bro i think you should abs and cardio hard for a week. Also i was reading your journal and u said you have a slow metabolism. If you want to increase you need to do alot more cardio it increases your metabolism wicked believe me i know as soon as i eat something i have to go to the bathroom lol.

LOL. Thats' me! My wife hates going out to eat with me

My ab work is somewhat limited to when my low back says "enough". I'm still only about 3 years out from a severe back injury. I'm still working my way back into a lot of ab work. It is key to a healthy back though.

haha yup.

try doing all your workouts with some form of core involved. example... chest presses on a ball not a bench. squats on a half ball. do as many different exercises standing. then do traditional ab exercises two or three times a week.

heavy lifting stimulates the metabolism waaaay more than cardio... going to the bathroom after eating has nothing to do with this either...

Im not sure if I have a slow metabolism, wierd thing is it seems to speed up at night, but Im an endo and endo's have a slow metabolism... I did abs after back and they are sore as fuck today, I only did 6 sets lol. I did:
Decline Cable Situp
3 plates x 8 reps
2 plates x 10 reps
1 plate x 12 reps

then 3 supersets of hanging knee raise and weighted hypers

Abs are like calves - I wana train them, but after a workout its not fun an I cant be bothered after Im blown from hard liftin it takes time and I dont like being in the gym ages either. But I really need to...

I usally do 2-5 sessions a week on them. ABS SHOULD BE WORKED ALL THE TIME...not just when cutting How you gonna impress those girls if your shoulders and chest are looking good but its all in vain when she looks at a big old beer gut starring back at her???? Arnold said abs are the most impressive bodypart....when everything else is up to par id have to agree.
