Abs

[nate225]

Nate - with all the heavy lifting and the heavy ab exersizes do you think this is thickend up your waist? i.e would your waist be as small as it was back in 2000 or similar now but better? or worse?

LOL - my waist on stage was 31" or less at 88kg, it's now around 40" at 105kg!! :grin: That said if I dieted I reckon it would still be within an inch or two.

Aging plays a part here as my BF distribution has changed a lot in 10 years - seem to store more on waist, particularly on sides (even at a lower BF%), than when younger when I had more on my back/arms etc.

Cool, Darren seamed to think that his waist had got thicker from all the strongman stuff, Not so good for bbing

Depends how big you get, pretty sure one of the Pro's in the late 90's said "the days of the 30" waist are over"! :grin:

Hello people,

So with all you ab junkies out there can someone help me?

Can someone please recomend me a ab routine/program?

I have tried all ab exercises that trainers/mates/books have given me and yes i have tried them and they are far too easy for me now. I need a new vareity of exercises to spice things up and feel some burn again. I do not even rest between ab exercises anymore. Any help much appreciated.

hey guys i was just wondering what you thought of this program i am currently doing and if you got any tips on improving it.

three sets each with 30sec rest between each set

superset incline leg raises with sit ups

then superset partial crunches on swiss ball with leg raises

then full crunches on machine all sets till failure

Heres my ab routine gives me greater defination than my training partner who is constinly experimenting with abdominal exercises in bb magazines. 3 sets 60 rep roman chairs 3 sets 12 rep seated leg tucks 2 sets till failure hanging reverse crunches 2 sets till failure twisting hanging leg raises 3 sets 8 reps flat bench leg raises 2 sets 10 rep twists 5 extensive vacumes I have always finished my abdominals with vacume poses as they help improve defination and give you more controll of the abdominal muscles. Hope this was any help.
