Lean Body

Nowaday, in every fashion or fitness magazine, you'll see lean & tone models with "six pack abs" rather than big bulky guys. There is one thing you need to know, male fitness models have to workout harder than bodybuilders. Why? Lifting weights and bulking up is much easier than burning body fat and getting lean. To get big, you just lift with a high volume of lifts and progressively increase the weight over time. You don't have to be on a strict diet and you don't have to hit cardio hard. To get lean, you have to lift to maintain your muscle mass, you have to watch what you eat, and you have to hit cardio like a maniac. The reason you see very few guys in the gym with "six pack abs" is that getting lean is tough work.

If you want to lean down you just need to do a few things:

1. Perform Intense Cardio At Least 4-5 Times Per Week for 30-45 Minutes
2. Multiply Your Body Weight by 12. The Number You Get Will Be The Total Maximum Amount Of Calories You Are Allowed To Eat Each Day...Aim for Less If Possible
3. Quit Obsessing Over Strength
4. Quit Obsessing Over Protein Consumption
5. When In Doubt, Cut Back on Lifting And Increase Cardio
6. You Will See "Six Pack Abs" When You Get Lean Enough. Don't Go Overboard With Crunches and Ab Movements. Cardio is Your Ticket To a Six Pack.
