INTRODUCTION
Introduction

ets get something clear from the start, if


L you’re reading this, then it’s safe to assume
you are human, if you are human you
already have abs, fact! It’s anatomical name is the
‘Rectus abdominis’ more commonly known as the
‘six pack.’ You could have 8, 6 or you may only
display 4, but we all have them.
It is a popular desire for us to see this musculature
through the skin. With the knowledge now that you
already have abs, the next step is the getting them
to show.

SIX PACK EXTREME 8


Introduction

To do this your body fat needs to be quite low, take


a look at the chart below:

Men Body Fat

Lean 10 - 14%

Very Lean < 9%

Competitive 3 - 6%

Women Body Fat

Lean 16 - 20%

Very Lean < 15%

Competitive 8 - 12%

SIX PACK EXTREME 9


Introduction

‘You need to lower your body fat.’


Where do you fit in? If your body fat is above what
is considered ‘lean,’ along with following the
routines in Six Pack Extreme, you will need to also
reduce your body fat to expose those abs you
already have, they could already be quite
developed, but until the body fat is reduced you
will not know!

To reduce your body fat, it is advisable to


implement a full muscle building routine, along
with an effective cardio routine that will torch fat.

For torching fat I


recommend my
Fat Burn Extreme
Training Guide
available here.

WHAT YOU
CAN SEE

Rectus Abdominis

Known as ‘The Six Pack,’ sort


after by almost every man and
quite a few women.

The rectus abdominis is a


paired muscle running
vertically on each side of the
anterior wall of the abdomen,
it originates at the sternum
and inserts at the pelvis.
Although six is most
commonly visible, four, eight
and even ten packs can be
seen on some.

SIX PACK EXTREME 15


ABnatomy

External Obliques

The external oblique are broad


and thin in shape, they run
diagonally down the sides of
the rectus abdominis.

For many, the oblique’s are not


visible (especially females),
this is due to
subcutaneous fat deposits and
the small size of the muscle.

SIX PACK EXTREME 16


WHAT YOU
CAN’T SEE

Internal Obiques

Below the external obliques


you will find the internal
obliques. The internal obliques
are also a broad and thin in
shape, however they run in the
opposite direction to the
external obliques.

SIX PACK EXTREME 17


Transverse Abdominis (TVA)

Directly below the rectus


abdominis you will find the
transverse abdominis, which
resembles a corset that covers
the front and lower torso.

During many lifts the TVA


contracts (involuntarily); it acts
as the body's natural weight-
lifting belt, stabilising the
spine and pelvis during lifting
movements.

FAQS
FAQs

? How often should I perform the routines?

You should aim to perform the Six Pack Extreme


routines 2 - 3 x per week in combination with a full
body muscle building or fat burning routine,
depending on your goals.

How long does each session last?

Each routine should last between 20 - 25mins.

Can I use Six Pack Extreme with Mass Gain Extreme or Fat Burn Extreme?

Sure, you can perform a routine from Six Pack Extreme in combination with
your Mass Gain Extreme or Fat Burn Extreme session. Ab routines should be
performed at the end of your workout.

Can I mix the exercises from different routines?

You can, however bear in mind that each routine is written with a structured
format, first targeting the upper abs of the rectus abdominis, obliques, lower
abs and finishing off an exercise for the lower back. It is essential that all the
abs muscles are hit with each routine.

SIX PACK EXTREME 20


FAQs

? How long before I see my abs?

If you cannot already see your abs when you start


this training program, you will need to work towards
reducing your body fat.

As we covered in the introduction, everyone has abs, the aim


of this program is to build your abs muscles and strengthen your core. To
reduce your body fat I recommend my Fat Burn Extreme Training Guide, which

1. Janda Sit Up 4 10 - 12 If you have trouble keeping


your feet down, you can
have a workout partner
exert pressure on your feet
to keep them on the
ground. You can also wrap
your legs under a barbell to
keep them down.

2. Twisting Sit Up 4 10 - 12 Each crunch counts as 1

scissor-like motion.

4. Lying Back Extension 4 10 - 12 Lie face down on an


exercise mat with arms fully
extended in front of you.
Simultaneously raise arms,
legs and chest off the floor,
leaving only your pelvic
area touching the mat.
Hold this contraction for 2
seconds, then lie flat, this is
1 rep.

METHOD
Perform each exercise for the specified number of sets then move on to the
next exercise.

Along with building your abdominal muscles and strengthening your core, it is
important to also strengthen your lower back muscles. For this reason you
should perform the lower back exercise after completing all 3 abs exercises.

TIP 1

Did you know...

Deadlifts and Squat work abs too?

What most people do not know is that movements


like deadlifts and heavy squats are actually the kings
of abdominal exercise. There is no amount of isolation
exercises that can mimic their effects on the core and
development of the abdominal muscles.

If these exercises are not included in your current training routine, they are
fundamental and should be added along with the isolation abs exercise
routines in this program. The full body routine I follow, ‘Mass Gain Extreme,’
can be downloaded from here.

TIP 2

Did you know...


For strong abs you need a strong back?

You need a strong lower back, to make it possible


for you to complete these intense abdominal
workouts effectively, and with less risk of injury.

Your core has a front, sides and guess what, there’s a back to it
too! Your lower back or to give it’s technical name ‘erector spinae,’ also needs a
good workout. Many tend to neglect the lower back muscles, but it is very
important to train them, if we want awesome abs we cannot neglect our lower
back.

What an Isometric exercise is?

Isometric exercises are a form of strength training,


with an isometric contraction the muscle remains the
same length (compared to concentric or eccentric
contractions, called dynamic/isotonic movements).

Planks are isometric exercises that strengthen your entire body. To remain in
the plank position you work not only your core, but you also strengthen your
lower back, and build your shoulders.

TIP 4

Normal Increase in Subcutaneous Fat

Did you know...

Spot fat reduction is a myth?

These abs routines are primarily to build your


abdominal muscles, not to burn the fat around your
stomach. Do not let anyone fool you into believing you
can reduce body fat in a specific area on your body. Spot fat
reduction is a myth. The theory is that if you train a muscle group it will reduce
the body fat in that area, this is physically impossible and I will explain why.

When we put on fat, much to our dismay we have zero control of where it
goes; excess calories consumed are transformed and stored as subcutaneous
fat. When we exercise, calories are metabolised and used for fuel, but again
you have no control of where the energy (fat) is sourced from.

The only connecting factor of training your abs to reduce the fat around your
stomach, is the sum of energy needed to perform the exercises, to put it
simply, your best way of reducing fat (anywhere) is a routine that obliterates
calories. My Fat Burn Extreme Training Guide is the ultimate program for
torching fat, click here to download it.

TIP 6

Did you know...

It’s harder for females to show a six pack?

Men have an advantage when it comes to displaying


visible abs due to genetic differences in body structure.
Women need a higher body fat percentage than men to function
efficiently. Referring to the chart on page 9, a man would be considered lean
around 14% will for a women it would be 16-20%

A woman’s body will naturally fight to keep more fat than a male making it a
harder task to show rock hard defined abs.

Did you know...

Six packs are not all the same?

All six packs are not made equal, they not only vary in
shape, size and number from person to person, the
individual ‘packs’ or to give them their technical name ‘muscle
bellies,’ can also vary in size and shape.

The number of muscle bellies that make up an individuals rectus abdominis


can vary from 4 to as much as 10. These muscle bellies are divided horizontally
by tendinous intersections and the vertical spilt down the middle is called the
linea alba.

COMPLEX
CARBOHYDRATES
There are two types of carbohydrates, simple and

starches) result in a steady slower rise in blood
sugar in comparison to simple carbs, which tend
to cause a more rapid spike in blood sugar.

Pasta and Rice (white bread, pasta and rice have


been refined and our bodies cannot use what’s

Good Complex Carbohydrates

Brown Rice

Brown rice is one of the richest sources of


carbohydrate. A single cup of brown rice
has approximately 45 grams of
carbohydrate. Wholegrain rice is
considered to be healthier than white rice
(refined grains) because they contain more
vitamins, fibre and minerals. They are lower in
their glycemic index making them absorb more
slowly providing more lasting energy and
promote less fat storage.

Oats

Oats has always been my breakfast of
