weights a high intense work out? or power training?

i understand sprinting but i don't got room to do that? what kind of Resistance training interval can i do with Weights or at the gym? i have pretty much everythin there?

thank you

and my stomach wasn't as bad as his so shall we say I gain a 6 pack in 6 weeks? if he was 12 weeks ? and i'm a lil skinnier ? that possible

[ChiefChainz]

i mean he got that in 12 weeks.. but it's a yahoo article so it has to hold credit, thats why i posted it here, i wouldn't believe random no name articles but why would yahoo lie? that is my home page and shit


but thats what the article said.. it never mentioned anything about ab work outs

it just said change resistance training and i was wondering what that includes besides sprints? and do i do them without rest? how do i do it

[ChiefChainz]

so what is this article talking about then? how did that average joe get that in 12 weeks? the diet he does is the one i already have , so i just need help int he workout mode, oh yeah i forgot i'm at a new gym , and theres so many good lookin girls but i'm so nervous tryna lift weights around them

do u have any advice for that as well? I've forgotten about the other girl

FUCK DELETE THIS THREAD PLEASE

Do 5 sets of 30 sit ups, strech you hands all the way out and only go until your wrist are just past your knee caps. then do 10 minutes of plank evenly spaced out for aslong as you can hold it, everyday for 12 weeks and i can almost garuntee progress. but as Jason said everyone metabolism is different. and the rate that they gain muscles. i took a 8 week physical trainer course. lol

i though all workouts work with the core one way or another?.. its the center of the body and you flex it in everything you do.. little less or more here and there..

[Askari]

I did high intensity interval training and managed to get an OK six pack in about 12 weeks, but my general muscle mass dropped too; hence why I'm bulking now. You can't get that sort of full body transformation - or drop all your body fat for the "perfect six pack" - in 12 weeks (unless you're already fairly slim). I was never close to fat, average build if anything, and the HIIT helped me drop that excess fat brilliantly, but the sheer amount of cardio meant I was burning too many calories and losing mass. Also, if you're not making every calorie you eat count you'll never get that ripped look.

Just be careful with it dude, it's great for losing weight, but if you're trying to gain muscle as you stated in a previous thread then don't worry about the 6 pack cutting stuff now or you'll end up one of this weird sticky skinny guys with pencil thin arms and legs and a point blank out-of-place six pack.

it can Happen...Worked for me in Afghanistan...But I worked out everyday.. for months But yea sprinting Helps Abs alot

The question I ask is: Why are you making a thread about this on Letsbeef?

Go to menshealth.com or something, sheesh, fuck outta here.

what exactly is the HIIT thing , can u gimme the basics of what u did for 12 weeks? i'll do the same thing and be jacked like this guy in the picture, so far i just chill on the treadmil for 10-15 mins a few days a week and lift random weights but nothing with intensity, how do i incorporate high intensity into my workouts?



and to vitrol. i'm to lazy to make account elsewhere and letsbeef has alotta emcees who stay fit so i'm interested how they manage their success

My advice (this is NOT gospel) is if you want to get pumped like that dude then eat a shit load (keep it clean as possible) and push yourself lifting in the gym. work out a regime to work out seperate muscle groups each day to avoid injury eg Monday Arms, Shoulders & Back, Tuesday Chest & Tri's, Wednesday Legs, Thursday Abs & cardio. That's my personal routine with a weekend recovery but you don't have to do it that way; do what ever works for you.

This is the cardio exercise I was doing - Max Calorie Burn Workout - YouTube

I did this 4 - 5 days a week mixed with some light weights, tough ab & press-up exercises and very strict nutrition and the fat dropped off of me. However - as stated previously - I gained ZERO muscle and ended up with a cool sixpack but twigs for arms and a fucking pigeon chest man. I was ripped but I ws skinny as hell, no chick wants a dude like that. From personal experience the best thing you can do is keep the cardio to a minimum for now and focus on getting your form in check; lift PROPERLY before you start lifting heavy. Deadlifts, military presses, bench presses and front rows seem to work well for me as basically a beginner to weightlifting. I also do squats on leg days. Start by consuming more calories than your guideline daily amount - plenty plenty protein eg chicken and fish (recommended protein to gain muscle is 1g per pound of body weight, for example I weigh 160 lbs so I try to get 161g of protein per day) - and make sure you work hard in the gym. After the "bulk" you can start the "cutting" phase; this is where the originally mentioned HIIT comes in.

I know this is a SHIT load of information, and it's not guaranteed to work for everyone, I'm just letting you know what worked/is working for me currently.

Check out Mike Chang, The Hodge Twins & Scooby on YouTube for some free and helpful advice on all aspects of getting in shape. Find what works best for you, plan a regime and stick to it.

Or better yet; go to the gym and consult a personal trainer.

Bahahahaha. If you're too lazy to make an internet account on a website that specialises in gym fitness, then it's amazing how you're dedicating yourself to daily exercise.

Jesus Christ.

Not everything on those sites are true though @Vit.. You don't have to be in a room full of chinese to learn the language, nah mean?

Some of the best advice you can get is often picked up during your everyday life (Obviously you should do research before taking action on something you heard).. And it seems to me as if people like Jason and Askari know what they're talking about; Ferno would also have knowledge of such activities due to being in the Army. I myself have the basic knowledge of 'Body Building/Getting Fit', so it's all good - Dude could get some good info.

By the way, once you got a strong, regular Ab workout routine (Eg. 50 Sit-ups every morning and night 4-5 times a week) Try to find your self somewhere you can do decline sit-ups, like when you see kids dangling from monkey-bars by their legs - I used to do sit-ups like that because it stretches your stomach more and your pushing against gravity alot more, so it's really intense.

[ChiefChainz]

thanks guys, appreciate the help, yea will take in everything said except Vistrol who is just a hater every thread but thats no problem.. people hate you for doing bad and hate you for trying to better your own life, don't see the point but ok , that youtube vid was intense but helpful.. again thank you guys for the help , in no time i will be in excellent shape and i will make a comeback statement in 3 months to thank you guys for believing

[ViTRiOL]

But EVERYONE has a different angle and THE answer. Just saying, you're more likely to find the best advice on a bodybuilding and nutrition website, clearly. Obviously I'm not bashing what Jason and Askari are saying, I'm interested in the subject matter aswell. It's just strange how CC is being so adamant about this on a rap site, haha.

I dunno, maybe I'm just a grumpy, intolerant cunt as usual. Time to go to the gym.
