Overeating can spell disaster if you are trying to get into the best shape of your life. As most excess weight tends to settle in the abdominal area, to get a well-defined six pack, you need to have a very low amount of extra fat on your body. The good news is, there is an easy way to keep from filling up on junk throughout the day - drink plenty of water! There is an old adage that you need five glasses of water per day to survive, eight glasses to thrive and 10 to rehydrate. While this is a good general rule of thumb, a more scientific approach can give you even better results. Take your body weight in pounds and drink half of that number in ounces each day. Sound complicated? Well, it's not! For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, then be sure to drink 100 ounces of water each day. As you can see, you may be drinking more than 10 glasses per day, but you will see the difference in your six pack definition by doing so.
Of course, nutrition is key when it comes to getting a six pack, and eating certain foods and taking certain vitamins and minerals can really help you to achieve your goal much faster. Foods that are high in antioxidants such as fruits and vegetables can help when it comes to getting ripped. Also, focus on eating foods that are low in fat and, when it comes to carbs, focus on foods that are higher in complex carbs as opposed to simple carbs as these can really help you when getting ripped!

Diet:
You can have the perfect workout routine, but if you keep eating a high sugar, high carb, and high fat diet, you will not get the six-pack abs you want. You may get more "fit" or maybe a bit "stronger" but you won't lose the fat necessary to rip and show those abs - unless you have an exceptional metabolism, in which case you probably wouldn't be reading this. You would also be much less healthy, so either way, a good diet
workouts:
In today's article I'm going to show you the best and my favorite technique for working out your abs.
The renegade dumbbell rows is a great technique to complement a six pack abs workout. Start by getting into the pushup position with your hands on the two dumbbells instead. Now take one dumbbell and row it, while stabilizing your body with the other dumbbell. This effect will workout your entire midsection core, and boy will you feel it! Make sure to alternate each arm and stabilize your body with the alternate arm.
Now lets move on to the next workout, the front squats with barbell. A front squat is very similar to the back squat except that the barbell is in front of your body rather then in back. You want to set up the barbell so that its positioned on the front of your shoulders rather then the back of them. The way that you are going to stabilize your body is by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar while managing your elbows out in front of the body.
This will take a little practice and won't come naturally at first, but with some time and effort I guarantee it will. Ask for some help by a trainer at first to make sure that your form is correct. Front squats requires stabilization, and this stabilization strength comes from your abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front rather then focused on your back. This so called leg exercise is a great way to help form and shape your abdominal area. Just wait until the following day after your workout and you'll be sure to feel it.
Start your vigorous training session by including effective lower abdominal exercises. Your lower abdominal muscles should be working harder than any other muscle group. While you are doing abdominal workouts, you should feel the stretch and slight soreness in your muscles; this indicates your muscles have been properly worked out.
Hanging knee raises are one of the best exercises for working your abs. You do them while you are hanging which also strengthens your grip muscle. Do them by grabbing a hold of a pull up bar. Keep your body straight and then lift your knees up to touch your chest and back down again.
Finaly I guarantee if you follow those steps your abdominal muscles will be soar tomorrow
