Symmetry..

[Flamer]

Wow - hard ab workout....remind us which show you're doing?

As far as DB press goes, hell I can do 17.5s and I don't make a racket, despite being far from a Hercules look-alike, so I think they like the sound of their own voice too much! Mind you, if they were side-raising the same DBs then perhaps it's justified, they're shoulder-killers!

Aiming for NABBA Nats - Oct 25th. And it seems to be close real fast! Ali G (makin my bikini) wants to do final fittin in about 2 weeks :shock: Um, OK, let's REALLY diet then!

Posing practice - happy with how things are looking at this point. As I get leaner my abs seem to be disappearing. Will up the protein and work them a little harder :twisted:

[biggurl27]

Yay to getting leaner! Your abs dissapearing when you get leaner, isn't it suppose to be the other way around?

That's what I thought!!??? :?

[teamfatboy]

You wuz robbed! :shock:

Or is it the fact that the body's fighting hard, with fluid, sodium, hydration, and all the other tricky things as the comp gets closer? I'm sure they'll turn up

[biggurl27]

Yep they will appear gracefully in next couple of weeks :nod:

Hmm, I'm hopin the same applies to my left shoulder. Still noticable differences betwwen left & right, despite my efforts. Still......6 and a bit weeks to go!

[2guns]

Yeah, lacks the definition the other has. Old injury, blah, blah.....

More work required to achieve symmetry.

Yeah, it does get quite sore. Like sittin at my desk and it hurts. It is usually what fails on a set too. Wouldn't say I compensate per say, but I am aware that I need to be careful. My forearm & tricep on that side are more defined though - more symmetry issues!

I spent a lot longer in rehab than you had to, and it was 16 odd years ago that I did it, so physio may not have been as efficient back then. It does sound like you made a better recovery with yours that I ever did.

Wednesday 10th Sept

AM

1 hr X trainer L6 (832cals)

Swiss Ball Crunches w. 15kg plate 12 x 3

Swiss Ball Leg Raise 10 x 3

So, I talked to one of the trainers at the gym. He seems to think my abs are disappearing because I'm holding water. Makes sense as I've upped my salt intake as I was cramping - so I'll go with that theory for now.
