Hey - wondering if some1 can give me some advice/tips on defining the lower abs. Started WO consistantly for the past year and have seen slow but steady gains/definition (no gear), but I can't seem to loose the excess fat on my lower abs. My upper abs are fine, they're pretty slim and have definiteion but it's like a fkn spare tire below that. Here's some info on my diet, routine, etc. :
W/O: 6 day week, 5 on, 1 off: Let's say the W/O week starts on Mon.
Mon: Chests 60-90 minutes (heavy)
Tues: Cardio 45-60 min (mod to intense), Abs 30 min
Wed: Bi's, Tri's 60-90 min (heavy)
Thurs: Cardio 45-60 min (mod to intense), Abs 30 min
Fri: Shoulders, Back 60-90 min (heavy)
Sat: REST
------------------New Week---------------
Sun: Chests 60-90 min (light)
Mon: Cardio 45-60 min (mod to intense), Abs 30 min
Tues: Bi's, Tri's 60-90 min (light)
Wed: Cardio 45-60 min (mod to intense), Abs 30 min
Thurs: Shoulders, Back 60-90 min (light)
Fri: REST
Then I repeat the cycle alternating heavy and light each week.
My Ab routine consists of
1) Hanging Leg Raises 3s/20r
2) Crunches 3s/15r
3) Leg Lifts 3s/20r
4) Oblique Twists 3s/20r
and I alternate btwn 2 more excercises, which ever ab machine is free
My diets is pretty consistant during the weekdays:
9am: Carnation Instant Breakfast Powder Mix (w/Water)
10am: Either 2 banannas or 2 slices of whole weat/multi grain toast
11am: 1 pint of water
12pm: Lunch (either 1 Chicken breast, or 1 filet of grilled Salmon, Tuna
fish)
2pm: 1 pint of Water
3pm: Fruits (orange, Bananna)
5pm: Usually a yogurt or yogurt drink or nothing
7pm: Dinner (usually 1-1.5 cups of rice, and chicken/pork/fish)
9pm: Gym
11pm: EAS Myoplex Deluxe Bar
On the weekends, I usually eat when I'm hungry. But I don't do the bad fast food shit. No Pizza, or Micky D's or any of that crap. It's pretty sporatic, but usually a sandwhich (turkey on whole wheat), sushi, etc.
So, can someone tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong??
