Hey.....just wanted to know if any of you every overworked your abs with crunches and ended up with a poking belly. I was advised to work with this personal trainer/bodybuilder (not a bb myself..just trying to stay in shape so thought I'd inquire to bb women).The trainer insisted on crunches..so that my pumped belly out. I just had to end the workouts. Its nearly a year now and it just won't go back to being flat. I don't overeat, not overweight..veggies, water, I don't need colonics (thank goodness)...but if I relax there it goes sticking out. Although I am not fat by any stretch of the imagination. I figure maybe I should lower my body fat..since I gained some inches in the past few years...and it looks like the work with that trainer just pushed it to the edge. I do vacuums, yoga, I stay away from crunches that only get the top layer abs...for fear that it gets pumped anyways. How do I get rid of this belly problem? or have I just built by belly/abs into a permanent stomach-bicep?.

I"m not really sure I follow wht you mean poking belly. Lots of weighted ab work could make you appear thicker. Some people will tend to hold more bodyfat there so dietng down might help (note diet is what gets you the 6 pack & not thousands of crunches every day - you can have whtever muscle under there but until the bodyfat is gone it won't show).
 
Thanks for the reply. Yea...the extra body fat...I know about reducing that...not trying to spot reduce, btw :verygood: But I mean "pokes" out..like if slightly full from a meal, except there is no meal. Its not entirely extra inches its actually abs. Right around where the bellybotton is, theres a grabbable pinch except it hurts because its actually muscle I'm pulling. I can contract it where if it were just fat it would just stay where its been pinched at. There are days I think this ab problem had gone for good, but then before you know its back....and of course having lower to body fat is in there too. I just hope I don't disappear altogether trying to my lower bf..and still stuck with that little belly.
Well, back to the drawing board and I guess more cardio :jump:

If it is muscle thickness, I guess just lay off the ab work for a while.

Also just a thought - you mentioned "no colonics" -- if you never done a colon cleanse, you might consider that. You can get OTC pills or powder at GNC. It will clean you & thats a good thing if you've never done it.
