Get a "Six-Pack" w/o Ab Work?

HA - I kinda surprised the hell out of a dude the other day when I told him that a kickass cardio workout was the best thing he could do for a good looking stomach
and midsection.

Listen, for the VAST majority of people that want to look better, it comes down to one simple thing:

Bodyfat.

Take a look at all the people that want "six-pack abs". I get asked all the time via email, in person, and on forums what the best ab exercises are to get a "six-pack". And truth be told, is that no abdominal exercise in the world
will give you a "six-pack".

See, the thing is, is that EVERYBODY (that includes you) has "six-pack abs". However, you just can't SEE them b/c of the bodyfat covering them up.

So if you wanna get a "six-pack", you're never gonna have one if you have a gut. Get rid of your gut, and all of a sudden that "six-pack" is gonna be visible. The lower
your bodyfat, the better looking the midsection.

Crank out some basic abdominal work after getting your bodyfat down, and you're good to go.

And the best way to get your bodyfat down is via a well-designed and intense circuit training program. This kinda workout will:

-help you lose bodyfat (which we've been talking about)

-develop your overall musculature so that your entire physique is impressive (who doesn't want that?)

-get you stronger & more powerful (b/c you don't wanna look like a champ but perform like a chump)

Circuit training isn't just about cranking out a buncha reps on all the machines your gym has, though. It's about athletic movements, training heavy & explosively, using bodyweight exercises, ramping up intensity & backing off, and a bunch of other stuff that makes a good workout.

If you're ready to take that next step in developing your physique...including getting those "six-pack abs" everybody wants...then get the "Working Class Cardio Workout".

It's virtually a "plug & play" workout in that all the work has been done for you. All you gotta do is do the work.

And when you put in the work, you get the results. Like Aaron B. who lost over 30 lbs. Or Eric W. who has lost 61 lbs...and is still losing. (Congrats guys!)

Ready to do the work?

New Article @ MMA Weekly - Aerobic or Anaerobic?

Just wanted to let y'all know that my new article, "What's Better - Aerobic vs Anaerobic?" is up at MMA Weekly.com.

You can check it out here.

Take a look and lemme know what you think.

Oh, and if you're not already doing a whole lot of very intense skills training, then you're gonna need to up the game on your anaerobic training. Simple as that.

(The article will explain why.)

If this is you, the smartest thing you could do is to =>GO HERE and get your cardio, conditioning (as well as your strength, power, work capacity, and a whole ton of other stuff) on point.

More Work = More Gas

I like to preach about how sometimes people worry about theory too much, and would be better off just getting their ass in gear and doing some damn work.

Well, here is a perfect example. Got another awesome email, and I just had to share it:

"I just got back from the Ukraine where I participated in a Combat Sambo tournament. I used your Working Class Cardio program in order to get my cardio and stamina
back into shape...

...I got to the semi-finals where I severely strained my ankle trying to block a throw and therefore had to quit...

...Nonetheless, Working Class Cardio is great for combat preparation! All the guys I spoke to were only doing long runs and sprints to prepare for competition, thinking that weights would have slowed them down. Combination of calisthenics and heavy dumbbell work really improved my gas tank, and made me retain my strength gained from 5x5 program."
-Nikolay

Now, I keep reading (and getting involved in) all these "aerobic vs anaerobic" conditioning discussions - esp as it relates to MMA and other combat sports training.

The Working Class Cardio Workout bases itself on something a lot more simple than all that:

-do a bunch of freakin' work
-do it heavy
-do it fast
-rest as little as possible

Know what the end result is?

You get your ass in friggin' shape. That's what.

=>GET IN SHAPE NOW

Did You See These Pics?

A couple months back, I put together a little article about one of my long-time customers - a dude named Aaron.

This guy has kicked some major ass, and he had sent me some pics of his progress.

Whoa.

And here's the thing - he's not even done...sort of a "work in progress" kinda thing.

What do I mean by that? Ah, just go check the article and find out...

=>See Aaron's Pics

Aaron isn't the only badass in his family, though. His brother Matt has been kickin' ass, too. In fact, Aaron and Matt have a little "sibling rivalry" going in who can do their workouts best, w/the most weight, the shortest rest, etc.

(In fact, keep your eyes peeled over the next couple weeks - I've got Aaron & Matt beta-testing my new workouts...and they're killer!)

More soon.

Just posted a new blog over at the GI Nutrition site. This time, it was a rant about one of my biggest pet peeves - the excuses I'm always getting from people saying they "don't have time to work out".

Jeez, what a bunch of pure, unadulterated, complete crap.

Go check it out:

You Don't Need "Cardio" to Get Cardio

Just got in a kickass cardio workout - and the best thing about it was that I did no actual "cardio".

I'm actually going back and doing my own Working Class Cardio Workout. (Yeah, I do my own workouts...unlike a bunch of the other fitness "gurus" out there.)

I keep telling people you can get kickass cardio, fat loss, heart benefits, and everything else without having to actually do "cardio".

B/c let's face it...cardio sucks. Right?

So how to get cardio w/o doing cardio?

By doing a ton of damn work and resting very little. For example, my workout today had roughly 10 mins of bodyweight GPP (I upped the ante here from the actual workout), over 150 med ball woodchoppers, 400 seal jacks, lifted over 18,000 lbs total, and more. Never rested more than 20-25 secs at a time, and the whole workout took <40 mins.

Think I didn't just improve my cardio? Damn right I did.

My 1st Run in MONTHS

Well, it *actually* happened...and I'm still having a hard time believing it.

We got snow and ice here in central North Carolina.

LOL.

And in typical fashion, most of the area shut down. Schools were canceled, churches didn't hold services, and everybody flocked to the grocery stores to get their
milk, bread, and eggs.

(As an aside...WTF is w/everybody wanting milk, bread, and eggs before a big storm comes in? *shrug*)

Anyway, when the storm hit, we got a bunch of ice, freezing weather, and even some snow. The ice was crazy...was coming down like snow...only it was ice.

What an awesome time for a workout. ;-)

Call me crazy, but I couldn't help myself...I had to be outside working out in the crazy weather. I usually work out outside anyway - which is a major benefits of using dumbbells, medicine balls, calisthenics, etc - you can train anywhere. But I just *had* to get a workout in outside in this nutso weather.

So what did I do? I went old school - some good ole' traditional roadwork. Went for a run through a wooded area near the house...then went for another one later that day...in the snow and ice...through the forest...all bundled up...

Pure Rocky IV style, baby.

Here was the cool thing though - I had an awesome run! Felt great. Had fun. Ran hard. Kickass workout.

Why was that so cool?

B/c before then, I literally hadn't run anything over probably 50 yards in while. Quite a while, actually. As in MONTHS.

But there I was....doing it like it was nothing.

Wind was great. Conditioning was great. Endurance was through the roof.

How?

B/c of the hard workouts I've been doing. Plenty of circuit training, complexes, intense full-body movements, little rest...

...you know...all the kinda stuff found in the "Working Class
Cardio Workout"
.

I dunno what you think, but me, I thought it was pretty kickass to be able to have such an awesome run...when all my workouts have been (more or less) standing in one place.
