How To Get A 'Six Pack Stomach' Fast!
Expert Author: Darin Steen | Category: Bodybuilding Build Muscle
At one time or another, every one has wanted a six pack stomach. A lean midsection is the epitomy of sexuality, and power. Getting a six pack stomach is a lot less about exercises than it is lifestyle choices. You should only be exercising for 4-6 hours per week (if you know what you are doing), what you do the other 163 hours determines whether you will have a six pack stomach.

What one has to keep in mind is that all the muscles in the world do you no good if only one of your organs fail. Keep this in mind, and make sure you're eating in a manner that ensures you're a complete strongman or strongwoman, not simply someone who has one piece of the puzzle.
One of the most popular strength magazines from the golden era of strength training, the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, was called “Strength and Health.” If you’re fortunate enough to get your hands on a copy and read through it, you’ll notice that there’s an emphasis on developing total strength, not only of the muscles, but the heart, lungs, tendons, everything. They also focused on developing optimal health.
If you read articles pertaining to putting on mass from any of the muscle comics, they usually tell you that you need to eat, and eat BIG! Read enough of these and you'll be brainwashed to the point of pile driving the plate into your mouth at the end of your meal!
It’s inevitable that most people trying to gain muscle mass will be told “You gotta eat big to get big!” and immediately adopt the “See Food Diet” - which is to simply eat everything in sight within arms reach that isn’t bolted down, or can’t run away. Eating in this manner is about as effective as World War 2 Carpet Bombing runs. The problem is inaccuracy. (I like the name “The Carpet Bombing Diet.” Hmmm...I think I see a book in the making!) In my opinion it’s become a dangerous “half-truth” because it’s only half of the picture.
I have found when corresponding with many gym goers and fitness enthusiasts, that there is a massive disconnect in what they say and practice depending on the day of the week. These are people who train hard, eat right and do all things they’re supposed to do to the point that they’re on auto pilot, soaring towards their goal. Then, something strange happens. One day, usually on the weekend, all of these habits seem to walk to the back of the plane, kick open the emergency exit door, and jump out without a second thought.
You might be wondering what Emotional Health has to do with a successful nutritional plan and building a stronger body? How about everything! If you are working towards a healthy body, start with a healthy mind. Many commit a tremendous disservice to themselves by dismissing the importance of their thoughts and emotional health. The quality of our thoughts and emotions are major factors in the quality of our lives.
Some of the biggest excuses I hear about healthy eating, be it for health reasons, or to lose weight or gain muscle are - "healthy food doesn't taste good", "it takes too long to prepare healthy food", and, "it's too complicated." These excuses are usually the result of thinking you need to slave over a hot stove preparing 6 course meals all day long. Nothing could be further from the truth.
