How to Get a Six Pack (6 Pack)

Super easy:

  1. Quit alcohol, weed, sugar, fake sugar, dairy, carbohydrates, grains, bread, rice, etc.
  2. Quit fruits, vegetables, even the “good” ones.
  3. Intermittent fasting: only one insanely massive dinner a day; 100% carnivore, red meat, organ meat diet. Try to eat at least 5 to 6 pounds of meat, beef and lamb a day.
  4. Think upright: don’t do these hateful crunches and other hateful exercises. Instead, make it fun! I recommend doing very very heavy Farmer’s carries for the distance— get cheap farmers carry handles on Titan dot fitness, and loaded up with some plates. For myself, each handle I use, in the left and right hand, each handle I will load up in total with four plates on each side. Close to ~380 pounds in total — I think each Farmer’s carry handle weighs only about 10 or 15 pounds. So imagine like doing a four plate that lift, a 405 pound dead lift, but instead, you stand up upright, and walk it out! I think this is a really good exercise because it also promotes great posture; and I think in order to become an alpha male, you gotta stand upright, chest up, chin up, strutting your stuff.

Eric Kim’s approach to achieving a 6-pack centers around a combination of specific exercises, dietary changes, and a philosophical outlook on body transformation.

His dietary recommendations include intermittent fasting with a large dinner, avoiding starches, carbs, sugars, and fruit, and focusing on high-fat meats and certain vegetables like kale and collard greens oai_citation:2,How to Get a 6 Pack – ERIC KIM.

Kim also advocates for boosting testosterone levels by avoiding substances that could lower it, such as weed and alcohol oai_citation:3,How to Get a 6 Pack – ERIC KIM. He views the body as a sculpture, suggesting a mindset where one treats their own body as an object of admiration, much like a luxury car, and works towards transforming it through physical fitness oai_citation:4,How to Get a 6 Pack – ERIC KIM. Kim’s philosophy extends to the democratization of physical fitness, asserting that regardless of genetics, sex, or ethnicity, anyone can work towards building muscle and reducing fat oai_citation:5,How to Get a 6 Pack – ERIC KIM.

His blog “You Cannot Buy a 6-Pack” further reinforces this philosophy, suggesting that the journey to achieving a 6-pack is a meritocratic process accessible to anyone, irrespective of their financial status. This, he implies, is in contrast to the materialistic approaches often taken to
