the muscle between abs and pecs

iMan323 · 12-18-2006, 06:01 PM

does anyone know what excersizes really bring out that muscle between your abs and your chest? I remember doing something that made it stand out like crazy, but for the life of me I can't remember what excersize that was.

Heeeeelp

I didn't realise there was a muscle there...

iMan323 · 12-18-2006, 07:23 PM

ok, whatever it is, the uppermost part of abs. the part that still covers the ribs, not the abdominal cavity. how do you work that thing?

zl214 · 12-18-2006, 08:27 PM

anterior serratus.

zl214 · 12-18-2006, 08:29 PM

or abdominal oblique muscle?

not sure which part you meant.

iMan323 · 12-18-2006, 08:59 PM

The muscle that I hi-lited in the pic. Also, I just realized that my mantittied don't drop down as far as this guys. I'm a tall guy, so I have about half an inch of space between my pec and my abs. I want to know how I can fill that space.

Diet is just one half of the equation. You have to work your abs if you want anything more then an abdominal vacuum. Having a low body-fat% doesn't give you well developed abs, it just exposes them more. There's no substitute for training.

MAC33 · 12-19-2006, 07:58 PM

Well if it's part of the abdominal muscle then shouldn't it technically contract to almost all ab-exercises? I could be horribly wrong... which is why I added a question mark. On a side note... Tupac just came out with a new albulm... does anyone else find this strange? You know... considerin he's dead in all... I mean I know he's a "thug-4-life" but still recording albulms in the after life is just straight up gangsta... fo real. Ok.. I'm done with that.

Your abdominal muscles are not flat. You dont have to train them to give them shape, the shape is natural.

If you want well defined, visible abdominal muscles, then all that is holding you back is your bodyfat %.

Thats it.

Muscles don't grow?

plewser2006 · 12-20-2006, 11:32 AM

well the muscles will grow if you work them...
but everyone has abs, everyone has an 8 pack... its just under a layer of fat...

nobody on earth has such undeveloped abs that they are not gunna show up if you have low body fat... you use them everytime you... sit down, stand up, walk,... mine even contract a little when i breath.. so doing 1000 situps a day isnt gunna give you well defined abs if you dont have low body fat

Read what i said. "Shape" not "Size".

Besides, why would you want 'big' abs? Big abs = thick waist = not particularly aesthetic...

Train for abdominal stability and strength if its useful, but if we're just talking about getting definition then its all diet.

	When you learn to find the humor in every situation... you'll learn that laughing is a much better reaction than getting upset.
