Chicken or Steak?

[Lestat]

Here was what I did.

Crunches on an Ab machine at my house that I can add up to 15lbs of weight onto.
sets of 25 to start, then upped it to sets of 50. 200-400 per session

Lying leg lifts, 25 to start, then upped to 50.
Then put a 5lb dumbell between my feet, that went up to eventually 20lbs

Hanging leg lifts. Sets of 25, legs bent at first, then straight.

I did this 3 times per week for about 6 months and saw dramatic results.

When I said up to a new weight or up to more reps I mean I started at the lower then built up to more as my abs got stronger.

Here's me:

I know this isnt directed at me:


Giant set:


weighted decline sit ups
side hypers - weighted
leg raises
cable crunches - weighted

I wish my obliques were smaller, I used to do oblique work, but it seemed to get them bigger, not leaner... and Arnold always said never do oblique work!

You can tell by looking at your waist measurement versus the distance between the hip bones...that gives you a rough estimate if is primarilyhip width or oblique thickness...you look good..I certainly wouldnt worry about it

Thanks, that was last August.

I am down near the same weight again, have a little more muscle, working on the last of the love handles. Will get updated ab shots soon.

both lookin good.. i dont have a digital camera but mine look similar to lestat.. cant quite see the bottom 2 unless flexing..

been doing weighted leg raises.. weighted decline ups will work my problem spot?

I have never done any exercises for my obliques but they always have been real cut when my diet is right.

All I do is twists with the heavy bar.

i am also scared of getting them 2 thick BUT I am going to do that routine and see what happens.

for me it seemed like the weighted leg lifts did the lower abs...

declines are mainly midline and up imo

hanging leg raises with ankle weights will help.......the rest is really diet...but building them helps....

hanging helps, but I feel that lower spot burn the most with those leg lifts.

if you will notice I mentioned that initially.......I was giving an alternate way of doing them
