Six Pack Abs (WHY YOU’LL NEVER HAVE THEM!!)

Put the truth back in training here...

If you are the type that thinks that six pack abs are gotten with shortcuts, sleeping pills and ancient secrets then I’ve got some bad news for you. You will be left looking for your answer (along with unicorns and leprechauns) and without a 6 pack. If you click from video to video hoping to find someone that is going to give you the magic formula for abs, and feel disappointed when you get the truth instead, then this is the video you might need to watch a few times.

Here, I discuss the hard truth about getting abs. It all starts with the right mentality. If you think that your dream six pack is waiting for you inside a bottle, then you need to get your head out of that bottle and back in reality. There is nothing you are going to do that doesn’t require a dedication to good, solid nutrition and hard training that is going to give you the results you want (not legally anyway).

If you want to get abs you will first and foremost have to start with a sound nutrition plan. Notice, I didn’t say a restrictive eating plan. No, you don’t have to narrow down your food choices to peas and carrots in order to get ripped abs. You can choose from thousands of healthy meal options (many of which you wouldn’t even feel as if they were bland or typical healthy food) and still get abs. You can’t keep trying to find the elusive answer to why you fail though.

People often like to make the things they follow feel difficult so when they fail, they have an easier time explaining whey they did. If the answer were simple, and you still failed, you would feel like more of a failure for not accomplishing your goals. Well, when it comes to getting abs, you have to set your priorities on that goal. You can’t mix your priorities and think that devoting as much time and attention to your love of alcohol and hostess cupcakes to that of your training and think that you’re going to look the way you want to.

Nope. If you want to get 6 pack abs, you have to commit to a routine of healthy eating, dedication to training and a suffocation of your desire to keep looking for the easy way around it. This type of shortcut doesn’t exist.

If you want to get ripped athletic abs, and do so by putting the truth back in training, then you will want to start training hard and eating right like an athlete. You can get a complete step by step plan for doing so by heading to http://athleanx.com and getting the ATHLEAN-X Training System.
