THE DEFINITIVE 4 WEEK ABS WORKOUT
BY STEVE DENNIS “Six pack’s are made from this”
If you are training hard at the gym, ea2ng the right foods and just need some guidance to really expose your abdominal
muscles. This FREE workout will show you how. All you have to do is give 110% of your effort to the following Programme and fit it in around your current Training schedule.
A Six pack is a massive icon of how fit, strong and sexy you are. Guys want one & girls want guys who have one. Everyone would love to be able to take their tops off, on the beach or in front of their partner or next conquest to reveal a hard ripped Six pack. Now, for as long as there has been a fitness industry people have believed that all they have to do is 100s of sit-‐ups over and over again and they will get the “shredded look” -‐ Think of Rocky 4, when Stallone is doing hanging sit ups and gePng punched in the guts by his trainer. But I’m afraid that is all bollox.
The abdominal muscles are a bit more complex than that. Yes we have the “abs” or Rectus Abdominis on the front forming the main part of a Six-‐pack. Then on the side of that we have the External Oblique's. Then underneath that we have the Internal Oblique's. Then even deeper inside we have the TVA or the Transverse Abdominis. We need to work all these muscles to gain strength in our core so that they help and
support each other. That’s the best way to build core strength and then reveal your abs, or the
ever illusive SIX PACK! We need a bit more resistance to the muscles than just sit ups. Meaning we need heaviness to create a lot of tension on the muscles. Things like leg raises as legs are quite heavy, weighted sit ups & isometric holds like planks and side planks. That way we create heavy tension on the muscles and we can hit them from lots of different angles. Hopefully you are already doing weight training exercises like squats, deadli:s and chin-‐ups as these moves really help to create a strong core as well. If you don't have a great gym rou2ne that incorporates all these heavy compound liZs already please contact me and I'll give you my 4 week Body Building gym workout!

Now, there are the exercises. You are hiPng the gym 4 2mes a week, doing upper body and lower body weight training exercises, squats, deadliZs, bench presses, chin ups and more. Then we’ve just added the Midriff Maintenance Turbo Gym Workout so you are hiPng your abdominal muscles harder than anyone else in your gym, guaranteed. So all we have to do now is make sure you’re not going to hide all that muscle under the usual layer of fat.
So here is a base line nutri2on guide you should follow for the 4 week six pack revealing workout plan. Firstly we need to make sure you are in a calorie deficit, meaning you are ea2ng less calories than you are burning. To ensure that you burn off the layer of fat covering that sexy six pack. To do this we can use these targets here: Calories: Type 1: Very Ac[ve weight trainer: If you are training hard 4 x per week with nasty heavy weights then you can work out a calorie target like this. 26.5 calories per KG of lean Body mass. If you don't know your lean body mass then use your desired body weight. Type 2: moderately ac[ve Cardio trainer: 24 calories per KG of lean Body mass. If you don't know your lean body mass then use your desired body weight. Type 3: Sedentary lifestyle I’m sorry but of you are not willing to do some kind of exercise then this Programme is hardly going to help you. So I recommend you become a type 2 ac2ve person right away. If you need help with that then drop me an email and I will send you my Free home workout body blitz to get
started. For FREE.
NUTRITION GUIDE
Now you know how many calories you need to be consuming every day, 7 days a week.
No chea2ng at the weekend. At least for 4 weeks, can you manage that? But how do you know how many calories you are actually ea2ng every day? Easy. You use a food diary phone app called myfitnesspal. Download this app onto your phone and start entering everything that goes into your mouth. Set you targets/ goals up to suit you calories needs. Now for the bests of this 4 week we are going to presume that you want to shed as much fat as possible in 4 weeks. So we are going to eliminate starchy and sugary carbs. Meaning no bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, fruit and obviously no junk food, fizzy drinks , sweets and chocolates. Eat a caveman style diet consis2ng of mainly meat, fish, poultry, eggs, diary and veg that come from above the ground. If you are stuck for recipe ideas just send me an email on [email protected] and I will send you some free recipe books, my weekly meal plan and I will send you over a shopping list strategy straight away. If you avoid all the junk and any processed food then you will find it a lot easier to stay inside your calorie targets each day.

I see a lot of people buying Pre workouts these days. Save your money and enjoy a nice cheap cup of Nescafé that's all the caffeine you need.
The western world are now high in omega 6 and low in Omega 3. Sadly 6 is pro-‐inflammatory while 3 is an2-‐inflammatory so we need to get more into our diets. That is quite hard to do unless you eat grass fed meat every day along side wild fish. Supplemen2ng with O3 is an easy sure way to balance your omega 3 and 6 intake to keep you very healthy.
Especially in the UK we are all very low in Vitamin D as it come from the Sun. We don't have much of a summer and mostly work in doors for 8 hours a day anyway. Along with exercise Vitamin D is one of the best an2 depressants that I know of.
10 grams of L-‐Glutamine a day is now known to help heal leaky gut syndrome. If you have had a diet of ea2ng processed food. This could be one of the best supplements that you could start taking. Your Immune system is in your gut. 980% if the energy in the gut comes from the amino acid, Glutamine. Remember: Healthy gut = a healthy body
