From my experience my biceps have grown F??KING HUGE.

By far the biggest improvement so far for me, and my chest is starting to get kind of defined.

How do you do sit-ups yarr? We use a machine with weight, then between each set do 50 crunches, then increase the weight each set on the machine. I can see my abs getting tighter... but not really "bigger" like I'm not seeing any 6-pack lol.



The way I like best is on one of those big blow up beach ball things. The reason is that you have to "ballance" yourself alot during the last few reps since your muscles are ready to give out. Ive almsot fallen right off, its kinda funny haha. Having to ballance yourself works more muscle groups too, helps give a more even work out.

I do 35 normal "up-down" motion crunches and the last 15 are the kind where you twist from side to side, working the obilques and your back alot more than the normal "up-down" motions.
Also the ball allows for your back to lower down (arching out) more giving alot more movement. I find whe mn I do normal crunches on the floor (feet up or down) that my back tends hurt so much that I have to stop before I can really give my abs a good workout.

oh and laying on the floor and raising your legs up and down is killer too after 150 crunches haha, if your not carfull your head will explode haha.

The ab machines are ok but like all machines they really only target a specific muscle and if your not carful you could find your muscles growing out or proportion.

My back is actually awesome haha. I cant see it well enough but i think it looks good. Atleast it doesnt hurt after a while. I also sit at work and home with better posture.

My mother actually comented on how much better my posture was the other day.

thats great, it was possible the way you were sitting was messing up your back in the first place. Yay for no more back pains either. My back is killing me at work today haha ><

The way i work out my lower abs is in the chin ups position (sort-of).
Bring your legs up while in the air. exacly like this:

But you have to have those black things around your arms, or you get way too tired. Their called Ab-Origionals.
Thats how i do my abs generally. I dont see good results doing sit-ups.


ok so they have this type of thing at the gym. Basically I support my upper body while my legs dangle be low and then lift my knees up as high as I can. I did 30 reps first set, 40 and then 50.

Swear to god I thought I was going to die when I finished. That really works the full abs and also requires alot of ballance as well as upper body work too.

Looks like ill be spending an extra 15 min at the gym now haha.

rock hard abs are not good.

IMO the cutest girls at the gym are the ones who are in shape but look soft. Like they are tone, but look smooth and soft.
