At the beginning of May, summer is seriously around the corner, the aperitif and wedding season is arriving, but unfortunately, it is already too late for your summer body…unless…
If you are like Troy Adashun, a muscular YouTuber with 700,000 subscribers, you are a man of challenge!
This is not his first attempt, he had previously experienced doing 1000 sit-ups per day for 7 days…
At the time, he focused on bodyweight exercises, but today, he’s back with a “weighted” version of this challenge.
The context
Like many of us, Troy seriously neglected his ab training for over a year.
In the video, he mentions the figure of 60% of bodybuilding practitioners who avoid abs exercises, is this your case?
He comes to the bitter realization, despite a strict diet, that his abs remain poorly developed and pixelated… they clearly lack definition!
He then wishes to bring his point of view via this challenge to the eternal debate of gym goers: are abs sculpted in the gym or in the kitchen?
Our protagonist, inspired by the iconic figure of fire Greg Plitta model in the fitness industry, undertook this challenge not only to improve her physical appearance, but also to pay homage to his idol.
Description of his abs routine for the challenge
The challenge is launched, following a “punch test” inflicted by his girlfriend at 00:43 of the video, Troy launches into one to three circuits of several weighted abdominal exercises per day.
Despite the pain and fatigue, he does not allow himself a single day of rest.
Its exercises include:
- du spell casters,
- du weighted cocoons,
- du kettlebell single arm crunch,
- weighted crunches, with a plate or pulley, on a flat or decline bench,
- Russian rotations,
- Swiss ball rollouts (not really a weighted exercise),
- hanging knee raises with a weighted ball between the knees.

On the food side…
Your abs are the representation of the choices you make every day, in addition to being one of the most important muscle groups in your body
Nothing new under the sun, he adopts what he calls the “superhuman diet”, high in protein and low in carbohydrateswith foods like salmon, grass-fed steaks, and organic eggs.
He also follows a carb cycling diet designed by the Dr Mike Israetelallowing him to consume up to 450 g of carbohydrates on certain days to support his energy metabolism.
Results time
As the days pass, he begins to see impressive results emerge.
Halfway through the challenge, his abs are showing even though he says he is around 15% body fat. The pain, however, is very real too!
Her perseverance allows her to sculpt her abs and reduce her body fat percentage, all while maintaining a strict diet and managing daily challenges such as travel and social occasions.
After 30 days, he noticed not only a notable improvement in the definition of his abdominals but also a general strengthening of one’s strength and body stability.
What we think
There’s no point in running, you have to start in time, the fable said…
Ideally, you should work your 6-pack all year round, focusing on the rectus abdominis, but also the less superficial muscles.
However, if you need to make a good impression in 30 days, this challenge gives some hope, but you should keep in mind that Troy is not just anyonehe is an experienced bodybuilder who starts with a certain physique and a certain flair.
Moreover, he has not only trained his abs tirelessly, he has also made efforts in his diet, although he speaks very little regarding it.
However, incorporating loaded ab exercises is essential for anyone who wants to make their abs appear at a higher body fat percentage and this is a certainty!
Up to you.
