How to Develop Washboard Ab muscles

Ironic and far-fetched as it may sound, washboard abs remain on lots of people's agenda in the quest for the best fitness level. There is something funny in this way of referring to the six pack, because it only points out to how eager people are to imitate the nice look of celebrities or the perfect bodies of professional athletes without even thinking what it takes to shape the body in such a way. Normally there are two paths to getting washboard abs by sticking to a training program combined with good nutrition, plenty of rest and a balanced lifestyle, or by administrating steroids in combination with physical effort.

You cannot predict the results even if you follow a complex healthy program. Some people just end up with a flat toned abdomen while others get the washboard abs on magazines' covers. Time plays a major part for training and the ab shaping also depends on genetic factors. In this context, the use of steroids to grow washboard abs is a shortcut many people choose to take. Nevertheless, such artificial or pseudo-fitness does not improve resistance or strength levels. Plus, there are numerous health hazards that accompany the use of anabolic substances.

It is interesting to understand or study the psychological motivation that triggers the fight for developing washboard abs. The six pack is often associated with manhood, but the toning of the abs as such is common to both men and women alike. Well, poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, disappointment in social interactions or lack of success with the opposite sex, represent the most common reasons why people strive to achieve washboard abs. Many of us seem to believe that muscles bring recognition of personal merits, respect and consideration. But the flaws of such reasoning cannot pass undetected.

It is a lot more rewarding to have a positive motivation when striving for the washboard abs at the gym. A good but realistic self-perception makes wonders in terms of success rate for any activity that you commit to, including physical training. When you train with a light heart and in a good mood, the response of the body improves under the impact of the brain stimulation. Do not take such suggestions for psychological crap, because these ideas sum up a whole range of studies dedicated to training both mind and body to work together harmoniously. See for yourself by testing it!
