Has anyone heard of "The truth about 6 pack abs" program? It apparently claims that the traditional ab exercises are actually bad and make abdominal flab even worse? Most cardio is bad for abs? Confused....anyone try this new program...is it hocus pocus scam?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I was going to post more but Alex may bully me again.DrHouse said:
The "program" sounds complete bulls***.
Now tell us your weight, height and bf% and what your goals are so you can get on the right track.
A six pack is a biproduct of low body fat.DrHouse said:
You can't be chubby and have a six pack. larger muscle groups may be defined though. Even at a normal bodyfat you will not have abs since fat tends to deposit around your torso.
And you can't make abdominal flab worse with exercise. Spot reduction, or treatment... whatever doesn't work. Ever. The only way to make abdominal flab worse is to put on extra fat because of your diet.

Your abs can be trained to grow just like any other muscle group. You cant spot reduce fat though.
Training your abs is important for core strength and should form part of any balanced workout plan. Its the low bodyfat that brings em out though. Stick to a balanced workout, put some muscle on your frame and keep your BF low.
Then you will have abs and all your problems in life will be solved

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Exercise is more important than a perfect diet methinks. I think I read on stronglifts that some guys in strongman comp. are at 15% and 20% bodyfat and you can still see their abs, because they're so strong.
