  • Were you always this cut or did you diet and get those abs?

  • @Kryptsanies I got the abs from a combination of pretty strict eating and regular exercise. The eating consists of 5 or 6 small to medim-sized meals per day. The exercise was a combination of resistance training and cardio work. Getting the abs was a challenge. Keeping them hasn't been that difficult....but I think everybody's experience is unique (i.e. it may be easy for some and difficult for others).

  • @datpace I know exactly what you mean. I have only once cut down to see all of my abs and during that time of dieting I lost significant amount of muscle. I'm thinking of maybe starting carb cycling this time around. What are your thoughts on ketogenic and carb cycling diets?

  • @Kryptsanies If carbs are cut out of the diet (e.g. in a Ketogenic diet), the body will likely convert some muscle to glucose through gluconeogenesis. This process was what was behind your muscle loss. So, I'm not a huge fan of ketogenic diets. Most people can get as lean as they want by reducing their calories a bit, eating a clean and balanced diet (proteins, essential fats, AND carbs), and exercising. However, if you want to get super cut, carb cycling is the way to go, dude.

  • thanks i just bought it and was having trouble telling when to stop pressing lol thanks

  • Thank god I found this. I wasnt using the slider the whole time and now that I am I just put on 10 lbs of lean mass.

  • Thank you much better than expert village

  • Very informative, but I second the call for someone to make a video of this device in action on someone with some body fat to measure. It's sorta hard to find the hip bone if you've got some fat in the way!

  • thanks for cleaning that up. turns out i'm not as fat as i thought i was.

  • dumb question coming your way. For this specific tool, can it only be done in that suprailliac area? You would not use this tool on say...your thighs or arms?

  • Really nice video. Thanks for posting and helping the clueless people like myself.

  • Excellent vid. Really informative..... However, Just wondering if you could find a fat friend.... someone with some fat to measure. All these vid's have athletic people with bugger all fat. Me I'm a fatty (25%).... hopefully not for long... finding the right spot to measure is a tad more difficult... you may remember things like the love handles etc that get in the way?. That would be helpful to us with the excess..Thanks again for the video

  • Thanks for the video!

  • great video thanks for teaching me how to use this thingy!!! lol
