Abs Puffing Out My Stomach...WTF?

[HOLYSHITLOOK@ME]

Little buddy? There may be a bunch of pencil neck fucks on this site claiming to know the world about working out, but i'm not one of em. You're probly a half rate aerobic inst. And if thats you in that avatar, you should be in the gym......NOW. Then maybe you'll look as good as the top 10% of us. I was just giving my $.02. I didn't think viseral fat formed that quickly

When I do abs I concentrate mainly on my breathing. If you're doing abs and have a full "belly" of air, the muscles will build outward taking the shape of (i think) your diaphram. Have little air in your lungs when doing abs. And so there's no confusion I'm not saying that muscle is being built as you're exercising, but the angle the the muscles are being "hit" when your tummy is poofed outwards versus flat.

So how do you support your lower back on decline situps? Air holds my abdomens tight.

Maybe it was always there... we don't know.

I'm sorry you took those two little words so personally. Me? Aerobic instructor ... this avi is from the end of my last cut at around 190-200lbs... i'm up around 230lbs now sweetheart.

But back to the topic at hand...

Your cheat meals may bloat you. You could possibly have an oat allergy that gets you bloated from the get go in the morning... i've read of a few people having that problem.

what? a full belly of air? you mean your lungs? are abs covering your abs?

I would drop the cream of wheat from your diet- that stuff basically hits your system like sugar. Its right up there with Corn Puffs cereal.

Not that I am the master of diet discipline- but I would also cut back the cheat meals- treat your meals like the inverse of church. Be good on 6 days of the week and cheat on one day- and don't go overboard on that one day.

You weren't wrong about Sarge being an aerobics instructor though, for whatever that's worth. Camouflage leg warmers and everything.
