I have an Abdominal/nutrition question?


I've started working my abs more frequently and hope for results. I understand the importance of nutrition and know that i have to lower by BFP to get the results i'm looking for. But I'm an extremely hard gainer and have to intake up to 3500 calories a day in order for me to steadily grow. I don't want to slow my growth, but i hate not having abs. How do get abs and still keep up my muscular gains at the same time?

Having nice abs you can see doesn't have much to do with building the abdominal muscles as much as it does with lowering your body fat %.

Most people try to do this by just doing hours and hours of cardio. But in your case since you're a hard gainer, all this cardio would kill your chances of gaining muscle. That's why you should do interval training.

Its basically short periods of intensity mixed with short periods of rest. What this does is essentially smack your metabolism in the face to wake it up and force it to burn fat. Here's a perfect example that worked for me:

1 minute - jog (warm up)
30 seconds - sprint
30 seconds - jog
30 seconds - sprint
30 seconds - jog
30 seconds - sprint
30 seconds - jog
30 seconds - sprint
1 minute - jog (cool down)

This entire workout lasts less than 6 minutes but will absolutely kick your butt. When you sprint, go 100% full speed. At the end, you can jog for longer if you'd like until your heart rate calms down a little.

Do this everyday for a week and I will bet you anything you'll notice a difference. Most importantly, since its not an extended cardio session, you will save not only time but also muscle-loss.

Hope that helps.

Good luck!
