6 week ab plan? The Challenge Week 1
The quick way to body excellence?
How many of you have ever wondered, do the plans in fitness magazines like Men’s Health work? Can something which promises to change your physical appearance in only a matter of weeks deliver on its promise?
So for the next six weeks I will be following one of these plans, adjusting my diet accordingly and seeing if all the effort works. I will have to make one or two changes to the plan, simply because science and experience dictates multiple sets don’t work as effectively as single set to failure. Furthermore, due to a shoulder and knee injury picked up snowboarding this year I will need to use machine assisted exercises rather than free weights so I don’t incur further damage.
Now don’t get me wrong on this, my aim is to not disprove the theories or exercises in these magazines, on the contrary, if I wanted to do that I would stick to every last aspect to the letter and do the recommended exercises. (By doing the machine assisted exercises I am giving myself a further advantage for muscular growth and development of lean body mass).
Now I would consider myself to be in decent shape. A regular attendee of the gym and I have an active lifestyle, but not since I was 20 and living in Florence have I seen the remotest sign of a six pack, unless you count the beer in the fridge.
Can it be done in 6 weeks? Watch this space…
