Ab Workout: When things go terribly wrong
Filed Under Ab Exercises, Ab Training, Ab Workout, Workout | Leave a Comment
The ab workout exercise gone completely wrong.
YOUTUBE
If you’ve ever felt frustrated and confused at the gym… if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the exercise all wrong…
Or if you’ve ever made an embarrassing goof that you’re not too proud of… well…
You’re not alone…
If you’d like to access a complete step-by-step system containing all the exercises you need, and exactly how to do them, so you don’t end up embarrassed like the guy in the video, just click the link below:
I have a quick goof up story of one of my own blunders in the gym back in the early years.
Growing up, the only access to weights and weight training I had was at my high school. It was a DUMP. Literally, if I left the weight room without being so dirty that I looked like I had been working on a broken down car, I felt as if I didn’t get a good work out. Everything was rusty, old, and broken down. But it was home.
Even in college, I’d look to the bare bones facilities for my workouts.. not sure why, but I just felt comfortable working out and getting dirty.
Well, fast forward 2000, I began working at an upscale Gym in Baton Rouge. The equipment was nice, the people were nice, everything about the place was nice. So as you can imagine, finishing up a workout and still having the clothes I was wearing clean was something new to me. It just felt odd.
So, anyway, as I was getting used to working out on all the new equipment, I was at the cable cross over machine working my triceps. You know the contraptions, it has a weight stack with a cable running vertical & wrapping around a pulley, etc.
Well, I had a fairly heavy tricep bar attached to the end of the cable, when I reached down to pull the pin & adjust the weight stack, a few of the plates (5-10 lbs) started slowly rising on their own. Bent over and Baffled, I just stared at it slowly rising for about 5 seconds… then…
BAM!
Something smashed me on the top of my head. After jumping to the side as fast as I could to figure out whether or not I had just gotten pummeled by a bodybuilder that wanted my machine, I realized….
The tricep bar that was attached to the end of the cable weighed about 15 pounds. Since it was on a pulley against only 10 pounds after I pulled the pin, the bar began to fall…
And walloped me upside the head.
Needless to say, I felt like an idiot. Luckily there weren’t many people at the gym that day, but a cute little girl was over in the corner looking at me giggling…
She had seen the whole thing..
Just wonderful.
If you have a similar story, feel free to post them in the comments section below. I’d love to hear about them.
’til next time, Train Hard & Live Easy!

Everybody has this question, and everybody wants not only an answer, but an answer that they WANT to hear…
The question:
Can I drink beer, wine, and/or whiskey and still get a flat stomach?
The most common answer you’ll get from trainers and other fitness experts is a big
fat NO…
Plain and simple - That’s bull-sh*t.
I have a whole chapter dedicated to THIS very subject in my How To Get Six Pack Abs manual titled:
“beer, whisky, wine & six pack abs”
and it describes
“How I drank beer, whisky, and wine on a weekly basis and STILL dropped my body fat to 7%, and developed six-pack abs.. no joke
The fact is most fitness experts have a moral obligation to steer you away from unhealthy habits – like becoming a raging alcoholic.
And when they do this, they sometimes lie to you and tell you that alcohol makes you fat…
but i’m here to tell you it’s bull-sh*t.
Alcohol doesn’t make you fat, it’s what it causes your body to “do” after drinking that makes you fa . t – like the severe drops in your blood sugar levels after drinking that makes you feel like your starving…
What happens is you get a huge surge of insulin (more than what is needed) and the little insulin hormones stomp around in your body looking for more sugar to transport…
When there isn’t any, it signals your brain to tell you you’re hungry…
You feed it, the insulin does its job, and everybody’s happy… Well, until the person looks into the mirror and realizes they’re fat.
Then their fitness expert friend tells them the alcohol made them fat… but it’s not the case.
It’s about a lifestyle change. For a lot of people, drinking alcohol is part of their life… whether it’s 1 drink a week or 10..
So how do you drink booze and still drop the lbz?
Here are 4 things you HAVE to know to keep from having to throw out the booze:
1) Know how many calories you’re eating per day – If
you’re not sure how many calories your currently taking in
from food sources, this is must have info. Just because
alcohol doesn’t make you f. at, doesn’t mean you won’t get
fat. Remember if you’re consuming more calories than your
burning per day, you’ll still gain w. eight.
2) Know how many calories are in the booze you’re
drinking when you do drink – Okay, now that you know how
many calories you’re getting from food sources, you need to
take into account how many calories you’re getting from booze..
make sure the combined total of “food & booze” still puts
you in a calorie deficit.
3) Exercise – Exercising 3-6 days per week, whether
it’s cardio or weight training is recommended. It’ll keep
your metabolism raging and fight off any excess water weight
from the booze.
4) An otherwise clean nutrition program – other than
the booze, you should be eating plenty of protein, moderate
carbs, and low to moderate amounts of f. at. Otherwise you
may run the risk of exceeding your maintenance calories
causing you to put on the dreaded excess f. at.

Is Pilates Effective for Fat Loss
Filed Under Fat Loss | Leave a Comment
From the Reader Mailbag of How to Get Six Pack Abs
Question: Hi todd, thank you for the emails….they are very interesting indeed……quick question? i have recently started pilates in an effort to get slim but mainly toned? how efficient will my body be at burning fat after a few months pilates…..dont wanna do weights cos dont think bulky muscles are very attractive on a female……what do you think?
Answer: Thanks for your kind words. I hope you know what you’re getting into by asking me that question.. i’m kind of a no bullshit guy, so forgive me if I come off a little harsh,
it’s not personal 
In short, if you’re sedentary, pilates will be good short term. Because it will stimulate your muscles to a degree, but the amount of time it takes for your muscles to adapt to the pilates classes is very short. So, you’re metabolism will increase a bit, but at around week 4, you’ll have maxed out the total caloric burn. Meaning, that’s about as high as your metabolism is going to get. Is it best for you? I don’t know, however, I did allow my clients to participate in pilates classes in addition to my program.
If you’re looking for short term 8-17 weeks losing 1-3 pounds per week, you’re not gonna find it with pilates. However, if you participate in the classes 3-4 days per week, and follow a fat loss diet (40-40-20 min. ratio of protein-carb-fat) without cheating, you can see decent fat loss progress in 6-8 months - 2-3 pounds of fat loss per month.
But my question comes in here: Why in the world would someone want to opt for a program that burns 2-3 pounds of fa-t per month, when they can burn it PER WEEK with in the same amount of time and effort? (I’m not trying to be facetious)
As far as pilates making you “slim and toned” - ouch…unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. The whole “slim and toned and bulky and lean” stuff is just marketing jargon to try to take your money.
It comes down to the fact that muscle is where fat is burned, and pilates isn’t going to even maintain your current levels of lean muscle mass if you’re on a calorie restrictive diet. I’m sorry, but it just won’t.
As far as weight training making you bulky….. if it was THAT easy, guys wouldn’t take steroids. So, you don’t have anything to worry about as far as that’s concerned. The next few times you’re at the gym, stop in to the weight room and look at all the skinny guys running around… ask them how long they’ve been working out, and how much weight they’ve gained… If they’re not trying to impress you (since you’re a girl and are honest, it won’t be much.
If you haven’t visited the website yet, go look at Tricia’s picture…. it was all done with weight training and diet - no cardio, no pilates, and no aerobics or spin classes… you can read her story there, too.
here’s the link:
I think we’ll both agree she doesn’t look bulky at all…
So, basically, I say hit the gym, and eat clean for the fastest results. Cardio is optional, but will likely speed things up if you’re training with weights.
And if you really enjoy the pilates classes, you can throw them into your program, too, but only as a supplement to your main fat loss program and to mix things up.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do, and thanks for your email

Alright, so a few of my clients are itching to speed up their stomach fat loss. Although there are advanced strategies, I’m a big believer in setting a strong foundation of exercise & nutrition for at least the first 4 weeks.
At this point, once you have proper eating down pat, it has become a habit, and you’ve reached a point in your exercise program that you can crank the intensity to 100% - it’s time to speed the fat loss up with advanced nutrition strategies.
To get started, you need to calculate the number of calories you need per day to lose 2-3 pounds of fat per week. At week 4, you can begin Carb Depletion Staggering.
Make sure you understand these Advanced Stomach Fat Loss Strategies and start putting them to work once you have a handle on the rest of your program.
