[renny9443]

@JacksonVille

Yeah.. That program offered by the site

AmazingAbs.info

delivers an in-target program for the too

flabby stomach. It emphasizes a total

body balanced approach. I was once a

fat guy here with flabby stomach and the

program transformed my flab into a

fitness champion in just a short weeks.

Protein for muscle,Carbs for gaining. But what you eat,how you eat it ect does play a part,even your sleep plays a role.

[kidspwnwidrange]

The only way to see an effective way to see your abs is to lose fat.

I have a 6 pack, not going to lie. My chest is big, not going to lie.

But, it's covered over fat. So I'm just big, not ripped. I'm 5ft11 210 I believe, with 7% body fat I'd be 180 lbs. So yeah, I have 30 lbs on me in my butt, legs, and upper body. Otherwise I'm a monster. Losing fat = Showing Off Them Sexy MUSCLES.

[gekisen01]

so you gotta take in a surplus of calories to get bigger muscles? won't that make you fat?

[VirusExecute]

@gekisen01 Not if your are burning or using the calories (energy) before your body gets the chance to store it. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you are naturally burning. It's a very complex subject but to lose weight, you need to be burning more calories then you are taking in. For muscle growth you have to make sure you are eating enough of the right foods (whole meal gains, and other non-processed foods) for your body to be able to use it to grow.

[johnyboyproduction]

thanks for the vids! 

[asmukkar]

4 people are fruit flies.

[itouch91100]

can only ruining make you lose burn your fat if i run alot 

[Programmerx]

@itouch91100 Anything that elevates your heart rate for 15 mins to a certain point will make you burn fat..With a proper diet

[itouch91100]

@Programmerx but what kind of diet i should do

[00Mass00]

Like the hat xD 

[Rayrockny]

Scott , I have a real question for you. I would like to know if you do any cardio if so how much? I would like to put some weight and decided to follow your workouts for three month to see if I can get my weight up. but I'm worried that doing cardio will burn away any extra muscle that I put on. Should I do cardio of will my extra muscle be enough to burn away the lingering fat??

[MaBuSt]

@Rayrockny scott does cardio ~ once a week, ~7 mile run on like a sunday. In general, he always does ~15,20min cardio run before he does his weight lifting so that he can get his heart rate up to a fat-burning zone. In general, he does very little cardio, but he does eat right and he works his muscle groups so that it tares through his fat.

In the long run , this is great. In the shorter run, if you do have time, you can spend time doing cardio each day and that will assist in fat burning.

[heyitsthatoneguy91]

I just jog for a few minutes or bike to get the blood flowing. It makes hitting the weights easier imo. and they can spot reduce fat now, they suck it up into a big tube thingy, freeze the fat cells which then die off and flush out..saw it on dr. oz the other day lol..but its a gay show..or was it another? but id rather just jog

[stefanbabe]

Hey Mr. Herman ;)

I love your videos and they are very helpful. But i have a question.

How much cardio do YOU do?

[MrAlexeqz94]

excuse you for smiling? dude you can laugh at us no problem!

[AdioAndrew]

lookin a lot more thicker here scott, any reason? lol

[tasopicollo43]

why is everyone bothered when scott doesnt wear a shirt? i dont get it. its not like he has a disgusting belly or something. he has a great body that he has really worked on why not show it?

[retroboydeccles]

Cheers man =)

[crapysk8718]

i read letters with my shirt off too

[andre178]

@MELLAD4 are you turned on?!

[frogstomp91]

Hey Scott, I used to be pretty lean and when i would sit down my abs were still visible like how yours are when you sit down, I've gained a little bit of fat over my abs now though and I've been doing crunches and I don't do cardio. Will the crunches get rid of most of this body fat in time then? Or should i incorporate some cardio into my workout? Thanks!

[Bic1988]

@frogstomp91 Doing crunches alone doesn't burn fat... The only way to lose fat is to maintain a healthy diet and to do cardio, 20 minutes minimum per day.

[aguichris]

this kids a wrecking machine

[ericmilou]

you could answer the question with a shirt on, don't you?

[MUSCLES603]

Thanks for the help dude

[RankDoorMatt]

hey scott im not sure im my pecs are pecs or a mixture of muscle or fat how squsihy are your pecs mine are not super rock hard but not fat in any way?

[SatanTrain]

the thing about spoting places you want to burn fat hes right you cant, fat comes off where its put on last so if you load fat ass, thighs stomach, it will come off stomach thighs ass. but we all know theres fat marbled into muscle look at steak, the fat in there burns as well but it can actually somewhat spot burn by when you initially start to work a muscle your body will take energy from the fat in lets say your tricep it wont take straight from the stomach but thats not like a major thing.

[MostRecklessENT]

look at the tabs "hot sexy crunches"

[JungleFoxx]

Scott how do you kill flies so gracefully?? ;) Haha just playin! Great videos man, love em!

[QuikSurfer332]

@initbludROFL I was what the hell is this guy talking about until the last few seconds of the video haha

[Jessetsi]

Nobody can say that scott wouldn't hurt a fly... he killed that sucka

[harizlee]

fruit flies? is that a hint?;) j/k.....good video regardless

[girlvampi]

1:55 excuse me for smiling? :)) men you can smile when you want =)

[quanboy24]

hey scott if i just do cardio and have a diet will i get abs

[raginghell14]

@quanboy24 no that's fucking dumb. abs are a muscle you have to work them out or you'll just get skinny and have a ugly stomach

[Gmilla27]

@raginghell14 actually everyone has that ripped ab look otherwise we would all be floppy and couldn't stand up sraight, its just under the fat that most people get around their stomach, when you do ab workouts its mainly to strengthen your back

[MrLjdanao]

how do u get cutz?

[onyxman8]

Thanks for telling the truth!!! Too many fitness gurus will lead folks astray doing their "Special Routine", especially about localized fat reduction.

[shalom444]

Scott. I've heard that without Cardio is almost impossible to lose Fat. According to what you have said here, Cardio is a tool. I have been going to the Gym and doing 10 minutes of warm up Cardio, then my weight training for 45 minutes and then 20 more minutes of Cardio. Its that ok? and I am doing Interval Training. I just want to make sure I am not messing up my muscle resutls. Thanks for the great imput on your videos.

[heyitsthatoneguy91]

I read short sprints (not necessarily your FULL speed, maybe 7-8.5mph) really warms up your abs, because your core is moving so much. I have found it works quite well, I suggest you try it..don't wear yourself out too much still gotta do ab workouts

[Coolrukawa]

you looke like frank mir

[freakthug16]

Hey there!

I din't get what you just said about burning the chest fat!

Should I DO CHEST WORKOUTS OR NO?

Cuz my gym trainer told me not to work on chest muscles until the fat is gone! :S

So What do you think?

Thanks

[CarmenDelCrec]

@freakthug16 you should do them he probably doesnt want you to focus on them too much because you need to loose the fat before its actually visible but the results are the same with or with out fat, you might not see them with fat and get unmotivated, thats probably why he tells you not to. If that help :)

[aceoangels]

yes dunce - there is no point in waiting till the fat is gone. Do your cardio which burns fat AND do your weights - unless you are very overweight - which should render a high cardio workout first to get your %fat down

[XxJakoBentleyxX]

What cardio do you personally do and how often do you do cardio sessions?

[killerxela]

scott, i have very little fat, and some days my abs will look very good. and some days i can barley see them. so my question is what an i do so that my abs are bulging out when im not flexing. like yours?

[DanielBK13]

wat about if i do 45 minutes in the treadmill??

[Eriknl77]

ok, I've got 1 question: working out is helping a lot and I use your tips religiously, with results (even though I'm far from your shape, it makes me happy and proud to see results, feel better and keep on doing so) But, there's one area I just can't seem to reach: the back of my lovehandles ;-) I do exersizes for that part, but it seems to mostly work on the frontside, but not the backside (wings on my lower back. some help please? thanx, ciao

[halloween1985]

Thank you for providing a realistic approach to healthful living.

[ProtagonistNonTheist]

"fruit fly", see, he really is a homophobe!

[Sawltrini]

dude ur really good i think this is one of the best vids ever dude ur not condescending kool stuff

[sagobhago]

thanks scott for all the help and motivation.

[GWingMan20]

@Louis2092009 Definately after. Doing cardio immediately after weight training has been scientifically shown to burn more body fat. Also, when you do a hard cardio before you lift you tend to be tired during your workout, which keeps you from getting a good, hard workout in :-)

[fesuma]

body fat %?

[otis444100]

great advice

[projectgz]

Food flies lolol Randomnezz

[GamerzFun]

Holy sheeet you got Abs cleavage..

[5tev3n1]

hey muscle Do you run a lot?Because I heard running is good for ur abs Especially low abs but i do't run alot because i do't wanna lose my Weight....so tell me what i have to do for my low abs ? and thax for ur vidoes

[twistomaniac]

I have a question. About how many calories do you want to burn per day? I was thinking around 300.

[wdfsammy]

hey scott thanks a lot for all the videos and its been very helpful!

two years ago i was around 230 but Ive lost 60 pounds playing basketball...

but the problem is that im lefted with extra skin and i want to ask you how can i get rid of the extra skin around my stomach? please help me! lol thanks again scott!

[projectgz]

@wdfsammy Weightlifting and cardio is your answer. Especially weightlifting will help you build muscle mass and help you tighten those flabby skin. But are you sure you lost 60 pounds naturally? 'cuz if you did, I reckon your body would have adjusted to your new weight + frame. How long did it take you lose 60 pounds?? in reality it would have taken you 20-30 weeks to eliminate yo-yo effect.

[drockboston]

You give really good advice about working out. You clearly care about what you do and I like your videos. Not to mention you're really nice to look at. :-)

[Reezie78]

You know you meant to say something other than "Great Input" hahahaha! Everyone has abs even "fat" people! You didnt say anything about getting "visible" abs with crunches. The question didnt ask how to make the abs show...it ask if he HAD TO do cardio BEFORE doing ab work! "You dont have to have cardio done to activate a muscle." You also said, "Theres no way to spot reduce fat."

You were right Scott (as im sure you knew) so tell that turd. hahaha

[ScottHermanFitness]

hahaha :) Thanks!

[Alive4Metal]

@Reezie78 heck fat people have GREAT ABS, it takes a strong core to move around all that weight and keep it stabilized 

[Antoniodirtbike2]

Im 14 years old 14 percent body fat. What do i need to do to see my abs.

[schoolboy913]

heyy scott. i'm 18 years old... i'm curious as to what supplements i should and shouldn't be taking... creatine and nitrate oxide pills and like other pills and stuff.

[outsidelinebacker99]

scott im gonna have to disagree with what you said about doing crunches alone to get abs. there is no way a fat man can get visible abs without doing diet, cardio and crunches. only way to get abs for fat people is to do cardio before the crunches because it sheds the fat off your stomach and 80% of it is diet. if you do crunches alone without cardio or diet, it is doing nothing but making your stomach thicker instead the person will just have a big air bubble on their stomach with a 1 pack.

[Emarksthespot5]

OMG! you murderer you killed a fruit fly :p. Greatly appreciate your demonstrational workout clips and suggestions. Wishing you the best this 2010 and hope you get your goal list checked off.....I seen it in the background of a few of video clips :). Thanks again for your guidence in working out, adios.

[istigidig17]

can i ask you some question,a got a nice abs now but i still have a little bit baby fat on my tummy, do you have any advice? i really dont know what to do

[istigidig17]

nice video its really helpful you awesome!

[winterjon]

fruit flies..LMAO..btw, excellent video, even thou i've been training for 2 years, this video is an excellent reminder.

[shadyee235]

So am I actually burning lots of muscle mass with my cardio workouts ?

[shadyee235]

I have a question that I'd like to ask.

My goal is to get ripped but I don't have a high protein or low carb diet, but I do half an hour of Cardio everyday after my usual weight lifting workout because I enjoy and I know that there are many health benefits to it. So can I get ripped by doing cardio everyday or will I just keep on burning muscle mass and not get some size if I keep on doing as much cardio as I am doing right now ?

[cristofolon]

I actually read that cardio es best done after your workout. Because after your workout your glycogen levels are low so you'll be burning fat instead of muscle. But to do a little warmup before you workout to get your heart pumping, that way you get the best from both worlds.

Also one question: I have a friend that's doing cardio and he sees his heart rate is almost near maximum, i know cardio is best done at 60-70% HR but is it better or worse to go so high?

[hockeystar320]

love the hat

[hurrykaneecko]

your abs are realy good mate

[countrySTAR06]

I have a question for you...how do you get definition without getting too buff. Im a girl, and a college athlete and do a lot of strength training. But i have a tendancy to gain ALOT of muscle and get kinda self concious about how big my arms get when i lift too much haha

[abstractjem]

This video is great,but for some reason I find it a bit odd seeing you wearing a hat! Anyway thanks for the info babe!!! : )

[countrySTAR06]

do you EVER wear a shirt? im not complainin, im just sayin...

[ahawhatever19]

I started going to the gym last week and was wondering the same thing. It will take me much longer but eh I can't change sexes ha. Thank for clearing that up.

[mikeman182]

thanks scott, ill give that a shot. and sorry if that was like a dumb question, i just remember my buddy telling me something on the lines of crunches are ineffective unless you lose the fat around the stomach

thanks again!

[LeahxXx8]
