Looking for six-pack abs
I am 46, an intermediate bodybuilder, 6 feet tall, at 207 lbs, constantly striving for lower body fat while maintaining and gaining muscle mass. The one stubborn area I struggle with are abs. I do HIIT cardio daily, sometimes twice a day- incorporating things from the “300” cardio routine, sometimes wind sprints, kettle bell and the like — for about 20 minutes on an empty stomach- using only Nitric Oxide upon wake up.
The regular supplements I use are: Bulgarian Tribulus, Nitric Oxide 2, Creatine, L-Glutamine, protein shakes with water only, ZMA at Bedtime, DHEA, Multivitamin, EFAs in the form of Olive Oil. I eat a high protein, low in simple carbs, moderate in complex carbs.
You’re definitely on the right track.
There is little more you can do than train hard and persevere in mind and spirit. Not everyone can or will develop six-pack abs, and you might need to settle for a tight and strong midsection.
Seeking a six-pack can be frustrating, time- and energy-consuming and derail the musclebuilding process.
Precautions: Train to build muscle and might. Forget the Nitric Oxide and stick to the basics. Exotic supps and training tricks often lead to burn out. Unload the excess baggage — lighten up and fly right.
