DIET is the first thing you need to get under control. Everything after that just falls into place. What does your diet look like, specifically?

basiclly a lot of protien about 1200 cals and enough carbs and i weigh 155 and im 5"2 or some where in there lol

that tells me that you don't have your diet down to were it neads to be.. if your eating right you'll never get a visable 6 pack... How much fat and carbs do you eat, in grams, a day.

It's all in the diet bro, I used to do situps night and day and never got the 6 pack i wanted until I did some research and tightend up the diet

damn this post has had so many views

i'll tell u what: i don have a six pack and i don't really want one right now (don't kill me for this guys), but i know these two dudes who have an amazing pair of abs - i mean not the sleek abs - the freaking BISCUITS !!!

now, i though i would discuss the way each of them got where they are:

GUY #1
he took fat burners (sorry i don't know the names off hand) for 3 months and got the six pack...
he then had a motorcycle (some honda) accident and now his fat% has soared from <3% to 25%... lol...
i think he is trying to get back into shape but his mind is just fucked because of all the pills + fat burners he's been taking

GUY #2
he has never taken a single supp till today (apart from whey) and he has an amazing six pack *biscuit* because his diet is out of this world...
i train with him sometimes (he is my best friend)...
he does hanging (upside down) crunches like 20 at a time for a total of 200 sometimes (the emphasis being on sometimes - not 200)...
his abs have been perfect for a long time now..
he says that he dietied like a freaking madman initially, but now he goes and parties often and yet has great abs coz his body has adapted to them. do not misunderstand, i am not saying diet is not important, all i'm saying is that initially it is very very important, but towards the end its kinda ok to freak out every once in a while

having given you both stories, i hope you make the right choice...

ok thanx but ima start dieting and working a llllloooooot more on my abs (at least 500 a day ) for like a month and just see how it goes and what do u guys think would be good for my daily carbs/fats/protiens?

I'm lucky enought to have a body that's a fat burning machine, so I can't comment as to diet. Once you have your diet under control and you can see your abs you'll know better where you stand.

If you want your abs to be more apparent; if you want them to grow then consider a better way to work them. If you keep just adding reps to situps or crunches your abs will stop responding eventually. Your body will adapt and your progress will stop.

Consider adding other ab exercises like jack-s or hanging leg raises. I just do weighted crunches and do some other things here and there.

I've never really understood the rationale behind doing hundreds and hundreds of ab reps. Even if your abs are just where you want them then you can still just add a little weight to maintain. It's much more efficient.

But there is a miuch better reason to work you abs than a six-pack. Along with your lower back they are what stabilize your torso; keep you upright.

Failure to maintain a strong midsection is one of the things that lead to back injury. I've known people who use heavy weights doing deadlifts, SL deadlifts, rows, whatever, and then just do some crunches now and then for abs.

This is a bad idea. You do not want a strength imbalance between your back and abs. They work in concert almost all the time, whether you're aware of it or not.

k thnx but anyone else know about how many carbs/protiens/fats i should take in daily ?
