For the next few months, I’m going to see if I can use the best science-backed strategies for training and dieting to help Cam ditch the dad bod and get six pack abs for the first time in his life. So, if you want to learn how to get a six pack, this video teaches you everything you need to know from the best six pack workout to the best six pack diet. Click below to try the BWS app for free for 2 weeks, no strings attached: Click below to subscribe for more videos: On Day 1, Cam started out at 160 pounds and, according to a DEXA scan, 25% body fat. But to get visible six pack abs, he’ll need to get down to at least 15% body fat. Here’s the plan: instead of relying on exercise alone to achieve 6 pack abs, our priority is dialing in his diet. The first step was getting Cam to track everything he ate using our BuiltWithScience app. On average, he was eating about 2, 600 calories a day. To shed around 1 pound of fat per week, we needed to bring that down to about 2, 100 calories. But rather than completely overhauling his diet, I wanted to focus on strategic food swaps. While Cam aims to get a six pack, focusing on ab exercises alone won’t cut it. When you’re in a calorie deficit, your body looks for energy, and without proper training, it can burn muscle along with fat. The result A skinny look instead of a lean, muscular physique. To prevent that, we’re implementing a well-structured training program that targets all his major muscle groups. By broadening his back and shoulders, we’ll create that V-taper look to complement his 6 pack abs and achieve a truly aesthetic transformation. And as for Cam’s progress with his six pack diet With Cam now logging every calorie he was eating on the BWS app, he was staying right on track to achieving his 6 pack abs with a daily target of 2100 Calories, and his weight on the scale was quickly moving in the right direction. While this is a great start, getting down to 15% body fat means Cam will need to drop all the way down to 139 pounds. What about cardio Think of it like the cherry on top. The weight tells your body to keep your muscles, the diet does most of the hard work of losing the fat, and the cardio can just help speed up the process. And rather than forcing Cam to do grueling cardio sessions he’d never stick to long term, I wanted to find something he actually enjoyed. Basketball. But if Cam wanted to rely on cardio alone to lose the same amount of fat he’s been losing through his diet, he’d need to play nearly an hour of basketball daily. So, when it comes to fat loss, a combination of both is key. And in Cam’s case, it was just enough to speed up his progress toward achieving 6 pack abs without affecting his strength in the gym. In 90 days, Cam lost 11 pounds and shaved 3 centimeters off his waistline. But he’s not quite at full 6 pack abs yet. He’s sitting somewhere around 18-20% body fat. And that’s perfectly fine. Getting lean and staying lean is a marathon, not a sprint. And because we’ve been taking a sustainable approach, Cam was eager to keep pushing to see just how lean he could get. It’s time to take things up a notch with my favorite science-based six pack workout to make his abs really pop. As Cam’s journey to achieving six pack abs continued beyond 90 days, he kept getting leaner. But this is where most people hit a wall. They drop to under 20% body fat and then progress stalls. Why Your metabolism adapts as you lose weight. Just 10% of your body weight can cause your body to burn up to 200-400 fewer calories per day. So when Cam first started, he needed to eat around 2, 100 calories daily to lose a pound of fat each week. But now, after losing 15 pounds, we’ve adjusted his target to 1, 900 calories to keep the fat loss going. However, as Cam’s weight started dropping into the 140s, he noticed some side effects. He was more tired and had to go lighter (instead of heavier) in the gym. Here’s why. As you lose fat, your body produces less leptin. In response, your body cranks up hunger signals and tries to conserve energy by decreasing your desire to move. Which can also start to affect your strength in the gym. The point at which this starts to happen varies for everyone. But for most men, it begins at around 15% body fat, and for women, it is around 25%. As you get leaner, these effects intensify. That’s why getting shredded is not only incredibly difficult to maintain but can also become unhealthy. So after 150 days of Cam’s fat loss journey, we decided to stop his diet. The extra push to get full 6 pack abs just wouldn’t be worth it. The result He went from 160 pounds to 143 pounds, and from 25. 2% body fat to a lean 14. 6% body fat. It took time and patience, but that's the key to real transformation. Click below to use the same program Cam did to achieve his incredible transformation:

Near the end of the video he just needed to adapt to the new weight. In my journey, i came up against this wall frequently so far. Losing 75lbs since august of 2024. Its currently jan of 2025. Your body is going to fight you in the short term while you adapt. What you can do to help yourself out is multivitamins. Specifically vitamin b12. I take a multivitamin as well as a b12 vitamin. Helps for when your low on energy.
He has a lot of room to work with in lowering his calories. He just needs to clean up a bit more of his diet. And he will adapt. Look i weigh more than him but i only eat 1200cal a day. And yes i eat foods that i like. And yes i eat plenty. Hence why i have been able to maintain this diet for 5months. So he has a lot of room in to fix in his diet and he will be fine. And For the most part I sleep around 7hrs a night. Every once in a while i will sleep 10hours. Its normal. You are beating yourself up at the gym. Ans im 38yr old. Im not a kid or a 20yr old who can recover quickly.
And yeah every once in a while you will eat shit in the gym AKA having a bad day at the gym where everything feels off. Its ok. Its gonna happen. You still work through it while your body adapts. He slept 10hrs cause he was fatigued. Not due to his diet but due to the working out. What he needed was probably a break. And by break i don't mean no longer working out for a week but reduced sets with the current reps and weights. This way he is still working out but also allowing his body to get rest in. Its not hitting that same level of fatigue. That sleep was a good thing. You want sleep. He was resting. Which means his body was healing. Which means he was getting stronger. Your body heals and rejuvenates when you are asleep.

Get an Ab Mat for $10-$15. It makes Ab movements much harder yet more stable. They take up little space. I use it on Weighted Sit-Ups laying perpendicular on a bench with my feet under a rack/couch. The stretch on the Abs is insane. I also use it on Lying Leg Raises/Dragon Flies laying on a bench. I position my self so my legs drop below the bench. Again the ab stretch is like nothing else when done correctly.
Edit: I've been working my abs fairly consistent for over a year to try to make them show at higher body fat % (17-22. Sadly I was under eating for probably a year (long story. Now I am eating enough the last 6 weeks and I seem to be making gains again and even bulking into abs. I am hitting them 2-3 times a week very consistently now and only recently got the Ab Mat. I'll be honest I do not care about abs if I have to weigh 150 pounds at 6 foot to have them. My goal is 175-185 with abs at this point.
Also I appreciate the more consistent uploads. Keep doing more transformation videos. They never get old because everybody is unique in some way. I want abs I want biggger shoulders I just want gains. Some 60-90 days are great but 180 day follows would be cool sometimes too.

Here’s my frustration: I’m 5’ 10 and 174lbs. I managed to drop from 180 to 160 two years ago, but after injuries and slacking due to stress, I slowly moved back up to 174 today. I know nutrition is the biggest thing with which I struggle; weight lifting is the second. I actually LOVE intense cardio workouts!
All the sources I found, said that I should eat 2100 calories/day. But for as long as I did that, I never lost weight. I slowly dropped it, dropped it, and kept dropping it until it was 1, 650 calories day. I FINALLY started losing weight. It’s dang hard to maintain just 1, 650 calories/day intake long term!
I don’t care about 6-pack abs; I just want to get rid of most of the belly fat.

This is really true. I also did an abs workout just following some free apps I downloaded having a 90 days ABS program. I just followed it everyday without even some expectation but after just 30 days I was really surprised my stomach fat is noticeably flattened. I'm just happy for the result so I keep going and when I reach almost 60 days I can see the abs line marks. Damn I'm happy because it works somehow and so far the exercises are all manageable. I don't know for the 3rd month if I'll achieve the six pack abs but I will definitely finish the program. I don't even go to the gym I'm just doing a home workout.

Thats where bulking and cutting comes in. He's having a hard time maintaining the diet because it's causing exhaustion and fatigue. Maintaining a higher bodyweight with adding much more muscle mass would leave him looking leaner and fuller while at a higher caloric intake. You don't necessarily need to bulk and cut either but it could give variety in calories. Perhaps also in this challenge, refeed days, and or a diet break would have worked well for him.

The size of your Stomach has a factor in how hunger you get.
The smaller your stomach, the less hungry you are, but the more you eat, the more hungry you get, as the volume start to stretch out your stomach making you feel less full.
Spreading out your meals will help you avoid enlarging your stomach to make you less hungry, and consume less calories. This will shrink your stomach. Stay healthy.

I don’t find this transformation sustainable. Going down to below 15% body fat is hard but achievable but staying there for long is not realistic. Also, staying shredded for long stopped me from gaining lean mass. I yielded better results from bulking for good few months to gain muscle while accepting slightly higher body fat % followed by cutting before summer holiday for a beach body.

While it definitely did work and the guy got a lot better. The before and after images 14: 50 are not really in the same conditions. As you can see they have either changed the lense or zoomed in without making the subject look different from the before images on left side. Which might add more details to the subject for more emphasis. Having said that, I loved everything else!

After a car accident and surgery, I got depressed and gained weight. And my boyfriend was always there for me. He never said anything negative, but he's too hot for me to be unhealthy, unattractive and unhappy. I wanna look good for him. He currently is bulking and I want to try body recomp. We'll see
Also strong relationships can handle honesty

Can you please make a video on optimizing the process of recovery after a major injury in terms of diet, exercise, etc I have torn ligaments in my hand along with medial epicondylitis and am unable to pretty much do anything with weights even if theyre light until im approved for surgery. Would like some insight from a professional.

Meal scanner works wuite good - recognized home-made chicken soup with almost all ingredients to the gram! Now just allow for the changes between equipment (home/gym) in your BWS app, and we're golden. As of now, it doesn't allow to change this workout to workout, so that i could train at home 3x/week and once/week in a gym.
reply

So interesting talk he had there; the two sets of negatives sounds interesting. After a long pause, my pull ups are way down (I used to be able to do 8, now I do 5. The BWS app doesn’t appear to have a way to record adding negatives on pull day; is there a good way to do that besides just putting it in notes
reply

If you stopped the diet after 150 days, then did you increase calories to a certain level to help him maintain the fat loss Seems like that's the crucial point when people will start to gain it back. I'm curious how the app adjusts or if you can give it the feedback that your energy has taken a dip.
reply

Great video, it would be great to see a follow up video of the next 90-150 days post transformation as this is where most people don’t maintain and rebound.
Think it would be cool to see the strategies you give your every day person to maintain.

reply

This is how to react to a shame, take it and make some change, those political correct nonsense is a weak defence. A heathly, athletic and attractive body is for your own good, don't try to press the society to change so you don't have to change.
reply

Very awesome transformation! Hope he can maintain it or even go lower like 11% BF but then again everyone is different and he may feel like crap at that BF level. Am currently at 8% BF and this video motivated me to lean down to 6% BF.
reply

Hi, I'm a newbie and I have a question about the app, in the workout, I will need to fill in the weight of the excercise for each set, if I'm doing dumbbell romanian deadlift and use a pair of 12. 5kg, should I fill in 12. 5 or 25
reply

After losing so much weight with help from your videos, I always wished that I could do a bootcamp with a trainer like yourself for my last leg of the race. Almost like a docuseries if you’d be interested in that type of content

Do I see it right, but this guy has a big back side of shoulder muscle Everybody has the back side shoulder - smaller. But he, seems to have genetically big bacak shoulder muscle
It almost sticks above other parts of the shoulders
