spot reduction - by michael gundhill

[raybravo]

With very frequent workouts, on the order of at least three daily ab workouts for men, over time the body will adapt by reducing esterification—that is, the likelihood that new fatty acids produced through the basal renewal will enter fat cells.Micheal gundill even quotes some specialists who claim “The triglycerides in fat cells are renewed about once every two to three weeks."
rationale is that by increasing blood flow to a troublesome body part which, in this case, is the abs for most men, we limit the amount of fatty acids that can reenter the cell during the basal renewal process:
"The greater blood flow doesn't drop your body fat percentage, but the amount of blood flow controls the location of the fat deposits. How is that possible? It determines where new fatty acids will be located."

any thoughts on this ? very interesting .

I believe there's something to this.

I'm really bad about doing abs when I'm not dieting down. Of course, I don't have much ab definition in the off season.

My abs were the the best when I overworked them for my first contest - two 1/2-hour session ED. This was back when they gave "best bodyparts" awards at contests. I was getting all kinds of compliments about my abs from other competitors. The only "ab comparison" they did the entire contest was between the guy that won best abs and me!

Feel free to post in english.

As to the question, you need to add the neural innervation of the adipose tissue. It means that your nervous system can send lipolytic hormones directly to the fat cells if properly asked. I would not be surprised that training abs (for example) could increased the level of those lipolytic hormones in the surrounding fat cells

what would be the approximate frequency and volume with which one would need to train the abs for this to happen bro ?

 

[Gundill]

I guess, this would depend on your diet. The more you would eat, the more volume you would need.
Ideally, I guess working abs both in the morning and in the evening would be best. One or 2 sets, squeezing them hard for high reps (at least 20) should be enough.

Thanks for the response Michael.

It's very frustrating for this dumb American to participate at your web site when French is "really foreign" to me
