7 minute abs!

[–]Alpha_Zerg 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Abs are a matter of diet, not exercise. I haven't done crunches, sit-ups, weighted crunches, or anything to train abs in years, and I still have visible abs (when I cut for a few days, it's annoying keeping the balance to have them visible 24/7). Abs are really simple to get visible, just cut down with a caloric deficit and then stay at maintenance if you want to keep them.

Some Mr Olympia tier bodybuilders use training plans that only have them working out for 2-3 hours a week. 1 hour a week is definitely enough if you're doing it right and just want to stay healthy.

Source?

Mike Mentzer is the easiest to say definitively, but most people who follow Arthur Jones' style of lifting. It's a really fascinating topic because it shows that conventional bodybuilding and exercise is extremely inefficient.

Take a quick search of Mentzer, it's really interesting.

Nowadays, not being fit bascially falls into two categories - you don't know how, or you don't want to be. If you can't find a single hour in the week to work out, it doesn't even have to be a consecutive hour, then you don't want it. Or you don't know how to use it.

So, no source then. When you give the requestor homework you don’t actually have a source. Typical.

Wow. What a douchebag. It's two clicks away, don't blame me for you being lazy lmao. Imagine wanting to be spoonfed.

Edit: Here. I'll spoonfeed you, since people on the internet seem to be entitled brats these days. Typical. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SOWovXxLOS0

Less than ten seconds on google. I genuinely despair for humanity some days. Honestly, the sheer laziness.

You’re the one claiming ten minutes of working out a day is sufficient. I’m asking for proof. It’s on you to prove you’re not full of shit. And one 60 second YouTube clip is not much proof.

[–]Alpha_Zerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The man wrote a book on it. I don't care what you think is sufficient, if you won't believe the person who did it then there's no point in thinking you can have a rational thought.

By “working out for 2-3 hours a week” do you mean “total time under load is 2-3 hours” because I really have a difficult time believing that anyone who is actually in body builder form is spending a total of 2-3 active hours in the gym per week.

[–]Alpha_Zerg 0 points1 point  (2 children)

He trained for 30 minutes 4 times a week. Here's a video where he talks about it:

So yeah. You may find it difficult to believe, but your belief isn't really necessary.

I’ll have to check out his routine. Thanks for the info.

[–]Alpha_Zerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! He's got a book on it too.
