The Top 5 Dumbest Things People do to get a Six Pack
Getting a six pack is right at the top of just about every guy’s wishlist. But when you take a look around at the average guy, he’s a long way from having a six pack.
And why is that? Well, there are two main reasons. Firstly, getting a six pack does require a lot of work, there’s no hiding from that. If anyone tells you otherwise, I wouldn’t listen to them at all.
Secondly, most people are going about it the wrong way. So in this article I’m going to outline what I think are the 5 dumbest things I see people do to get ripped.
Don’t stress if you’ve been doing any of them. It’s not really your fault. As you’ll see, the people who should be showing you the correct thing are actually misleading you.
Mike Geary’s #1 trick to flatten the stomach while driving…
If you’re already a reader of my Truth about Six Pack Abs manual, then you may already know this trick…
Now I will say that this does NOT increase fat burning, but it CAN help to flatten your stomach by strengthening your deeper transversus abdominis muscles and hence “pulling in” a lazy stomach.
It involves doing something called “ab vacuums”.
I find it a good time to get in the habit of doing daily ab vacuums while driving on your daily commute or another time that would get you in the habit of doing them regularly.

DIET, It’s a Dirty Word
Lose the word “diet” from your vocabulary!
According to Miller Jones, a professor of nutrition and food science at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota…
4th graders are aware of the word diet, especially the girls.
One of the world’s largest study of weight loss has shown that diets do not work for the vast majority of slimmers and may even put lives at risk.

Well fret no more, I’m going to let you in on the two ‘secrets’ that will help you shed unwanted fat and reveal your toned, flat stomach once and for all.
The TRUTH About Empty Stomach Cardio
Over the weekend I hit the gym with my buddy John for a morning cardio workout.
Now, I say “cardio”, but really it was a metabolic resistance training session.
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, the simple definition for metabolic resistance training is “cardio with weights”. We’ll cover this more in detail in another update so as not to get too off topic.
So we’re about 10 minutes into the workout and John looks like he’s in pretty bad shape (despite being in really GOOD shape). So I asked him what the deal was.
“I didn’t eat anything for breakfast.”
Me: Why the heck not?

Here’s how to combat Diet Disasters
People often think that in order to reach their Fat Loss goals they have to be perfect all the time. Not true.
Do you think I never “fall off the wagon”?
…Like the brownies at the last party I went to holding me hostage in one corner of the room, rendering me completely helpless with no emergency organic carrots in sight.
Foods That are Promoted as Healthy, But are not in Reality
Just yesterday, I was at the grocery store (supermarket) and had to shake my head at all of the clever deceptive labels with everything claiming all sorts of things that are supposedly “healthy”, but aren’t really. This is food marketing deception at it’s worst.
One of the things I noticed over and over that really disturbed me was that I saw several examples of healthy foods in their natural state, but I saw counterfeit overly processed versions of these original foods claiming that they were healthier than the natural version.
How To Determine If You Are a Hardgainer + Free e-book Shape up Now
The popular definition of a hardgainer is a person that works out hard with weights but has a hard time putting on muscle. Six weeks of working out can go by and no significant changes in muscle size are noted other than perhaps a bit of an increase in muscle tone.
According to this popular definition of a hardgainer, all of us are “hardgainers” because for the most part, putting on muscle is not an easy endeavor. The easiest period to gain muscle is during puberty. After that, gaining muscle becomes progressively harder as we age due to the fact that hormonal production starts declining between the ages of 25 and 30.
4 Foods for More Fat Loss
What foods should I eat for maximum fat loss? This is a common question that I get from clients and friends. There is so much new information out there everyday “X food is now good for you but Y food is now bad.” How can you possibly sort through all the junk science and sensational reporting to truly find out which foods will help you lose weight and which foods won’t?
Let me help. Here’s a look at foods that you should eat to maximize fat loss. These foods are listed in no particular order because they are all important.
When to do conditioning
With summer rapidly approaching I’ve been getting lots of questions about which conditioning methods will help you get ripped and in playing shape without compromising your size or strength, and exactly when should you do them.
First of all, I recommend a strength training schedule of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This leaves Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday or Sunday for conditioning and/or playing. To start you should be training on a four way upper/lower split. This means that you have two upper body days and two lower body days. You train three days per week rotating through the four workouts; so some weeks you will do upper body twice and other weeks you do lower body twice.
The Stomach Vacuum The Forgotten Exercise
The vast majority of people who engage in countless sets and repetitions of abdominal exercises such as crunches, leg lifts, and twists fail to see dramatic improvement, as if something is lacking. Are you among those who religiously train your abdominals, yet still fight the distending gut syndrome?
I can teach you a simple technique to reduce your midsection in as little as three weeks! By incorporating this technique, with your regular abdominal training and proper diet, it will reduce the size of your waist, and help to give you a carved midsection!
Are Abs Machines Necessary?
I’ll be honest… the average person doesn’t possess the patience required to develop a great set of abs or the work ethic to maintain it.
They lack the discipline and determination needed to achieve their goal. Many people go on “quick fix” fad diets to reduce their midsection. Others buy every
ab training gizmo and gadget advertised on TV only to end up folding them up and sliding them under the bed or using them as “expensive clothes hangers.”
Based on the amount of email I get on the subject, I know how fixated most men and women are about finding the “Holy Grail” of abdominal development in some type of machine advertised on TV.

Doberman Dan Barks Bench Press Pyramiding Bites!
“How You Can Add Up TO 50 Pounds To Your Bench Press IMMEDIATELY By NOT Pyramiding!”
From my very introduction to the Iron Game over 20 years ago, (geez, that makes me sound old!) all of the literature, books, and courses I’ve read or followed advocated “pyramiding” your weights on the basic exercises.
If you don’t know what “pyramiding” is, here’s an example using the bench press:
Set 1: 12 reps with 135 lbs.
When is it OK to eat Sugar?
One of two things happens when you even mention the word Sugar…people either jump up for joy, salivating for their next sugar fix or they go running in the opposite direction and avoid it like the plague (Hmm Lewis, which one are you?)
The sugar lovers, well, they just love their sugar and would probably sprinkle it on broccoli if that was socially acceptable. While others are so afraid of it they are even scared to eat foods like bananas, carrots and onions because of their high sugar content..huh?
