Men With Six-Pack Abs Are Revealing What it Took to Get So Fit

Everybodys fitness journey is different, but its always good to share tips and insights with other people-especially when it helps bust workout myths. A recent thread on Reddit prompted men to get honest about how they (at least claim to have) attained six-pack abs, and what is and isnt productive, with a number of commenters concluding that, at the end of the day, its mostly diet and genes.

High-protein, low-carb diets, combined with plenty of cardio, proved a popular formula on the thread, as did abstaining from booze. One post claimed that The fat covering your abs really melts after cutting out alcohol, to which somebody replied: The closest I came to a six pack was when I quit drinking. After about a month, Id be able to tell the difference in the mirror after having two beers the night before.
