Sorry I missed last week… lately I have been so busy with writing new music for my new album and working out for my six pack abs, that I have had little spare time.
Trying to get six pack abs is hard. I don’t come by them naturally. The last two weeks have really tried my patience. I want to get six pack abs but I can’t figure out how to do it…
What I mean by that is that I am doing what I think I should be doing, but I am not seeing the results I want to see. I definitely have made progress, but I want to see more progress and faster. 
But I guess this is one of the main reasons I am doing this: teaching myself patience and perseverance to achieve a difficult task.
Last Monday I was just about ready to give up. I was at my friend’s house and we were working on legs (which I hate doing) and I was just not very into it. I started to get down emotionally and just stopped working out. I lay there for like half an hour just thinking about what I’m doing and why I’m doing this and whether or not it’s worth all the trouble.
After some self-evaluation I wrote the following: “I am the master of my own fate. Wallowing in self-pity will get me nowhere.” Then I started to think about my personal beliefs about the power of the individual and why I was doing this: “To prove to myself that just because something’s difficult doesn’t mean I can’t do it.” Then I looked at my situation… lying there while I could’ve been working on achieving my goal. Wanting to give up because it was hard. Looking at myself and seeing how weak I wanted to be… and wanting to give in… that’s when I wrote this: “I was here and didn’t want to do it. I figured that’s exactly the reason why I should.”
So, I got up and worked out. My friend had already finished his workout but I just kept going until I had completed mine.
It’s amazing how the choices we make determine the kind of person we will be. I could decide that I’m going to stop working on getting six pack abs. If I do that, I will never get them. Or I could decide to keep on struggling. If I keep on, there is a chance I will make it. And I will get stronger, healthier, and show myself how determined and dedicated I can be. And if I can do that when it comes to six pack abs, then I can do it for anything.
Anyway… I decided to include some of my personal struggles with this goal so that you can see more clearly why it is so important to me. It is so much more than just looking good (which will be a positive by-product lol).
Anyway, now on to the current six pack abs photos. The first two are from last week on Wednesday, and the second two are from today.

Stop lifting. Do cardio twice a day. Make sure that as part of your cardio you are doing HIIT exercises. You’ve got plenty of muscle, you just need to cut back on size. Muscle is burned after fat, so don’t worry if you lose some muscle mass as your slimming down. You’ll still have plenty left. That’s the way that body builders and models do it. You put on a ton of muscle and bulk up. Then, you cardio your brains out which burns off a lot of the size, but leaves behind enough muscle to make you look cut.
thanks Brad! do you still work out a lot? what do you do for your workout?
