HOW TO GET
SIX
PACK ABS IN
16 WEEKS OR LESS
Feb 26, Week 2 - M, W, F
Feb 26, Week One
- M, W, F
Workout Routine:
For the first
couple
weeks, I will be focusing on bodyweight training. You will notice
that
I superset between upper body and lower body. This will allow me
to
get a lot of sets done in a shorter time. I am a big fan of
supersets
to keep the intensity high and short.
You can
follow this program the way it is laid out. You may have to re-adjust
the reps according to your fitness level. Try to do this exercise
3 times this week in nonconsecutive days.
All exercises are done in supersets. For example,
Dive Bomber Pushup
are supersetted with Squat Jump. Do NOT rest within the superset
(between
pushups and squat jump), but rest 1 minute after squats before
repeating
the superset.

 Dive Bomber Pushup
1) Lie face down on the floor with hands palm down, fingers pointing
straight
ahead, and aligned at the nipple line.
2) Place hands slightly wider than shoulder width, and feet should be
at
hip width with toes on floor.
3) Start position: Extend the elbows and raise the body off the floor.
4) Lower your entire body (legs, hips, trunk, and head) 4-8 inches from
the
floor starting with the head first and follow with the shoulders and
waist.
It should look like you are diving down towards the ground.
5) Return to the start position by extending at the elbows and pushing
the
body up.
6) Remember to keep the head and trunk stabilized in a neutral position
by
isometrically contracting the abdominal and back muscles. Never fully
lock
out the elbows at the start position and avoid hyperextension of the
low
back.

2) Start position: Hang with arms fully extended and elbows forward.
Feet
may be crossed with knees bent.
3) Pull body up until bar is below chin level.
4) Return to start position.
5) Remember to keep the movement controlled with the body stable to
minimize
momentum and body sway. If the bar is too high, it is advisable to use
a
step to ensure proper hand placement as well as safety.
