If you want to get 6 pack abs then there are some things you’re going to want to make sure you get right. In this video, I’m revealing my greatest tips for getting 6 pack abs fast. As you would expect, these will be a mix of nutrition and workout tips for abs. You simply cannot get a ripped six pack without paying attention to both sides of the equation.With that said, we start right off ironically in the bathroom for a nutrition tip. That’s right, you want to start where you day starts with rehydration. Likely you have not had any water since before you went to bed. This can leave you dehydrated. The best thing you can do for your body is drink 16-20 ounces of water upon waking before doing anything else, simply to try and get ahead of the deficit. Whether you are trying to increase your metabolism or improve the quality of your ab workouts, you need to have plenty of water to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of each.Speaking of what to do first, the next tip for getting abs has to do with the sequence of something else - your ab workouts. It’s less important which ab exercises you choose as it is which order you perform them in. Be sure to perform lower ab movements (ones that involve isolated movement of the legs) first in your training and save the top down movements for last. In the name of exercise efficiency, this order will save you from attempting your hardest ab exercises when you are least capable of performing them well.When it comes to eating, remember this nutrition tip and you will be way ahead of the game when it comes to achieving your fat loss goals and you won’t even have to count a single calorie in the process. Pretend your plate is a clock and make an imaginary line for 9 o’clock and nine twenty. Fill the largest portion of the plate with fibrous carbs. If you’re looking for a resource for the best choices be sure to visit http://athleanx.com/carbs. Fill the second largest portion with protein. Fill the remaining portion with starchy carbs and top with a small amount of incidental fat. Keep the portions low without heaping and you will find this simple strategy is something you can use anywhere.When it comes to your ab workouts, be sure to not focus on counting reps but rather making your reps count. I like to say, it’s better to count meaningful contractions and not reps. If you do a rep that you speed through and don’t really feel it in the muscles you’re trying to work, then don’t count it. When you trade in quality for quantity, your chances of getting a carved out six pack are dramatically increased.When it comes to specific techniques that you can apply to your ab exercises for a 6 pack be sure to do the following. On all lower ab exercises, focus on lifting the pelvis not the legs. Also, when able, be sure to squeeze your knees together to activate the adductors which provides stability to the pelvis from below and gives you a better engagement of the lower abs.For the upper abs, pretend there is a line just at the bottom of your ribcage. From here, try and fold your body upon that line. Focusing on lifting the shoulder blades off the ground rather than pulling on your neck will make this easier to make sure you get right.In the kitchen, there are a few things you can add to your daily diet that alone won’t make much of an impact but together can have a significant one. Here I like to recommend including green tea (either as a supplement or something you drink), cinnamon (I like to include the Ceylon version in my oatmeal every morning) and red pepper flakes (providing capsaicin to assist in fat loss efforts). All of these are naturally included in my meals and done so consistently.Breathing is another thing you want to make sure you get right when doing you

From beginner to advanced, it doesn’t matter what level of fitness you have you will have a home workout option to help you build muscle and get in shape quickly

If you have a pair of dumbbells then you can do this total body dumbbell workout. From beginner to advanced, it doesn’t matter what level of fitness you have you will have a home workout option to help you build muscle and get in shape quickly. The key to this dumbbell workout is that it trades in workout length for intensity. You won’t have to work out for more than 20 minutes to get good results from this circuit.To start, pick a single set of dumbbells that you will use for the duration of this workout. Beginners should use somewhere around 10 pound dumbbells. Intermediate lifters can use dumbbells that weigh close to 30 pounds (give or take a few pounds in either direction). The most advanced will likely use a set of dumbbells that weigh around 50 pounds.The entire workout is broken down into 4 rounds. Each round consists of two home dumbbell exercises with the first always being a variation of the renegade row. The goal is to complete 5 reps on each arm of the row, either staying in one place if you are a beginner or limited on home workout space or by traveling as you perform them as shown.Once you complete those you then have to stand up and perform your exercise for 40 seconds. If you need to rest at all, do so in rest pause fashion keeping it as brief as possible. Once the 40 seconds are done you walk back to the starting spot and rest 20 seconds before proceeding into the next exercise in the circuit workout. No rest is taken between rounds in this circuit. After the entire circuit is performed, take a 2 minute rest and aim to complete the entire full body dumbbell workout a total of 3 times.The workout is broken down round by round as follows.Round 1:Renegade Row March x 5 each armDumbbell Thrusters x 40 seconds / Rest 20 secondsRound 2:Renegade Row March x 5 each armDB Sprinter Lunges x 40 seconds / Rest 20 secondsRound 3: Renegade Row March x 5 each armClose Grip Squeeze Ups x 40 seconds / Rest 20 secondsRound 4:Renegade Row March x 5 each armDumbbell High Pulls from Floor x 40 seconds / Rest 20 secondsIf you can complete this circuit workout with ease, then consider either performing another entire circuit or just increasing the weight of the dumbbells that you’re using. The goal is not to simply get a sweat up by doing this. You want to feel as if you worked out and that your muscles are fatigued when finished. This is not simply a cardiovascular workout.As for the muscles that you are hitting with this home dumbbell workout, there are many. The thruster is hitting your shoulders, legs, triceps and upper chest. The sprinter lunges are best at recruiting the muscles of the posterior chain like the hamstrings and glutes. The close grip squeeze ups are an intense pushup variation that will really light up the pecs while making the triceps do a lot of work. Finally, the high pulls will hit the traps, shoulders and muscles of the upper back not to mention the quads. The staple exercise of the renegade row is great at hitting the lats and mid-scap muscles while placing a heavy emphasis on the core and biceps.If you give this a try, please be sure to let me know how you liked it in the comments below.The key to building muscle at home with dumbbells is to know the right exercises to perform. This total body workout is going to allow you to hit every muscle in your legs, back, chest, shoulders, arms and core with just 5 carefully selected dumbbell exercises. It's time to start building muscle at home without having to spend hours trying to do it.If you are looking for a complete program to give you every home workout you need to do without even requiring a set of dumbbells to perfor

In this video, I’m going to show you dumbbell exercises for biceps that will target the long head, short head, brachialis and brachioradialis muscles.

The best dumbbell biceps exercises are the ones that are going to help you to build big arms the fastest. In this video, I’m going to show you dumbbell exercises for biceps that will target the long head, short head, brachialis and brachioradialis muscles. While it is impossible to isolate any one of the biceps heads from the other, it is possible to influence the activation of each head by selecting bicep exercises that do a better job at this.It starts with the biceps long head. With an attachment in the shoulder joint above the glenoid, this biceps muscle head gets its name because of the longer travel of the tendon. Anatomically, this is the area of the bicep that sits more to the outside of the arm. If you were to flex your arm and make a muscle, this would be the part that can be seen from behind as if in a back double biceps pose.It is the long head that is also most responsible for the peak. If you find that you don’t have enough height on your arms and are looking for ways to get bigger biceps peaks then this is the area you’d want to focus on. The best dumbbell bicep exercises for getting the job done here are as follows:Long Head1. Drag Curls2. Incline DB Curls3. Row Curls4. Waiter’s CurlsThe key to each of these movements is that they all do one of two things. First, they keep the elbow back behind the body into extension. This places a greater stretch on the long head and therefore allows it to be selectively more highly recruited and helps to increase activation of the area. The other element is that it places the outside of the arm in a more visible position if you were looking into a mirror when you did the biceps exercise.When it comes to biceps workouts, the thing you want to remember is that what you see is what you are training. If you see more of the outside of the arm because your arm is turned inward, then you are going to be working more of the long head of the biceps. Vice versa, if your arm is turned out and you see more of the inner portion of your biceps then you are training the short head.Speaking of the short head of the bicep muscle, here are the exercises that are most effective at hitting this area:Short Head5. Offset DB Curl6. Spider Curls7. Preacher Curls 8. Seated DB Curl Plus9. No Money CurlsAll of these have the common trait of placing the arm in a position further out in front of the body. They also all do a great job of allowing for a complete biceps contraction by resisting elbow flexion, forearm supination and shoulder flexion. My favorite of these dumbbell biceps exercises is the no money curl. You can clearly see the biceps peaks and strong contraction at the top of every rep and it also helps to improve posture.Not falling into either of these categories, but rather having a miscellaneous group of their own, there are three biceps exercises that manipulate momentum to help you get bigger arms fast.Misc10. DB Chin / Eccentric Chin11. DB Cheat Curl (Eccentric Focus)12. DB Strict CurlAnd finally, back to the muscle groupings to make sure you leave no area of your arms untrained, we have the brachialis exercises.Brachialis13. Cross Body Hammer Curls14. Robot CurlsThese help to build wider biceps by developing the muscle underneath the biceps and providing more girth to the upper arm. Remember to minimize the contribution of the biceps when trying to build a bigger brachialis and you will start filling those shirt sleeves before you know it.Finally, the forearm muscle that also gets looked at and must be trained for bigger arms is the brachioradialis. This is the best exe

This 22 day 0 to 5 workout for more pull-ups builds off of the tremendous success of our 22 day push up workout. The key to the timeline is that this workout progresses you through various exercises while demanding that you increase pull ups along the way

Want to start doing your first set of pull ups in just 22 days? Well, if you watch this video and perform the workouts as written, you’ll be doing more pull ups in no time. This 22 day 0 to 5 workout for more pull-ups builds off of the tremendous success of our 22 day push up workout. The key to the timeline is that this workout progresses you through various exercises while demanding that you increase pull ups along the way. It consists of three weeks of testing and non-testing days that will quickly build up your back, grip and arms while helping you develop the strength to do your first set of pull ups. You won't be asking how to do a pull-up anymore after following these tips.The way these workouts are structured is by first establishing your max on an assistance exercise, the inverted row to failure in a single set. From here, you rest two minutes and attempt to perform a dead arm hang from a pull-up bar for as long as you possibly can.Day 1 starts with a test day. Complete a single set of max inverted rows to failure in good form. Rest 2 minutes and then complete a set of dead arm hangs for as long as you can hold. Take this max number of rows number as this will be used on subsequent non-testing days to be sure you are gauging your pullup strength progress the right way.On Day 2, we start a series of non-testing days. In these workouts, the goal is to perform a specific variation for the same number of reps that you did on your most recent testing day. You are allowed to rest/pause when you fatigue and you are advised to stop a few reps short of total muscle failure. This is to accommodate for the fact that you will be doing a lot of volume over the next few weeks.The second half of the non-test day workouts require that you go back to performing inverted rows, except this time you have to complete your maximum plus 40 percent (on the first non-test day) 50 percent (on the second non-test day) and 60 percent (on the third and final non-test day in a block). Again here, you do not have to perform these unbroken. You simply have to get them done, stopping 2-3 reps shy of failure and using rest/pause.The blocks continue to progress and advance with each new testing day. Be sure to re-test your maximum number at the start of each new block since you will likely be increasing your overall strength meaning that your number is going to increase. Each block is based on the number of max inverted rows that you are able to achieve on the test day that precedes that block.We continue in this fashion until we reach day 21 of the 22 day workout. Here, you are to complete one of two tests. Refer to the video for the specifics on how to compete the day 21 test. On day 22 we come back again only this time we’re testing our pull ups! This is where the hard work starts to pay off and you should start doing your first set of full pull ups! Pullups are one of the best bodyweight back exercises you can do. The thing about them is that they can be quite discouraging when you don't have the strength to perform at least one rep. It isn't helpful to keep struggling to try and do pullups at home without a plan. Now, with this 22 day pullup workout, you have a step by step progression for getting not only your first rep of pullups but to get many more after that. You won't have to ask yourself ever again how to increase pullups if you follow this workout as instructed.It is not uncommon for those that follow the plan laid out here to go from 0 pullups to at least 3 and even 5 in just three weeks. Give this plan your all and you will be surprised at how easy pullups will become for you.This 3 week workout will progressively overload your back, introduce you to exercise variations that will build not just y

If you want to get lower abs fast you are going to need to do a couple of things that are especially important...

If you want to get lower abs fast you are going to need to do a couple of things that are especially important. First, you will need to get your nutrition cleaned up. Due to the fact that most men and many women tend to store fat in their lower abdomen it is often the last to come off and therefore requires a higher dedication to eating right to get rid of it. Second, many people don’t train their lower abs correctly or simply don’t have the strength to do lower ab workouts right.While it is anatomically impossible to isolate the lower abs from the upper abs and get them to contract independent of the other, it is possible to influence the fiber activation of one area over the other. This is due to the fact that the different areas of the abdominals have different nerve innervation and that there is evidence to support that movements the are initiated with the pelvis moving towards the shoulders can recruit better fiber activation of the lower abdominal region.That said, there is a big downside to lower ab, bottom up exercises. The fact that these moves require that you lift the weight of your legs makes them instantly more challenging and demanding than top down shoulder to pelvis ab exercises. What winds up happening is those whose lower abs aren’t strong enough wind up overtaxing their hip flexors and not getting enough work for their abs.This lower ab workout solves this problem.By incorporating hip flexor relief exercises in between the classic exercises for lower abs that involve lifting the legs, one is able to tolerate the moves better and get through the whole ab workout. In the long run, this allows you to build up the strength of your abs and get better at the workout. There are three levels of ability provided in this lower abs workout.Beginners perform the hip flexor dominant ab exercises for 15 seconds and immediately follow this with a 15 second rest before moving onto the next movement.Intermediates perform the exercises for 20 seconds and immediately follow this with a 10 second rest before moving onto the next lower ab exercise.Advanced perform the ab exercises for 25 seconds and take just 5 seconds rest before proceeding to the next exercise in the ab workout.That said, when it comes to the hip flexor relief exercises, all performers of the workout regardless of their ability level are doing to perform the exercises for 25 seconds with 5 seconds rest due to the fact that the weight of the legs has been taken out of the equation.When the 3 minute lower ab workout is complete, take a one minute rest and then get back in there again and repeat for a second round. In total, this workout will target your lower abs better and do the job fast. You can complete this ab workout in just 7 minutes. It is recommended that you do some type of ab training at least 4-5 times per week. That said, you can train your abs daily and not have to worry about overtraining provided you are following a brief but focused ab workout like this.The specific workout for lower abs looks like this:LOWER AB MOVES1A. Figure 8’s2A. Bicycle V-Ups (Hand Spotted for Beginners)3A. 3-Way Seated Ab TucksHIP FLEXOR RELIEF EXERCISES1B. Lower Ab Swipes2B. Heaven Presses3B. KTE CrunchesComplete all reps without resting during your time (determined by your ability level above). Alternate between A and B exercises until all 6 are completed.If you’re looking for a complete lower ab workout program that will get you ripped six pack abs and includes a daily meal plan for losing body fat fast, be sure to check out the Core4 Abs program at athleanx.com and start training your abs with a purpose.
