help me loose/gain a few?

Post by fatcakes227 »

Alright, I weight 134 pounds, and I am around 5 foot 8,
I have pretty strong abs, I don't really do sit ups/crunches
that much but I have an ab lounge that I use every 2 or 3
days. I have a little bit of a stomach over abs not much
though, like while I'm sitting down or anything it looks like I
have a kinda big stomach but you can push in and it's less
than an inch before you feel abs, and you can feel each
individual ab thing like in a six pack, as you go up.
so question is how do I loose those last few pounds to
get abs, or how do I gain more muscle in abs so that they
will show up over/through fat?
current record is 800 consecutive situps on the ablounge
but I believe that I could easily beat that because I don't
set the goal for max, I set a number goal before I try
to break record I get on it and say 700 then do 700
and stop instead of going until I can't bring myself up
one last time.

Doing ab work never gave anyone a six pack! It will only make it look better once its there and visible.

Its all in the diet! You need to loose fat to have your abs show, and to help stop the "little look" you need to work on your obliques as they hold the abs in place and therefore give you that slim look.

Doing cardio and eating right are the secrets to having great looking abs
