Comments on: What’s The Difference Between MANS and Total Six Pack Abs? https://musclehack.com/whats-the-difference-between-mans-and-total-six-pack-abs/ free workouts to build muscle & lose fat fast Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:57:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Cameron https://musclehack.com/whats-the-difference-between-mans-and-total-six-pack-abs/#comment-66396 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:57:48 +0000 https://musclehack.com/?p=1455#comment-66396 Hey Mark
I’m thinking of taking up the MANS diet as it makes perfect sense that your body repairs itself ‘Naturally’ with hormones etc and without food. I just came out of an ‘attempted’ cutting phase. Got down to 13% body fat and shot up a cm (180cm) with a bit of muscle lost as well which really gave me the shits. So now I’m starting to bulk up again.
My main question is, to make this MANS diet so effective, must you still go over a little of your TDEE? My TDEE when I workout is 2623 and on off days its 2448. I workout 5 times a week now each body part a week. Would an ideal ratio of nutrients to take on low carb day be 40:60? 40 being protein, 60 being fat or other way round? I’m 16 years old by the way. I really want to chuck some muscle back on and in my mind, I see this anabolic way of doing it is genius. Since steroids are a ‘lipid’ and a lipid is a fat then it makes sense. Just need some guidance,
Cheers mate

I’ve just started your program and working through it for my body. I havent bought TSPA yet, but was wondering about Cardio. I have dropped from 34% body fat to 22% and bulked up a bit. You recommend TSPA for men under 16%. My goal is to get to 10% but Ive Stalled and cant seem to budge any more fat. What is yuor recommendation for men with over 20% body fat? How do I get it to move again?

Ideally, go on my new GLAD diet – I’ll have the article typed up here before you get done on TSPA. It’s a high carb diet but low glycemic load so less worries about fat gain. Work out your sufficient calorie level (more on this later) and don’t eat above it.
Yes, you can get your abs and keep them 🙂

Now he wants to cut for the summer, so this special price comes at the perfect time. Thanks for putting all this info out on the web, and keep up the great work!

Nice tip on the cough syrup, I hadn’t thought of that.
Al the best for your ’09 cut!

I’m ready to go through a cutting cycle, and so bought this a second time – thats how well I think it works.

One note Mark. I noticed a “Warning” including cough syrups containing a lot of sugar. My solution – look for Diabetic cough syrup. There are almost zero carbs there. They don’t taste QUITE as good, but are pretty close.

I’m very excited to start seeing some results!

He has shared with us his trials and errors and i too have purchased his program and it is all that. He has taken the guessing game out of the equation all you have to add is discipline and patience. Good luck and thanks, Mark for a quality product.

I’m currently trying too add more muscle and I’ve started using Hardgainer Project X from Jeff Anderson to do so. When I feel it’s time to cut I’ll definatley be using TSPA.
5 stars all the way.
