It was mid of June 2018 & as soon as I reached gym, I was greeted by my mentor coach, Shaad bhai, who appreciated my efforts in defeating another fellow member in recently concluded weighted planks competition(25 kgs) by holding 25 seconds more. I was waiting for this moment & recognition for quite some time given my focus on core exercises for last 6 months. Now my focus was to build 6 pack abs.
Shaad bhai: Sushant ji, we need to look into strengthening your “abs” and bringing the upper part of body into a muscular shape. Let us focus on building strong abs to start with.
Me: Agreed shaad bhai, we need to focus on “abs” & “oblique” workout.
We started our workout with spiderman push ups, dumbbell side crunches, side planks, half crunches & mountain climber. However, I found it so hard to do more than 2 sets that my stomach & abdomen started paining.
Shaad Bhai: Sushant ji , let us do 5 to 6 reps per set & increase weights slowly.
Me: Copy that Shaad Bhai!
Over a period of next 2 months, I steadily increased the reps & weights besides indulging into other advanced abs workout viz bicycle crunches, dragon fly, 90 degrees leg raise & 90 degree leg hold. As a result I could observe formation of abs on upper part of abdomen.
With increase weights on oblique exercises & focused low sodium, low fat & low sugar content diet, I could also observe positive changes in my oblique fat & toning of oblique muscles. While one of the abs started getting visible and following the same routine I was able to build 6 pack abs within 7 months time.
