So many people see CrossFitters as genetically gifted freaks of nature. Looking at all the ripped physiques with shredded abs and popping muscles can get very intimidating. However the one question overall that I hear is: How do I get abs? Well, first off you are going to really really look into your diet. Nutrition is the foundation for fat loss. If your abs are covered with a layer of fat how are you going to see them. Having a solid clean eating program will be your number one asset in attacking your abs.
You need to be patient. In order for you to get abs is have a plan of action. You need to have goals and a baseline. In order to track your food, you NEED to track it ! You need to make sure that you are eating roughly about the same calories each day. You want to think of your calories as a budget system. If you have excess it will grow and visa versa. It’s a balancing act that you need to learn when watching your body. EVERYONE can grow leaner and make incredible progress. You key is just remaining patient and consistent with your efforts. Just because it take you longer than someone else, doesn’t mean it’s not inevitable with continued work. Keep working for what you want.
You have to raise your awareness by tracking your activity levels and by being HONEST! Knowing the work output will then determine whether you’re eating too many calories, or perhaps just too much of one given macronutrient. There are endless options you could try, but the simplest place to start is with an app like MyFitnessPal. After just a few uses, you might immediately see where you’re going wrong in the kitchen. It helps to keep you on track and focused on your nutrition.
Doing endless sets of crunches in hopes of spot reducing fat is fiction. But that said, to get the abs you’re after you DO need to put in A LOT of focused work. The best way to make any muscle group more prominent is to make it bigger. So, to get the six-pack you really want you need to do A LOT of progressive assistance work for your abs. Hollow-body holds and rocking, weighted sit-ups, barbell twists and anti-rotation drills, banded crunches, farmers carries and isolated ab work are all great options.If you want a more muscular and defined core, do this work AT LEAST 2-3 days a week. The more the volume piles up the sharper those abdominal muscle will get.
Being consistent in training, eating a healthy diet 85% of the time and performing isolation movements are the keys to get your mid line into shape ! You need to just let time take the course and remember it didn’t get there in one day so it will take longer to get rid of !
