How to Develop Wash Board Stomach Muscles
by Dustin Aaron
Almost everyone wants to be able to showcase their stomach muscles. Generally there are a lot of myths about abdominal training and what it takes to get your abdominal muscles to manifest. This article is about debunking the common myths surrounding the treasured six pack abs.
The majority of people already own quality stomach muscles. The problem is that those muscles are covered by a disgusting layer of fat. Now is a good time to stop contemplating how many crunches you can do and start thinking of increasing your metabolism. A higher metabolism means that you burn up more calories each and every day. The fastest way to increase your metabolism is to increase the amount of lean body mass on your body. Consequently, you need to focus your attention on becoming stronger. More muscle translates to more calories destroyed every day.
I'm going to stimulate a little bit of controversy here and say that if you want to burn fat, then building muscle is actually more worthwhile than addressing your diet problems. The simple truth is that you have to eat to live, thus you can only lower your caloric consumption so far before you are restrained by your biological needs. However, in theory, there is no max to the amount of lean muscular tissue you can place on your body. Which suggests that it is really easier for you to shed fat by trying to cultivate muscle then it is for you to try to destroy fat by limiting your caloric intake.
So what sort of exercise routines should you focus your attention on if you hope to develop a six pack of abdominal muscles? First, you should target a routine that includes plenty of full body workouts. Barbell squats, dead lifts, wind sprints, eight count body builders, jumping jacks, kettle bell workouts, and other strength developing physical activities should make up the bulk of your exercise routine.
Most of your training selection must focus on lower body, multi-joint physical exercises. For instance, kettle bell swings work your legs, back, rear, abs, and shoulders. This activity will build more muscle and eliminate more body fat than barbell curls. Until you develop a decent amount of muscle tissue and burn a decent amount of fat from your system, only a small fraction of your physical exercises will be abdominal specific movements.
Truth be told, your abdominals get a ton of work from the full body movements listed above, and once you start to build muscle and burn off some of the fat, your abdominal muscles will begin to come out of hiding.
