Damn I wish I lived during the ancient times where men had to toil and do very physical activities but at the same time achieved great bodies! Unlike of course, in modern times where men tend to do intellectual things and sit on their butt lazily at a very cold office and watch their weight increase exponentially if they don’t go to the gym.

My friend and I were talking about how to get those 6-pack abs that every guy wished for. According to an article I’ve read, you need to drop your body fat down to around 8% to get it. Now that’s hard!

    actually, it is considered healthy to have 15% and below. fit for 10% and below. once you are fit, all the cuts are going to show. it is estimated that nba players have 5% or less body fat, just for comparison purposes.

    great blog! more power!

    does l-carnitine really work? ok na kasi arms, shoulders and chest ko. tummy na lang talaga problema.

    I’m not exactly sure about L-Carnitine. I have an article here about Fit N’ Right:

    http://www.pinoyguyguide.com/2007/12/del-monte-fit-n-right-is-it-right.html

    It tells something about L-Carnitine.
