“Dude, I’m really skinny up top, but down below I’m a MESS!”
“I’ve been doing ab work for ages! I literally spend hours in the gym everyday crunching and leg raising my butt off! Why do I still have this belly!? Where’s my six pack!?”
“I might as well paste that muffin I just ate on my thighs, because eventually that’s where it’s going to end up.”
“I’m a 27 year old guy that has better breast development than Pamela Anderson!”
“I’ve been on Lipo-6 for 3 months! Nothing happened!” Me: what’s your diet like? “I pretty much eat whatever I want.”
These pretty much sum up what I am about to tackle today (and obviously the title). Before I do, I’d like to point the finger of blame:
1) Training is 20-30%; it only refines a physique.
Nutrition is the other 70-80%.
2) Abs are made in the kitchen.
3) Why are you crunching with no weights when you clearly don’t have any abdominal muscles?
4) The abdominals are a muscle. If you work a muscle everyday it’ll shrink and never grow.
5) If you eat like a pig and train like a horse, you’ll lose overall weight; except for those stubborn fat stores you want to get rid off.
Too many of you quit too early to see any significant results. You tend to give it all up once results start to slow down. It took you years to gain all that fat, so why do you expect to lose it in such a short time?
It’s hard to make your first million, but once you do, you’ll know exactly what kind of work ethic you’d have to give in order to get it. Same thing goes with a set of abs or shapely thighs; you’re pretty vague about how long or hard your journey will be, but once you give into the commitment then it’ll be all worth it.
I’m here to serve as a guide to that journey, where simple bouts of information may prove useful for that much needed push you’ve been looking for.
