Ideas for next contest/competition...

[dan991]

Just because someone has been in the gym less time than you dosent mean anything. Look at Jeff Seid. He's 18 years old and looks better than any of us ever will.
Phil Heath became an IFBB pro bodybuilder after being a college basketball player in only 6 years.
Stop using your experience in the gym as a gauge of someone elses stats. You may be right about everything you said, i'm not gonna question it, whether I believe it or not. But some people have great genetics and some don't. Simple. Honestly I believe the dude was that low. One of my buddies got second in Oregon for physique. He's only 19. Probably had lower than 8% on the day of competition. He's been in the gym for around 4 years now. I've been training since I was eleven and still haven't competed yet. Time in the gym doesn't matter as much as work ethic.

I'm sure everyone on this forum has the genetics..... maybe they should all enter this contest then....

dan u sure are good at saying stuff to get reactions outta people arent u! (myself included)

let me try to be dan for a minute:

shit i have a 6 pack right now and im 25%bf! i never have to do crunches to keep my abs. i just finished eating 6 mcrib sandwiches and am about to have a bowl of ice cream. all you guys on this forum are a bunch of liars and losers! yall fVcking stupid if u think you cant have abs at 25% body fat!

even arnold schwarzeneggar never got below 10% body fat he just didnt have as many fat cells as yall do because he watched what he ate when he was a kid!

the best way to tell what your true body fat percentage is is to measure the circumference of ur dick and multiply it by 2.375!!

yall are all stupid and im the only smart guy on here! the next time anyone wants to know anything about anything just ask me.. dammit!

Actually- its an 8 pack but my BF levels are too high to see the other two. And I told you ALL you need to do to get under 10% BF is get to 1,000 posts and all is good.

Wait 405... you aren't pissy because you just got back from the gym and did that ab routine and it hurt are you?

i did try the swimming kicks and they were tuff but i did em wrong cuz it was before the explanation..

[--->>405<<---]

i think the biggest prob i have is how people that have really good abs look like theyre flexing all the time and i cant figure out how they do that! but at least now i know thats what the problem is.. i used to think it was because their bf% was really low but im starting to think theres more to it than that. like the transversus abdominis.

those deep separations between the muscles that are there all the time

Fkn GOOD abs are genetic!

No... you two are just old. That's part of the problem right there. Lunk... does dust fly up if the bar bounces on your chest when doing bench?

You tried JUST the swimming kicks? What about the rest of it?

[--->>405<<---]

LOL.. i didnt have time dude i did legs tonite and only had about 40minutes! it was a stretch to get in what i did! gonna have to work on time management.. maybe buy the things to hang at the house and do my abs in the man cave 3 nites a week.. kinda what im thinking

[--->>405<<---]

id also like to note i worked last nite from 1900 - 0500 this am and was up at 0900 and back to work at 1300 and im still here til 0000! think im doing pretty good on 3 hrs sleep!

oh and i have to be back tomorrow at 0700..

Yea- flexing ab muscles is difficult without having strong transversus. You can also suck in your stomach, hold for 30 seconds, and do a bunch of reps when doing pretty much anything. That will also work them but it doesn't give the same amount of tension on the muscles as the hanging exercises. The deep separation will be there when you have both transversus and rectus in shape as they sit on top of each other so it looks a lot deeper especially when you have a little tan going on.

upon further reflection maybe we should continue this discussion out of this thread.. sorry guys!

18-20% bf crazy!

Not to bring up the fat debate again but...

Would the correct % be 18-20% of your body's cells are fat cells whereas other people refer to the % as what % of your body weight is fat (not including bone marrow fat)

He could just hold fat in different areas... I have abs tegardles of bf but I also have love handles under 6%. How bf is distributed is crazy on some ppl... Ever see a 30%bf person with veined out forearms but a huge gut...

[human project]

I'll be your friend!!!!

I didn't get a friend request.....

[human project]

ill be the first to admit that i could definitely NOT do that many reps (or sets) right now. shoot i thought i was doing good at 20 hanging leg lifts (pike) for 3 sets.. (i actually cant even do 20 for the 3rd set).. i do em slow though.. and hold at the top.

gonna give ur routine a go. and i have MI's ab routine bookmarked as well! i had to google wood chops (or whatever its called) and i like em and am gonna do them! the thing about abs is with my schedule i work out every single day either lifting or cardio and i do it at lunch and dont really have time to get abs in with that many sets and still do either my cardio or my lifting.. im gonna have to MAKE time now cuz spring will be here in a couple months and im about to hit the cut hard! abs will be included!

Dan I have to say 100reps of anything is beast... I can't remember the last time I did 6. I want to start a ab workout for my prefontest. You have anything a little less crazy. I don't usually train abs bc they get huge and just make me look fatter... Is fatter a word??? Whatever you get the point

+1... I have a killer 6 pack after a month of plowing down 3 McRib's a day! The two love handles on the side make it 8.

Same routine- less reps. I do 100 bc for 2 years I've been doing it. I started with 3 reps, then 5, etc. Focus on form and concentrate on core while making sure you're not swinging in the hanging exercises. Doing 100 shit reps that are 90% cheating and 10% focused is garbage. Focus on keeping the strain on your abs and isolation- the rest will come with time. Don't train abs with weights- you'll end up looking bloated.

I'm just sayin


The term "Napoleon complex" has been used in scientific research on the phenomenon of smaller organisms acting aggressively towards larger organisms. In contrast to the many examples of larger organisms acting aggressively towards smaller organisms in the animal kingdom, some studies of aggressive behavior in organisms have detected cases where smaller individuals initiate aggression.[10] A 1995 study of contests between males in the swordtail fish species Xiphophorus nigrensis and Xiphophorus multilineatus found that 78 % of observed fights were initiated by the smaller fish, and in 70 % of fights the fish that delivered the first bite lost the conflict.[11] From an evolutionary perspective, this "Napoleon complex" behavior seems irrational.[10]
Posited explanations include an asymmetry in the value of the contested resource to the two combatants (the individual with lower resource holding potential may attack first if the value of the resource is greater for him), a misconception on the part of the weaker organism about his own strength, and the "Desperado Effect", where omega males attack because they have no other opportunities to gain resources.[12]
Ohio University researchers have suggested another explanation, that the stronger contestant benefits from delaying escalating a display to a fight, "leaving the initiative to the opponent and hoping for him to retreat, either because of realistic perception of his chances to win the fight or by mistake. [...] our proposed explanation for what is commonly considered the 'Napoleon Complex' might be appropriately identified as the 'Gentle Giant Syndrome.'"[13]

How did this train wreck become my fault?! I stopped 3 pages ago. I didn't restart until AFTER 405 dumped gas on the fire...... and then I asked him to move it all and start a whole new thread so....

Sorry....

[kelkel]

So end it here then. Seriously. You seem to have a ton of interesting info on ab work and fat cells that guys seem interested in. Please just start a new thread on it. I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses and the thread could be useful. This is Misery's thread and it's way off point.
