The Super Secret 6 Pac Exercise

It’s that time to talk about my favorite (and your favorite) body part again folks. The 6 Pac! And here I’m going to share with you an exercise that is so top secret that no one else can know about it… except you . Just so that you can achieve the body you know you deserve.

Why am I sharing secrets?

Well… I’ve already got a 6 pac and I don’t benefit from keeping information on ‘how to build a 6 pac’ to myself. Besides… building a 6 pac is down to what you do and not what I tell you to do.

Any how the secret exercise is,

The cable core press

And in similar fashion to the hip raise exercise I shared with you a couple of weeks back, this exercise is deceiving. It might not look like you are doing much when you are performing this exercise, but that right there is the secret. Less is sometimes more.

Most of the exercises that I cover require that you to workout like a mad barbarian with the whole ‘no pain, no gain’ agenda in mind. But the best way to build your abs and make it look like you have swallowed a radiator is to actually prevent movement of your core. Enough of me talking, here’s how you do it

1. Find a cable station in your gym.

2. Grab one of the handles with a hand over grip.

3. Line the pully up with your chest.

4. Stand so that you are facing the weights.

5. Make sure that your feet are shoulder width apart and keep your knees bent.

6. Bring the handle towards your chest and tense your abs.

7. Push your arms out in front of you (dead straight), hold for a few seconds and bring them back.

8. That is one set. Repeat on your other side.

• 3 sets
• 8 – 10 reps
• 1 minute rest between each set

This exercise is all about control of the weight and not how much weight you can stack and lift. Overloading the machine will lead you to perform the exercise incorrectly.

It’s up to you where you wish to place this exercise in your weightlifting routine. It’s not a really demanding exercise, so you can position it where you wish.

Have you tried this exercise before, or something similar?

Be A RIPPED Bodybuilder – You Will Feel And Look Better

Everyone that reads this will have varying body types and each of your fitness goals will all be different because of that.

If you are having trouble focusing on a goal to achieve your desired body, have a read of my guest post on Dieselcrew.com Balancing cardio exercises for weight training

Although your goals will be different, striving for the ripped bodybuilder look is something you should definitely aim for.

What does that title mean?

It means that if you build muscle to bulk up, you will appear large in size, but you will actually be closer to fat and could pass for a fat man. But if you build lean muscle, you will look slimmer, but you will also look a lot healthier, fitter, be stronger and possibly more intimidating that your fat man counterparts. For example, Who do you find more intimidating?

Or

See what I mean?

The key thing with building lean muscle is that there is more focus and emphasis on bringing out the muscles shape. That is what ‘getting ripped’ means. That ripped muscle is what will make you appear bigger in size (with clothes off) and you are more likely to catch someone’s eye from a distance, as the muscle more is defined.

You will feel better

Once you look good and know you look good, you will naturally feel good too, inside and out. The reason for feeling good inside is because to get ripped, you would have adopted a good diet consisting of lean meat, carbohydrates, protein, vegetables and fruits. This would lead to the good old saying of

Strong body = strong mind

You will be more confident and yes, you are allowed to let your ego run wild. Yes, you may piss some people off, but who cares, you look good dammit!

Gaining strength

Because you would have lost all of that bulk (which may have been fat) you will then feel more flexible and free. But most importantly, you would have gained in strength. The reason you would have gained in strength is because in order to get ripped you would need to have focused on bodyweight exercises and some free weights exercises. Both of which are great for building real functional strength. One key thing you could focus on is compound exercises. These are exercises that use all four limbs and are great for building the all round muscle and strength of your body.

Overall, this is the look that you will want. Whether you are into impressing others, the opposite sex or yourself (in the mirror), this is the look that will leave an impact. Keep a look out for future posts where I’ll describe the diet and weightlifting routine to help you achieve this look.
