(F)ab-u-lous?
Tonight was all about abs. I have come to discover these are stubborn creatures that will take a ton of love but not give much back. I usually try to hit them hard and from a bunch of different angles … but, as mentioned, they are stubbord basstids!
So the routine was 3 x 30(ish) reserve curls on a slant board, an oblique exercise one of the gym sirens showed me, an oblique move using a ball between my legs and curling the ball while up on one butt cheek - keeping the ball balanced and off the floor (i have no shame when it comes to gym sirens…) front and side ab cable pull downs and a mid height cable twist (i think i invented this) that hits the obliques pretty well. Topped it off with old fashioned slant board sit ups and some dbell deadlifts. I’m feeling it now.
Karla mentioned to me that the people i mentioned in my first post had alot of experience lifting and body chiseling and she is of course 100% correct. I am certainly not aiming that high, I think turning a few heads and a compliment everyonce in a while would be nice. The worst critic i have is my mirror. I would like to push this pretty hard and see what happens, hopefully i will get over the current plateau and see what’s on the other side.

Abs are all about the diet….You can work them as hard as you like, if you don’t get rid of the fat over them its all for naught..

Why wouldn’t you want to aim that high??

You got it girl … I will aim for the stars! I just have to figure out a few things. I know i need to eat to get bigger. So do you bulk then diet to gain size or can you slim and grow at the same time?
