Darren Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 This is the thing isn't it? At what point do you actually enjoy yourself... or even, what is more important... AND who are you doing it for? Why do men want a 6 pack? I tried for a 6 pack started to look really drawn in the face just wasn't worth it in the end...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 This is the thing isn't it? At what point do you actually enjoy yourself... or even, what is more important... AND who are you doing it for? Why do men want a 6 pack? I done the 'Abs diet' for 6 weeks. Not really a diet but just literally cutting the crap out and eating healthy, as well as exercising of course. On that routine it allows you one day a week where you can eat anything you like. ANYTHING. This way your body is not being forced to takes huge difference in what you consume. It kind of balances it out and makes the whole thing a bit easier for you. Me personally, im doing it for myself. I wanna look good on a beach. I suppose everyone wishes they were the perfect person. Nobody is. Well, apart from Jennifer Ellison or the entire cast of Hollyoaks but lets not go there. Why do men want a 6 pack? Who knows? I think its something like; If a man has a 6-pack it symbolises strength and power. Some women like that and hence like the 6-pack. Though not all. My ex never liked it. Thats why im doing it now.

MrAngry Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'm 6'4, 17 stone and perfectly happy! no dieting for me!! I never suffer from anything but colds.

Why do all woman want a flat stomach and small hips.....its 6 and two 3's I think, 90% of guys go into the gym with one goal to look good in my experience, being fit is only a fringe benifit for them....or is that just me:scare: **waits for abuse** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND who are you doing it for? Why do men want a 6 pack? For me, I like going to the gym. I love weight training, for some sick reason I really like that feeling the next day of muscles aching as you move. It also lets me eat anything I like, as often as I like, when starting off I used to be on shakes and all sorts, calorie intake daily of over 4000, even then i could control body fat. So without the shakes etc I have a large playing field. As I've quit smoking, I thought I'd see what I could do cardio and fitness wise, in my mind a good guage of that would be muscle definition and a 6 pack.

AND who are you doing it for? Why do men want a 6 pack? It's definately the feeling of feeling fit - There's nothing like it. Over christmas I didn't do a great deal and I've started to feel lathargic. I hate that feeling - I much prefer the feeling of coming into work after having done a 4/5 mile run. Having a trim build is like wearing expensive clothes or driving expensive cars, it's the way it makes you feel - I guess a six pack is a fairly good guage as to how well you've done (as with chest definition).

Nick Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Fight Club springs to mind.... The media and corporations trying to persuade you this is how you should look, so you're be happy....and buy into their products. It's all a load of bollocks really. If it makes you feel good then do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supralookin Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'm currently detoxing with the help of weight watchers meals and water. Over the past week I've lost my bloated belly and am on my way to a healthier me! I have a cycle excercise thingy but I don't really use it. Plenty of sit ups and sex is enough for me!

Shovels Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 OK - had Tuna tonight - normally I have to mix tinned tuna with salad cream to make ot bareable. But instead of tinned I had a tuna steak - OMG it is well nice - doesn't smell or taste fishy! (the main thing I don't like about tinned tuna is the smell) I would definately recommend it.

penguin Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 folks, another question.... how many of you use a "manual" threadmill compared to an electronic one?? i get really good speed and can last much longer on an electrical one compared to a manual one (always a significant drop in average speed..... which does raise a thought when i see people run an average of 4+miles..... i find it pretty tough doing close to three miles on a manual machine..... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Electrical treadmills have a phenomena known as the 'heel throw effect' i.e. the movement of the belt, because it is under power 'throws' the heel backwards - the best way to overcome this is to raise the inclien to a minimum of 4% - this offsets the effect. Personally I hate treadmills and exercise bikes - much prefer to be out and about. I quite enjoy Concept rowers though - I usually raise the front for a period then the rear to target the hamstrings/quads more:respekt: Really feel the burn LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, media is bad. It freaks me out how much people want to look at least ok, at what point did it become such a big issue? I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't be fit and healthy btw just that a 6 pack is... well... IMHO rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't be fit and healthy btw just that a 6 pack is... well... IMHO rubbish! Agreed.

Supragal Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Also.... and no offence to anyone here but all the guys that had 6 packs that I've known have been right ******* OK, not all, most. In a kind of "I'm so good, everyone look at me and love me" kinda way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
