Build Six Pack Abs In Four Weeks – Take Two – Day Twelve
Friday February 1, 2013
After a day of not feeling well I got right back at it, did my core stretching and calisthenics workout today, the whole 22 minutes, more or less. More or less because I vary the amount of rest I take between exercises, I call it consistent inconsistency.
Laugh if you want but a little less than two weeks ago this fifty-one year old dude had a pot-belly, in two more weeks I’ll have my Six-Pack back.
I borrow a little muscle confusion from Tony Horton, I don’t do any other workout in any certain order. I just make sure I work every body part, arms, shoulders, back, chest and legs at least once a week, maybe twice.
With that in mind I did three sets of four pull-ups on my Door Gym right before dinner, with the same three variations, palms forward, palms backward and palms facing each other. When I did the same workout on Tuesday I could only do three pull-ups at a time, today I managed to do four, it may not seem like a major gain but it was a twenty-five percent increase. Not bad for a four-minute workout.
One reason I did my pull-ups right before dinner is because when you eat protein within an hour of working out more of what you eat is turned into lean muscle mass. By the end of next week I should be back up to eight to ten pull-ups to a set.
- 5:30 am I ate a packet of Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal.
- 12:30 pm I ate a third pound cheeseburger with a small side of French Fries. Going to miss them a little, next week I will cut beef from my diet for a while. Indulging while I can, in moderation of course!
- 5:15 pm I ate two pieces of baked chicken, a thigh and a drumstick, a cup of diced carrots and peas, maybe a cup and a half of mashed potatoes, no gravy and two buttermilk biscuits.
- 7:00 pm I ate three chocolate covered peanut butter balls, kind of like Homemade Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cups.
My weight was 178 pounds, seven down, eight to go!
