Rock,
It is working for me is all I can really say about it. Even with the weight I have gained ( and a lot of it that is fat has gone to my waist

) I can still see abs , feel abs . I am looking forward to my next cut to see what is really under there .

Any suggestions? It is the only thing I haven't changed a little in the past 3 months at least .

Rocco32 · 06-22-2004, 04:13 PM

I don't have any suggestions right now other than I would switch things up a bit. But training abs confuses the hell outta me to tell you the truth, LOL!

gwcaton · 06-22-2004, 06:40 PM

it's all confusing if you read too much or ask too many questions . LOL

Hi Gorgeous !

My leg raises are knee raises , kind of like lying on your back and pulling your knees up to your chest only in a hanging position. And the db is in between my knees.

I think i might break something if I tried to do leg raises with that much weight between my feet ! OUCH !

OH and yes you are the Queen !!!!!

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
