Finally Exposed - The Secret Hollywood Six Pack Abs Workouts! The Tricks of Movie Actors Revealed

This article was last updated Thursday, February 02, 2012

It feels like all muscled Hollywood actors are in on some kind of secret training information that no one else in the world has access to. I mean, how is it that they can go from flabby to absolutely ripped in just a few weeks in preparation for their movie roles? And most importantly, how do all these guys get ripped six packs in just a few weeks when most other people can't get them at all?

Here's the deal: these actors aren't doing anything unnatural or unhealthy. They just happen to be able to pay big bucks for the best trainers in the world who guide them every step of the way. These trainers get paid a lot of money to do their job, so they're pretty tight-lipped about their secret training techniques.

That doesn't mean I can't spill the beans, though. It's time to reveal how a six pack is built, Hollywood style. Get ready for some surprises.

First of all, these guys are doing FAR less abdominal work than you think. That's because the abdominals work a little differently than other muscle groups. While your goal with other muscle groups is hypertrophy - or, in other words, growth - the goal with your six pack is to have it as flat and "washboard" as possible. Countless sit-ups, crunches, and weighted ab work will only cause your abs to grow in size, just like training your other body parts cause their muscles to grow.

If you have any fat on your belly already, crunches and sit-ups will only make it look like you have an even bigger gut than you really do!

The real truth is that you already have six pack abs... they're just waiting underneath any excess fat sitting on your belly! It may seem counter-intuitive, but you actually need to train the rest of your body and eat the perfect diet for fat loss in order to bring out your six pack abs. Instead of focusing your efforts on performing hundreds of sit-ups, that time would be better spent with an ideal fat loss routine.

To simplify it greatly, Hollywood actors get their amazing abdominals from working all their other body parts and focusing on losing as much fat as possible, not from performing hundreds of sit-ups and crunches for hours on end. It seems so counter-intuitive, but it's the real secret behind countless Hollywood transformations
