Buddha Belly / Gorilla Gut. How does one get rid of it?

[lovbyts]

One thing I have not seen mentioned that I find helps a lot, Suck it in. A lot of people get the Buddha belly because they are relaxed or even get use to pushing it out instead of holding it in, tightening your core when lifting and just doing nothing. I noticed in Jr. High my belly was starting to stick out and I started practicing holding it in and it has always worked.

Look up doing vacuum exercises for core.

Oh yeah I do suck it in. I have gotten lazy about it over the years and realized in the past year or so that I wasn't even attempting to hold it in anymore. I was just letting gravity do its work. I.m nowhere near as big as arnold, but think of how he looked pregnant in junior. It just looks wrong for a otherwise fit, muscular individual to have a belly.

I'll check out vacuum exercises. Thanks!

I have been consciously sucking it in every waking moment since I read this, and now really don't have to try to suck it in... It just stays 'sucked in'. Either that or I'm so used to ding it I don't notice it as a conscious act anymore.

Either way, great advice. Thanks
