Summer Six-Pack
- Thread starter Hoss
- Start date
u wish you had a whole six pack? you have a whole six pack. i think you better wish for some eyes instead. =D
stop being a pansy. a lot of people would kill for less definition than you already have. be happy with what you got.
lol.
ok i understand the desire to look better, because everyone always wants more and more results. but you were making it sound like you had nothing. that's why i said maybe you need new eyes so you can see what you got.
ON ANOTHER TOPIC, THOUGH RELATED TO SIX PACKS...
I have done about two weeks of cardio, 35-45 minutes on the bike almost everyday with eating less. no weight lifting though and I cut down my eating considerably.
Good news: muscles still look the same time, and considerably more ripped
lost fat all over (well duh cause thats the way the body loses fat haha)
Bad news: still got some belly fat (the "spare tire") which isnt that bad, but doesnt seem to be going away. It has gotten better.
here my question... I think I should start lifting weights WITH the cardio now. that's what I did a few summers ago, and thats the only time in my I life that I got REALLY ripped. I was weightlifting and biking a lot, and I was a summer camp counselor (thats some cardio right there haha).
So... what should I do? add some weights? or do another two weeks of cardio only? or... I used to swim in highschool. Should I do swimming?

Why i stopped lifting weights......because it gave me a "monster" appetite. Seriously, I get super hungry after I lift. In fact, I feel hungry the whole day, almost like I just want to eat all day! Do any of you guys get that?
So, I looked at it this way. Here's how I'm going to get more cut:
1) Long sessions of cardio are a must - in my opinion, the best way to burn fat.
2) reduce eating, and make sure only healthy food. no cheats
3) give up weights cause I'm just gonna want to eat like a WOLVERINE
and so far, its worked. in fact, my arms and chest did not shrink (thank goodness) and look much bigger because my stomach is smaller. HOWEVER, I think I'm getting to a point where I will need to add weight, as you guys have said, because it adds some more calorie burning to the plan, PLUS - weights are great for toning, especially the midsection.
biggie - you got a good six pack. if you want more definition, go for it. i'm sure you can.
mreik - the weight lifting does raise the metabolism, so thats a good point. but that only seems to help people with already fast metabolisms. otherwise, I would never have had to do this cutting phase in the first place =) Good tips though, keep up the good work. question: i think you said that you were beginning a cutting phase earlier than you wanted to? might I ask why? and arent you already pretty cut?
to all, GOOD LUCK WITH THOSE SIX PACKS!

you're probably soo hungry bc ur metabolism is goin a million miles a minute, i know id eat cardboard after an intense workout if it was all i had lol. but if you can eat healthy, and a little less, and control that hunger itll really help..

I look at it this way. it takes a lot of time to build muscle, so logically, it would take a lot of time to lose muscle (as long as you don't fast, or get trapped in the desert with only water for a week).
how did you tear it, and how long will it take to heal? fast recovery, it's too bad you don't have my mutant healing factor.
