Episode 467 - Everything You Know About Abs is WRONG


Listen Later

Doing 100 crunches a day for your six-pack? You're wasting your time. In this myth-busting episode, we dive into groundbreaking research from the University of Sydney's analysis of 120+ studies that proves spot reduction is physically impossible—those crunches aren't burning ANY belly fat. We expose why training abs daily actually causes muscle breakdown (not growth), reveal the exact body fat percentages needed for visible abs (10-12% for men, 16-20% for women), and share the 3 scientifically-proven exercises that are 290% more effective than traditional crunches. Plus, we'll hit you with the harsh reality: the average person needs to lose HALF their body fat to see abs, and why compound lifts like squats and deadlifts build better abs than any crunch variation. 

Episode Highlights:

  • Why spot reduction is a myth (with proof from tennis player studies)
  • The REAL body fat percentage needed for visible abs
  • 3 exercises that destroy crunches in muscle activation tests
  • Why training abs daily makes them WEAKER
  • The compound lift secret to better abs
  • How long it ACTUALLY takes to get a six-pack (spoiler: 6-12 months)
