ladies, how buff is enough?

[1Chat]

Just wondering, what body type a modern woman looks for when that thought "he just fine" goes through your mind, and how important abs are?

I don't work out, I like food too much, rich full flavoured food, and beer, but I work hard, so at any one point in time I'm 6 weeks away from a six pack, six from six I could say, but I never go there.....

That's it....its all over for me then.....Lol....

Undoubtedly a starting point right? Every day we wake up and look in the mirror we don't notice the change but we do change, so as a couple you grow together, where's the I've been changing, this is a hop on point?...does that make any sense??

I've worked in the fitness industry for about 5 years and go to the gym regularly. In my opinion, pretty much anyone can be 6 weeks away from a 6 pack if they work at it and control their diet.

Six weeks of Arnie's 3 sets of 25 crunches,......in six minutes a set.....6weeks of 6minute sets for a 6 pack...666....now that's getting devilish..

You just have to want it enough mate, and it has to be for you. doing it for a woman will fail because if it doesnt work out you'll give up.

And dont you waste one second of your time doing crunches! If anything it'll just give you rounded shoulders and back pain.

Interesting, so if not crunches, what then.....or is there a pill.....?.;-)

very naive question. . no such thing as good enough mostly. from my experience there always on the lookout for an upgraded model

 

[richm]

A barrel lasts longer than a six pack & is normally far better value ...!

May be naieve, but given the forum totally appropriate. Melbourne cup......wellllll.....ladies thank you, legs, bums, boobs and smiles......being a man is totally a joy, six pack or not...!

biggest muscles burn the most calories, which means legs and back, but to keep it balanced you need chest and shoulders too. Dont worry about smaller muscles like abs and arms, they get worked during the big movements and dont need to be focused, at least not until you get to your goal weight.

And ditch sugar, its poison, if you make no other change to your diet that one will be huge.

 

[rickman]

oh and as to a pill, steroids on their own would make about a 10% difference which isnt much, any other pill is gonna be weaker than steroids so unfortunately no, just hard work my friend

 

[Lana]

That's just Fine.

PERFECT​

 

[Xtraman]

Always open to any recommendations on Abs etc
currently transforming my 54yo body atm
shame about the old grey fucked up head though

My penny's worth - if a guy is too "Ken Doll", ie too buff, or too vain/bothered about his appearance, it's a turn off, as he seems far more interested in himself than me!

It's fine to want to be fit and healthy, but not to obsess over it. I'm all for a bit of softness round the edges (or skinniness). Being buff isn't the biggest turn on - being down to earth and good fun is.

Just sayin

Over and out....

Ain't that the awful truth.

Pages of crap about fancy celebrity diets and awesome workouts distilled down to one simple formula - eat fewer calories, burn more.

That's right. All of us have Abs. Most of us just choose to hide them discretely under a layer of fat. The secret to exposing them is to reduce the fat by eating less calories than we burn.

There's a bit more to it than calories in - calories out, hormones and stress levels are out of check these days. Also not all food is disgested/processed equally so some calories are worse than others (ie. sugar/alcohol)

But you're right, you cant make excuses until you have the basics down which is eat slightly less than you burn.

Some tips;
Drink more Water! (we're mostly water and most people are dehydrated)
Sleep at least 8 hours (I dont care if you function on less, its coming at a price)
Eat clean (meat and veg, and yes veg has carbs so they're ok)
Exercise 3-7 times a week for 30-45mins
And have fun, because when you're having fun you're destressing.
