Is Total Six Pack Abs only for bodybuilders?
That’s a question I get asked all to often by people interested in starting the program.
The answer is that Total Six Pack Abs is for everyone!
If you’re a pro bodybuilder, it’ll work for you. If you’ve never trained before in your life, it’ll work for you too!
I wanted to share this recent testimonial with you as an example of the program working for the average guy.
It comes from Joel Taylor, a 30 year old guy located in Geelong, Australia. To prove he’s a real guy, this is his Facebook profile.
Hi Mark,
just wanted to say thank you for such an awesome eating/workout program.
I am 182cm tall and have been training for the last 4 years or so, but last year i discovered your website and it transformed the way that i trained. I finally started achieving some results. at the start of the year i decided it was time to shed some body fat and cut up!!
I started TSPA on the 2nd January 2012 at 82kg and 14.6% body fat.
I achieved my goal of 8.4% body fat at 77.2 kgs by the 18th February 2012.
Along the way I found that my weight would often stay fairly stagnent to the week before but that my body fat % was decreasing. This was awesome to see and obviously the main aim! (building some lean mass while shedding fat)
My weekly results were as follows… I used accumeasure fat calipers to measure my bf%
2nd Jan
- 81.6kgs 14.6%bf
- LBM 69.69kgs FAT 11.91
7th Jan
- 80.3kgs 12.7%bf
- LBM 70.1 FAT 10.2
14th Jan
- 79.9kgs 12.7%bf
- LBM 69.75 FAT 10.15
21st Jan
- 79.2kgs 10.6%bf
- LBM 70.8 FAT 8.4
28th Jan
- 78.1kgs 10.6%bf
- LBM 69.82 FAT 8.28
11th Feb
- 77.8kgs 8.4%bf
- LBM 71.26 FAT 6.54
18th Feb
- 77.2kgs 8.4%bf
- LBM 70.72 FAT 6.48
My goal was 8-9% body fat.
You reckon those girls are checking out his abs or just wondering if he’s a weirdo? 😉
Also I think its worth noting that on two separate days I had plans with friends that I allowed myself to drink and eat pretty much whatever I liked. It most likely slowed me down a little but i was still very happy with the speed I achieved my results.
Thanks again Mark! Reading your books has helped me realise that there is nothing standing between me and achieving what I want!
Getting a six-pack isn’t for the chosen few. It’s for everyone! If you have the right attitude and want it bad enough, I have the plan to take you there. I sincerely believe it’s the BEST six-pack program on the market!
And as you can see from Joel and everyone else’s testimonials, it can take WEEKS, not months, and certainly not years! It actually saddens me that there are people out there who have been trying to get a six-pack for years! There’s just no need.
Find out how to do it – Commit 100% – Succeed! Simple.
Stay Motivated!

Awesome! I’m on week four of TSPA. I was a little afraid that something went wrong cos at the end of week 1 I had lost 0.968 kg of lean mass while bf remained at 12%.
at the end of week 3 though, I regained what I had lost and put on another 1.074kg of lean mass, and had a bf% of 9.3%. haven’t got calipers, I’ve just been using the calculator on your website. since I started with that I’ll stick to it, my goal is to be on TSPA for 8 weeks, and to hit at least 8% bf. lower is better! 😀
thanks a lot Mark!
Really good progress, but I have big doubt with his final BF, he is more around 11% than 8%.
here some example to find our BF:

Do you have any testimonials from actually amateur bodybuilders who have used this? as opposed to fitness enthusiasts. thanks
Great job Joel!!! Great body definition also. Thats what is great with MuscleHack, lose body fat AND Gain muscle mass!!
P.S. Mark, started using PAP last week. One Word……AWESOME!!!!.. Thanks For All You Do Mr. McManus!!!!
I’m getting TSPA this Thursday and I’m really excited! W/o the TSPA itself, your workouts and articles not only make sense but are effective! You’re really helping a lot of people and I’m sure to post some of my before and afters soon. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’m really thankful for you! Cheers.
Mark I have a bit of a problem. I recently sustained stress fractures in my L5 region of my lower back (most likely from pole vaulting, and it’s not good) and I literally can’t do any lifting or running for the next several weeks (maybe even a month or more). Prior to this I was following your diet and exercise program from TSPA but now that I can’t do any of that (exercising) I am completely lost on what my macros should be and what I should do during this time cuz now I’m so not motivated and just know the diet will fail soon because of this lack of motivation. My biggest problem is I don’t know my macros. I love the book and can tell that it will change my life without a doubt as it was working for the two weeks I have been doing it but this is a huge problem I’m dealing with. Any help would be beyond appreciated. Thanks!
@josselin. I would agree actually. However, the important thing is that since he was consistently using the same method to measure his body fat, his progress is very real, even if the absolute figures don’t turn out to be 100% accurate.
@Mike Huber. Great news on the PAP! I’ve been getting so much positive feedback about that. Thanks a lot 🙂
@Air. Thanks!
@Taylor. Since you’re sedentary now, I would advise you to stick to a low carb diet. You’ll also need less calories now so what I would do basically listen to my hunger levels. Your body will need less food now, so it’s not going to prompt you for food as often. Also, keep taking creatine during your lay off because there’s good evidence that it helps maintain your muscle mass if you can’t train.
@Mark McManus, I understand, this is the most important thing, see the improvent using the same method, this is good result, his waistline have really improve.
Alright thanks mark. I have two more questions (sorry). Is gum allowed on TSPA? You didn’t put that down and my gum has like 2 carbs. Also how can I be sure that the 1.5 or more pounds of weight loss is pure fat and not muscle? Thanks so much for everything Mark!
Ugh sorry one more haha, do I set it to the desk job one to calc the macros? That puts me at around 1300 cals a day, isn’t that close to going into starvation mode? And should I go as low as allowable on the carbs so my fat is greater or does it not matter that much? I’m really sorry about all these questions.
@Taylor.
1) Yes. Sugar free gum is made with sugar alcohols so just don’t consume a whole lot of it (no even a full packet in a day)
2) You need to take a body fat reading every week
3) No. Set it to the recommended setting.
