You can do ab exercises until the world ends, but unless you have a low body fat %, no one will ever see them. So you will definitely need to go on a diet, and a good one. Low or reduced-carb diets work very well for me and most others. On top of that, you will also need to find yourself a good exercise program - something that will keep you busy for 40-50 min/day, 4+ days/wk. Start here.

A six pack isn't the easiest thing to get, you need to work out a lot and eat very healthy. Even then, it will take time.

Also, your abs won't neccessarily look like they do in the commercials just based on your own unique musculature. Plus, I can see your stretch marks getting worse (ewww). I have nasty stretch marks across my abs even though they've got good definition on the washboard. Doesn't look like a 6 pack... more like a washboard or 8pack but the stretch marks means the shirt doesn't come off in public for the benefit of all. :p:)

I'm not vain enough to use that cosmetic cream to mask the stretch marks... plus, big arms are easier to show off. ;)
I like this site... their big arms workout worked lickety split for me.

dnp and fina eh.. i heard bad things about dnp


yea, mixing DNP with X is playing with death. X dehydrates you, and DNP makes you sweat.

Now, Fina on the other hand, is the juice of the gods. Awesome results. Not that *I* do it :)

Run non-stop until you finish, walk fast if you have to.

Week 1
day 1, run 1 mile.
day 2 run 2 milles
day 3 run 2 miles ,5 sets of 3minutes of jump rope, 10 sets of situps,, it's up to you on how many per set,, say 30?
day 4 run 2 miles
day 5 run 3 miles
day 6 run 3 miles
day 7 rest , 5 sets of 5minutes of jump rope, 10 sets of situps,, it's up to you on how many per set,, say 35?

week 2
day 1 = 2 miles
day 2 = 2 miles ,5 sets of 5minutes of jump rope, 10 sets of situps,, it's up to you on how many per set,, say 35?
day 3 = 3 miles
day 4 = 3 miles ,5 sets of 5minutes of jump rope, 10 sets of situps,, it's up to you on how many per set,, say 35?
day 5 = 3 miles

If you're having trouble getting into running (which is what you HAVE to do to lose that gut fat layer) this is the BEST way to work your way up to running 3+ miles a day:

Couch to 5K Running Program

Do NOT try any fad, or drastic diets. Simply balance your diet, and cut out all the crap. Most people do take in too many carbs and too little protein. So the best thing to start with is trading startches with vegetables, and trade chips/cookies/fries, and other carb munchies with fruit or protein bars. In fact, try eating apples at least three times a day between meals instead of the crap most people munch on.

Instead of eating three big meals a day, eat 5-6 smaller meals daily.

Try and trade many of your meats with fish like tuna and salmon, or chicken and turkey. Lean beef is fine in moderation.

Start a WHOLE body resistance training program. As someone else pointed out, your whole body is under developed. What you want to do is build muscle while losing fat. To do so, you're going to have to take in LOTS of protein in combination with your weight lifting routine, and do LOTS of cardio.

There are many good protein powders out there that will give you a good amount of high quality protein. You're going to need this if you get serious about weight lifting. Right now I'm getting very good results with Twin Labs Triple Whey Fuel three times a day (morning, after workout, and evening)

Your weight lifting routine should never work the same muscle groups two days in a row.

I would start on a push/pull routine:

Push: Chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, quads and squats
Pull: Back, lats, anterior shoulders, biceps, lower back, hams and calves.

Do it like this:

Mon: Push
Tue: Pull
Wed: Off
Thu: Push
Fri: Pull

Do your cardio 4 days a week. Ramp it up to 5 or 6 days later if you feel you can. The key here is to not burn yourself out by doing too much too soon, and avoid injuring yourself.

And finally, live by this: Overtraining is counter productive. Not only will you see better gains when you don't over train, your body will thank you in 20 years, trust me. Work out smart. It's all about quality, not quantity.

Why is the pic so shocking? It just looks like an average kid who doesn't workout (and never has). At least he's not obese. His body has great potential if that's what it looks like with no exercise.

I may be wrong, but aren't most of those 'roids or pretty extreme anabolic products? Finaplix, Winstrol, etc? Please educate me :)
