Fast 6 Abs Blog

Every day I often come across people who complained that no matter what they do, their abs are the hardest to grow. They don’t seem to get the results they are after eventhough they trained very very hard. Other muscles seems to be growing bigger and stronger but not their abdominals.

One look at their abs told me all I needed to know. How can you show your abs if they are covered by layers of fat?

I bet they haven’t heard about the slogan – “abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym”.

Someone was asking me the other day – “how can I grow my abdominal muscles the same way that I am growing my other muscles, and what exercises for abs should I do?”

Pondering on this question for a while, my brief answer to him is – you need to do everything that is required and not just do one thing. Training is one part of the equation but the other parts, and let’s face it – they are all equally important if not critical to your development, is (1) recovery through rest and sleeping and (2) your nutrition program.

Failure to do ALL of those things will make your exercises for abs routine, ineffective.

To which he replied – “but one person in my local gym eats everything he likes to eat and he trains just as hard as me but, he got the results and I don’t”.

To cut the story short – I nearly gave him a cuff around the ears. But, it is still a valid question which we will explore further, in another post. The bottom line of it is, you should never compare yourself and your training to someone else. You are build totally different in your physiology and behaviour. He may well be blessed with good genes but not you.

Copying someone’s training methods is only okay when you are starting out but the level you must always strive for, is to find out what works for you.
