Flat Abdominal Exercises Interview Series with Vince DelMonte -- author of No Nonsense 6 Pack Abs & No Nonsense Muscle Building

Now that Vince DelMonte has showed skinny folks how to gain muscles with his popular eBook, No Nonsense Muscle Building... Vince came out with a NEW program called, No Nonsense 6 Pack Abs. Let's find out what we need to do to do to shave off pounds of fat and get a set of carved out, granite, six pack abs...

Matt Taylor: Vince, there is a HUGE debate which way of training is best to lose the most fat, interval training or steady cardio. Which method do you prefer and why?

Vince DelMonte: They both work so do whichever one YOU prefer. What works for me might fail miserably for you.

Recently I competed at the World Fitness Model Champs and I met guys who did 90 minutes of long slow cardio a day in the morning and others who do 30-45 minutes of hard running each night. Completely opposite programs but they both work.

Vince DelMonte... the author of No Nonsense Six Pack Abs

I personally use a mixture of both. I like longer and steady cardio after my weights and harder cardio on it's own first thing in the AM or before bed.

Pick a plan and see what you discover about your body.

MT: Now here is a question for my skinny readers... what do you recommend we do first... focus on cutting down fat or gaining muscles?

VD: Whichever one will make you look better. You will always look harder and more defined around 10% fat but if you are ultra skinny than focus on bulking first. Just don't let your body go higher than 13-15% fat.

Once your body fast creeps over 15% fat I suggest cutting back down to 10% ish.

Whichever you choose, make the decision and stick to it. After 3 weeks of bulking, don't change your mind. Take each goal to completion before changing goals.

MT: In your opinion... what variable is most important if you want to lose belly fat and get sculpted abs... nutrition, full body workouts or abdominal exercises?

VD: Diet diet diet! 89-90% of the way you look is nutrition. I've used dozens of programs over the year and the only time my body changes is when I dial in on my nutrition and follow a pre-set meal plan with a specific number of calories and eat at specific times and follow it to the letter.

MT: What is your favorite body building and fat burning meal? Don't hold back... we want you to go into your bank vault and reveal your secrets!

VD: When I was cutting, I had three staples and they are VERY boring but they got the job done

Meal 1: 1 egg plus 10 egg whites + 3 cups of veggies + salsa sauce

Meal 2: chicken breast + salsa sauce + 3 cups of veggies + 1 slice of whole wheat bread

Meal 3: 1.5 cans of tuna + salsa sauce + 3 cups of veggies

When I am bulking I love making chocolate protein powder with oatmeal, strawberries and natural peanut butter. I could eat this all day!

MT: Can you give my readers a brief idea what it feels like to be in Vince DelMonte's shoes? What is it like getting ripped, 6 pack abs...?

VD: LOL I do my best to keep a level head and if I don't my brothers and family will bring me back down to earth. When I was younger and building the muscle, I fell into the trap of "falling in love with yourself" but now I have regained my passion for hard training and testing my body and the physique is a cool pay off.

I like maintaining my reputation as a "fitness guy" and being "the guy" in my circle of friends who people come to for advice and for being "that guy" who has figured out how to have a balanced life. 

I do way more than just lift weights and look good so when people see all the other things I do, the physique becomes more impressive.

MT: Thanks Vince!
