Ya If I hit 1000 members I dont have to work anymore Ill hire people to work for me.

I thought that too till I looked up the movement and it looked like in the demo the guy ways almost all the way bent over and coming up as he brought the weight up to him. I seen an artical in MD where they fetured tom prince and he talked about his modified bent over row so I tried it and have done it ever since.

Nah bro...there a difference between not wanting abs and being FAT.....ABS, I could care less about for the next few months.......FAT? Well, that's another story.....I consider plus 12% on the fatter side...........

If i was a fat slob, then i would be concerned. However, i dont have a big gut, so i could give a shit. Yet, i still dont know what my actual bf is, never measured.

Thursday - took the day off to recover...well, not really....did 35 min. of HIIT on the treadmill, some ab and calf work and stretched......

Looks like today is back thickness day..........not sure if I want to go the dead route or heavy dbell/str8 bar row.......I dont want to get f-ed up again like I did with delt using dbells and not being able to increase the weight weekly, so I'll probably hit deads for 5x5 then dbell rows 3 x 8-10

Might hit traps again too........thinking traps on Tuesdays and Friday...Abs on Monday,Thursday...and calves on Wednesday, Saturday.........I need to stop the AM fasted cardio NOW! Plus my sleep has been horrid. My gf's pop just lost his battle with cancer after 13 months of HELL.....ever since he got sick, I sleep for a hour, wake up, sleep for 2....wake up.....sleep for 1, etc.......and everytime I have to PISS.....so, I'm not sure if pissing is waking me up, or nerves......

NERVES.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needsize comes though!

Try this one, this is the only ab exercise I've done for a couple of years now, and it totally transformed my abs Start on a decline bench, slowly lower yourself until your around halfway down, to the point where you feel the most resistance. Hold that for a slow count of 5, then slowly bring yourself back up. That's one rep, aim for say 5 sets of 5 reps, to start, once you can do that, either add more reps or start to add weight. My abs now stick out to the point where I can see them pretty well even when carrying a lot of bodyfat. This was taught to me by a nationally ranked powerlifter, as a means of strengthening my abs to improve my squat, so it has that benefit as well as building wicked looking abs.

This is an ab routine i would be willing to try and i hate abs. I think i may start TODAY. Try not to go into a state of shock after reading this JKurz.

Not shocked......why would I be? Ab routine won't do shit but strengthen your back without a good diet......

Today Is deads @ 375x5, then t bar rows @ 350 for 2 sets of 10, then bent over rows tom prince style @ 225 for 2 sets of 10, then the freemotion row @ 140 for 2 sets of 10

Bent rows at 225 for 10 is TOUGH................that's good form??? Props bro...just a slight bend?

Ya I would say about a 30 degree angle. Pretty good form. My back is my strongest body part.

So Bigman, how was the weekend? What was on the menu and how much cardio did you do? I took Thursday off, trained Saturday (heavy legs) and then came back and did some light leg work/cardio/abs/calves yesterday...today i'ts back to CHest/Backwidth.........I have to revamp my routine for 2 things....one, I started too heavy the first two days, so I will probably go with the same weight one more week and #2 I'm switching gyms as a convienience issue and there is no hammar machines.....no big thing, but I'm pumped!
