I was lucky enough to have an incredible metabolism growing up, so I could pig out at every sitting and never gain a single pound while retaining my six pack. Even when I was gorging myself with protein, creatin and testosterone during my high school years, I still managed to add muscle and mass without losing the old’ washboard.
With that said, it’s damn near impossible to get a six pack if you’re Mexican. It’s one thing to maintain it if you’re just naturally skinny, but once you settle down and stop being active every day, you’ve got about as much chance as a white girl trapped in a random hotel room with Kobe Bryant to get it back.
You see, the Mexican culture – more so than maybe every other culture besides Italians – is centered around food. There isn’t a single social gathering in which some illegally delicious dish isn’t readily available. Be it weddings and quinceaneras or just a simple gathering on any given Sunday during the NFL season, some form of beans and tortillas are surely lurking around the corner.
This is not entirely a bad thing, since we do get to splurge on beantastically awesome food… but it’s a slippery slope. For starters, there are very few Mexican women who make it past their mid-twenties in any decent shape, and Satan help you if you’re a man trying to put up with their shit while staying in shape yourself. Sure they make good food, but their drama and bullshit is hardly ever worth killing yourself in the gym for.
And even when you do find some alternative motivation to get your six pack back, you’re forced to do so while constantly resisting the temptation of all the delicious meals by your woman, your mom and all 37 of your aunts, grandmas and friends of the family. Unless you cut yourself off completely from your family (impossible even for the whitest of beaners), you’re pretty much fucked.
By the way, this is all assuming you’ve managed to somehow give up on Corona, Dos Equis, Pacifico and all the other rapidly mind-numbing liquor produced in the motherland.
I tell ya’… reclaiming a six pack as a Beaner is one of the most exhausting activities a human can possibly engage in… outside of soccer.
