Virtually every man will answer ‘abs’ when asked which muscle group he would most like to improve, so in honor of that let me share with you an abs workout supplied by Vince Del Monte.

Firstly I’d like to let you know the truth about rock hard abs. Knowing the truth will allow you to forget all the BS and nonsense you’ve heard about getting a six pack. And following advice that isn’t scientific or proven may lead to injury.

Here are a few interesting facts about how NOT to build eye catching abdominals…

40% of the half billion dollar exercise equipment industry is spent on ab improvement machines.
Crunches are not all that!
Starving yourself reduces the amount of muscle you’ll have to build a 6 pack
Supplements or fat burning pills may well distract you from properly attaining your goal

And here’s the biggest myth I’ve heard about six packs.

Skinny people have the best abs

Utter nonsense. People with defined muscle who have low body fat and have concentrated on building abdominals have the best abs.

So, how are you going to build a muscled torso?

Before starting your awesome abs workout appreciate that your abs are muscles. So building them up is the same as any other muscle group. High intensity weight training, planned workouts and an excess of calories.

Abs Workout

First things first. Train your abs first. Your the freshest at the beginning and if they need the most attention, give them themost attention. Train them often as well. Twice a week at least. Even more if you are getting enough quality rest.

Secondly. If you have the muscle, you’ll still need it to be defined. 5-7% body fat will show them off to perfection. 10-15% will be what most people can achieve comfortably and even this will look great.
