Hi, my name is Adrian Clinton and I'm a Recreation Specialist from Florida. At 6 feet tall, 175 pounds, and with a 30 inch waist, I get so much attention on my shape and abs. There is no secret to having great abs. All that you read in books and magazines on great abs, are the same. All you have to do is apply what most of this article suggests. Well, that is what I have done, and the results have been rewarding. My ab training has been a trial and error type program. My meals are small in portions and I have to be really disciplined when trying to obtain great looking abs. The key word I just used is discipline! I can't eat large amounts of bad food, when I feel hungry. If I did, my abs would not show like they do now. So, what do I do? I'm glad you asked. Below is not a sample, but what I eat everyday, along with my ab exercise and weight program.

Weight Training Program  

Monday: back & chest - wide grip pull downs 4 sets of 6 - flat bench press 4 sets of 6 - low cable rows 4 sets of 6 - inclined bench press 4 sets of 6

Tuesday: shoulders and arms - military press 4 sets of 6 - dips 4 sets of failure - barbells 4 sets of 6

Wednesday: legs - squats 4 sets of 6 - leg curls 4 sets of 6 - leg extensions 4 sets of 6 - Repeat cycle with Sunday rest day

Cardio and abs is performed on Monday, Wednesday Friday for 30 minutes first, after this I go right into your weight program.

Ab Program

Hanging leg raises 3 sets of 15 - reverse crunches 3 sets of 20 - crunches 3 sets of 20 to 40 -alternate crunch 3 sets of 20

EVERYDAY MEAL PLAN - I eat every 2-3 hours

Mornings: oatmeal with water or boiled eggs with lean turkey bacon

Mid morning meal: protein shake or 2 apples and water

Noon meal: Salad with tuna

Mid afternoon meal: salad with chicken and a banana

Evening meal: chicken breast with salad or @ slices of turkey loaf and fruit

That's it!! When I get the cravings, I get a 8 oz cup of my cereal that is low in fat and sugar and munch on that. I eat no sweets, except for the cereal. I sometimes have oatmeal (5) times, a day with water. This nutrition program is a program that allows me to be disciplined but also eat the best foods for maintaining my physique and level of fitness. I'm able to keep my muscle and shape by lifting heavy weights. Remember, in order for me to see my abs I have to do cardio to shed the layer of body fat. I believe everyone has abs, you just have to get rid of the layer of fat that covers them. My program works for me. As for supplements I use a Whey Protein powder and Multi-Vitamin and that's it. I hope this insight into my workout schedule and nutrition program will help you on your quest for building great abs. Remember, " A happy body, is a healthy body!"
