We’re not relaying those incidents to brag. We just want to
remind you that those types of pats on the back help fuel
motivation as you get in muscular shape—and they keep
coming. Once you start making X-treme Lean progress, you’ll
no doubt get lots of those types of comments, not to mention
a p p roving glances, with a raised eyebrow or two, from both
sexes. Is it all worth it? You bet it is! And you’ll feel great too!
Q: I want abs. What exercises should I do to get
them?
A:Believe it or not, getting abs is more about losing bodyfat
than exercise. Almost anyone will have abs if they get down to
below 8 percent bodyfat, and the diet advice in this e-book will
get you to that point as quickly as possible. You can do a lot to
achieve deeper lines of delineation in your midsection with
e x e rcise, however. Those lines you see—or want to see—are
caused by tendons running across and down the muscle, so
the more developed your rectus abdominis, the long, flat
muscle that runs from your ribcage to your pelvis, the deeper
the creases. There are some good ab programs in this book.
Just remember to try to increase the weight you use whenever
po ssi bl e. Th at w ill give yo u a l ittle mo re m usc le in t he
midsection and deepen those creases.
