should I start doing abs yet?? ( pics )

**mustang331** · 04-25-2005, 02:00 PM

I have been pretty heavy for a while, I am 25 years old and currently 175lbs, I still have some fat on me but allot less then when I was 195.
The reason I have not been doing abs is because I don't want the muscle to push my fat out even more..

Anyway I have a pic of myself ( the only one I got ) and would like to know you guys opinion if I should start..

If I should what should I do and what days Etc...

Thanks!!

BTW!! A little warning on the pic

I took it with my camera phone for some internet hoe about 2 weeks ago, I edited out the "MONSTER"

I would take another one but at work..

OK I SAID WHAT THE **** PICTURE WAS GONNA BE!! Don't click it.. This is not about what I am wearing. Its about helpin a brotha out!!
I am @ work and would like to know some things, this is the only **** picture I got RIGHT NOW!! I will get more later if needed.. It's really a simple answer..

***perfectbeast2001*** · 04-25-2005, 02:33 PM

I was just wondering why you would take a picture like that LMFAO

**fitnessguy** · 04-25-2005, 02:33 PM

pretty small edit for a "MONSTER" haha
that IS one disturbing photo. wasn't expecting that.
Yes i would do abs. In fact i would have been doing abs....
and as for this comment below, wrong approach IMO. You sound like a girl saying "I don't workout because i don't want to get big and bulky like those guys you see on TV". <- That's bullsh!t. It takes many years of doing many things the CORRECT way to acheive a physique like theirs. and a long time to acheive great abs. They don't pop out over night. Work your abs like any other muscle group.

Not meant to flame you at all. Just a critique and my opinion.

Yes,
Work your abs. Your core is the most important aspect of all major lifts. . .

**bluethunder** · 04-25-2005, 03:03 PM

Should of been working abs when you started..so do them now.

***perfectbeast2001*** · 04-25-2005, 03:09 PM

was the "internet Hoe" impressed?? I bet she complained about your abs!! haha only joking!

**BlueAndromeda73** · 04-25-2005, 04:01 PM

definately work your abs, not only will they look better when you lose more weight, but your core strength will go up allowing you to lift more.

**brew035** · 04-25-2005, 04:12 PM

Dont be suprised if someone ask you for the unedited version.LOL

No really though hit the abs and check out wal-mart for some shorts.

Was the picture taken for your monster or your abs because they both need work.LOL Just messin with ya.

**TimeToGetBig27** · 05-08-2005, 03:00 PM

That was some scary stuff, wasnt really expecting that but of course you should be doing abs. and wearing shorts...

**bedrock** · 05-08-2005, 03:46 PM

Hell yes do abs, but also start lifting weights.

**mass junkie** · 05-08-2005, 05:17 PM

Yes, you should of been doing abs since you started any sort of training regimine

**Nicky B** · 05-08-2005, 06:20 PM

Why would you even ask if you should workout the muscles ladies love. Come On Now.

**diezell** · 05-08-2005, 06:51 PM

yes, on both counts

**Prime** · 05-09-2005, 05:12 AM

core strength is the foundation to overall strength. Yes you need to work them. You dont need to train them 7 days a week but they need the same attention as any other bodypart.

**steve0** · 05-10-2005, 05:19 PM

if that were me i would never post that pic

**ReX357** · 05-10-2005, 06:16 PM

The answer is yes. You should train every muscle you can train. The more muscles you have, the faster you burn fat!!

plus they'll more visible when your BF is low!

i hit abs yr around whether im bulking of leaning out, cardio is the key to getting great abs in some ppls case, me personally, never do cardio and still maintain decent abs... some ppl dont understand having stong abs will also help in other forms of lifting its always good to have a stong stomach area when weight training IMO good luck

**needmorestrength** · 05-11-2005, 08:54 AM

Abs are an integral part of lifting especially squats and deadlifts.. So even if not for show you should be training them
