    Crunches Don’t Build the Best Abs—This Does Do you really need endless crunches to build strong, visible abs? Professional stuntman, stunt coordinator and parkour athlete Kyle Shapiro joins Robert Vicencio on 6PACKB450 to reveal how parkour, hanging knee raises, tuck jumps and explosive full-body movement helped him develop a powerful six-pack—without relying on traditional crunches or planks. Kyle explains how he went from approximately 58 kg to nearly 70 kg, gaining around 8 kg of mostly muscle for a film role while maintaining his athletic ability.

    From Depression to Bodybuilding: Michelle Li's Fitness Transformation | 6PACKB450 | Ep 8

    From Depression to Bodybuilding: Michelle Li’s Fitness Transformation From depression and physical breakdown to bodybuilding, strength and purpose—Michelle Li’s fitness journey began when her body finally told her: enough. In this episode of Six Pack Before 50, host Robert Vicencio speaks with fitness trainer and former bodybuilding competitor Michelle Li about the health crisis that forced her to reconsider her life. After experiencing depression, insomnia, digestive problems and other health issues while working in a high-stress environment, Michelle underwent surgery and began questioning whether she was living the life she truly wanted. Meeting a personal trainer and simply starting to move her body became the beginning of a complete transformation. Michelle shares how she pushed beyond her introverted personality, entered a bodybuilding competition and developed the discipline required to transform both her body and mindset. She also explains why maintaining perfect abs is not the same as being healthy—and why she now prioritises strength, balance, sleep, emotional wellbeing and functional movement. In this conversation: • How fitness helped Michelle rebuild after depression and physical breakdown • Why she entered a bodybuilding competition despite being naturally shy • The diet and training approach she used during competition preparation • How she maintains approximately 18% body fat without constant restriction • Why small lifestyle changes work better than extreme transformations • Her Four A’s for overcoming setbacks: Allow, Accept, Appreciate and Acknowledge • Why women should focus on becoming stronger—not simply becoming smaller • How functional training can restore confidence and independence • Why sleep and stress must be addressed before intense exercise • How to enjoy pizza, pasta and other favourite foods without guilt • Why protecting your peace can ultimately protect your future Michelle’s central message is simple: Get healthy first. The transformation will follow. What is one small change you can commit to for the next 30 days? Share it in the comments.

    Crunches Dont Work | 6PACKB450 Podcast | Lloyd Attwell | Episode 5

    CRUNCHES DON’T WORK — at least, not the way most people think. In this episode of 6PACKB450, I sit down with Lloyd Atwell to discuss what it really takes to build and maintain visible abs. Lloyd shares his experience growing up around gym culture in South Africa, experimenting with dirty bulking, managing his diet in Shanghai, intermittent fasting, calisthenics, weight training, carbohydrates, cheat meals, and the discipline required to stay lean. We discuss: • Why abs are made in the kitchen • The 80% diet rule • Why crunches alone will not reveal your six pack • Dirty bulking versus staying lean • Intermittent fasting and cutting carbohydrates • The importance of training your entire body • How to recover after breaking your diet • Why discipline beats the perfect fitness strategy • The power of simply starting today Lloyd’s most important lesson: “Stumbling is not falling.” One bad meal, missed workout, or night out does not mean your fitness journey is over. Get back to your routine the following day and keep moving forward. I’m documenting my own mission to achieve a six pack before turning 50. Subscribe and follow the journey as I test different workouts, diets, supplements, strategies, and advice from people who have already achieved what I’m working toward. Do you think abs are built more through diet or exercise?
