Cut out carbs and sugars from your diet (don't even use artificial sweeteners, ugh) and do a lot of weighted crunches and you may have them by June 29th.... 2011.

Is there anything you aren't an expert on?

Getting laid.

I'll strategically shave some belly hair

do you have a bonus bellybutton or is that just an AIDS scar ?

Just shave your hair into the shape of a six-pack and be done with it.

I agree with everything except doing weighted crunches, yeah your abs can grow but they're not absolutely necessary.

Think about what your abs are for and work out accordingly, when the fuck ever do you need to do a crunch-like movement unless you're blowing yourself? (which I do 3x/day) use your abs for stability. Do squats and deadlifts, do planks/prone bridges (same thing) for as long as you can with proper form, record your time and improve upon it. Eat meat and vegetables, don't eat any carbs that don't come from vegetable sources, no grains, limit your fruit intake, and if you consume A LOT of dairy, bring it down or get rid of it completely (some in your coffee is fine) eat good fats like avocado, coconut oil, olive oil, coconut milk, animal fat/skin. Also, to drop fat you may want to try Intermittent Fasting, there's many different forms of IF but the one I'm following is where you don't eat for 16 hours and eat for a window of 8hrs (no Soiled Fatass you don't eat for all 8 hours, you just have 8 hours to play with so to speak) the first to say that your metabolism will stall and you will go into starvation mode gets to eat hamelia's box. Research on the topic suggests otherwise, you need to go above 30hrs without food before your body starts going nuts, some go for 48hrs, these are real men we're talking about here...

Anyway, work out in a fasted state (so, within the 16hr window in which you're not eating), keep the workouts short and intense, every now and then go for sprints, forget about long hours of cardio. Last word on IF: Since you're factoring in the hours you spend sleeping, it's actually incredibly easy to do, by 8am you already have 12hrs of not eating, so I workout around 8:30-9am for about an hour and then eat around 1-2pm. I mostly eat twice a day, sometimes three but I eat plenty of protein, fat and some carbs in this period. Actually, for me it's been mostly 18hr fasts and 6hrs fed. It's been two months since I started minding what I eat but only about 3 weeks to a month that I incorporated IF and the scale says I've lost 14lbs but I notice my body composition is changing and that I've added a bit of muscle (mostly on my legs) even though I'm in a calorie deficit. Most importantly though, I'm progressively making strength gains, I went from not being able to do more than 3 dead hang pull ups to about 3 sets of 12 as my last personal best.

Dude, you're on your way to being a machine, don't pussy out on us now...

judging from your pic I'd say in two months you'd have noticeable abs... shit, just changing your diet will do it, exercise will help though.

Sweet. I squat 3 times a week and deadlift once or twice a week. I'm two or three workouts away from squatting my bodyweight 5x5.

Should I start losing weight now or when?

so let me get this straight... a guy who subscribes to intermittent fasting is talking about what is and isn't a real man.

perhaps you've heard of the "does not inspire condfidence" thread...

paleo abs

As your boyfriend would say it I was being "facetious" about the real man talk. Issues with intermittent fasting? I bet you do it more often than you realize, ever skip breakfast? boom, fasted.

What do you eat like? do you actually want to lose weight? I mean outside of this ab competition thing, it looks like you don't really need to unless you want that ripped look. I think just minding what you eat and staying away from shit everybody knows is not food is all you really need.

1. "that ripped look" is exactly what this whole thread is about
2. I don't know if we can endure this gurupreaching much longer without some nudie pics, youthser
