Haha that's a nice feeling dude. I know what you're going through!.:ronin:.|Patton wrote:
Yeah i know and its not just muscle strength its fat loss too. I got to the point where i wasn't burning any more fat or gaining any strength. I went from curling 50lb dumbells to 60's in just 3 weeks, +40lbs on my bench, doing 210 on lat pulldowns oppose to 180 before, and i lost like 10lbs i can actually start to see the outline of my abs now for the first time in my life.
Yes, concentrate on side crunches targeting that specific side of abs. When doing crunches, put extra pressure on your right hand side. Quite basic things really, it's like having a weaker bicep. Do more on that bicep till it has levelled out. Same goes for abs.Noobeater wrote:
Just thought I would ask for a bit of non vital advice here gents.
My abs are a very strange situation it seems, the left hand side of my abdominals are advancing very nicely, sort of 50% of the way towards zimmers if you will. My right hand side is nowhere near as well developed as that, they look almost normal. They are solid as anything but they're just not as developed as my left hand side.
This doesn't seem to make a huge amount of sense to me as its all one big muscle group but I think the blame may come from last january when I had a horrible flu virus that caused my to have long coughing fits that would cause me to draw my left knee up into my chest and almost double over even though the coughing caused my abdominals to tenst up fully for a minute or two at a time every 15-20 minutes. This lasted for about a week and a half.
I'm currently doing the P90x ab routine every other night but I would like to know if there is any decent way of equalising them out without simply continuing as I am doing until the left side plateaus and the right catches up.
Cheers guys.
Yeah I feel ya. I love the comments, whenever I see old friends I cant help but to be excited about what they will say. Just be careful, its easy to let it go to your headJebus wrote:
OT story here
Just came back from a party, the first one with a regular shirt on, because the weather allowed it (I normally go out with some kind of hoodie/ w/e)
Some friends I hadn't seen for a while were also there, and I'm not kidding you when I got at least 5 remarks saying 'have you been working out?'
Awesome feeling that other persons can notice you've been working hard, it sure is motivating

Any cycling shorts (that's what I call them) will do the trick. Nike, Adidas, McDavid, Puma all do them. I have a McDavid and Adidas pair. Prefer McDavid, but I paid a lot more for them.theDude5B wrote:
Anyone know of any good compression shorts or compression boxers? All this jogging is causing chafeing!
How long are they? I don't want them to extend further than my normal shorts.Zimmer wrote:

Does anybody here read Mens Health. Some seriously good shit in there.
Yeah.. But if you find yourself on a 2 hour bus ride by yourself some of the stuff is interesting. They don't just deal with workouts and what-not. They got some interesting studies n shit on sex and stuff. It's fun to read and you can learn a lot.PrivateVendetta wrote:
I'll wait thanks.
Generally recycling the same shit over and over, with 'miracle workouts' for your abs that aren't miracles, they still take a lot of effort.

Mens health is one issue recycled 3000 times. That is all it is. The workouts are mostly okay, but none of them are earth shattering. The ab workouts are usually the most disappointing.
