Who Here Blows Off Abs Especially if You Are Married? Be Honest

[curling]

Ok ok ya'll got me doing squats which I never thought I ever would but abs I just don't get doing them. They are hard to do they hurt and you have to masively diet to get them to show. The reason ya'll talked me into doing squats was the fat burning qualites of having bigger legs. So that made sense to me.

If I was single, I might go for it to get chicks. But since I am not, I don't see the point. I like food. I do. I mean it is one of the more enjoyable parts of life. Why sacrafice it for have a washboard on you gut. And to get a six pack you have to watch every freak'n thing you eat and you have to do cardio(hate that too) and you have to bust ass on doing abs which has got to be worse than working legs. So one day I decided I just was not going to them anymore. Well that is not totally honest I might do them once every two weeks but very regulary. But I would rather spend the time building some other muscle group.

I mean the reason you do abs is to get chicks or compete and since I am not doing either especially chicks I like my money more than I do my muscles and I don't want to lose half like Eddie Murphy said in the Raw video from getting some peice of hide on the side.


Btw I am not a fat ass or anything I am probably 13 to 14% fat which I think is good enough I might try to hit 11 to 12% for summer time but that's it.

Well what about ya'll do ya'll do'em and remember be honest? And if you are married and have a six pack from all that dieting and hard work, why?

Got the six pack while married.... still have them now that I am divorced.

It is a matter of what makes YOU happy.

Sorry about the divorce Bikinimom that sucks. You do have some nice abs btw. And now that you are single I can see you wanting to keep them. But don't you miss eating some foods while hating eating others?

Well I am not married (and don`t plan to be for a freaking long time either)..

I am a body builder, therefore to look like one, I must have the total package.

What`s the point of having alot of muscle if part of it is smoothed over by lard? Even if I was married I would still want a nice six pack. Think of it this way...you both go to the beach, you would have more babes checking you out...which your wife would notice and that gives you an edge in the relationship (she would know your a hot item with the opposite sex).

Honestly you just seem a little lazy because of your comments ...

they are hard to do and they hurt...uh, they aren`t that hard, and many like the pain. No pain, no gain.

you have to masively diet to get them to show...if you are a fat ass, then yes you do, otherwise youjust have to have some self control and cut back a little.

And to get a six pack you have to watch every freak'n thing you eat and you have to do cardio...you can have a six pack and splurge once in a while, and I rarely do cardio. You can ride a real bike or play some sport once a week etc, there are many things you can do to ramp up your metabolism...

You sound like you just want people to agree with you so you will feel better about having flabby abs.

Yea that's it. No I am not lazy ok I am a little lazy I just hate doing sit ups ok? I don't enjoy it at all. I like doing all the other lifts and exercises even squats sometime. But I despise doing abs. It just hurts and you really don't get a good pump like you get from other muscle groups. Also you have to get down to at least 8 to 10% body fat to see them don't you?

Also as far as your wife seeing chicks coming on to you that don't get you any more sex. So what's the point. If you need to float your ego sure that's nice but so is food.

lazy bitch here, too. and i'm not even married...26 and single. basically i can't stand doing abs and have never included them in my workout because i feel they get enough work during movements like sl dls and squats and whatnot. basically you are always hitting your abs during an intense set so i figure that in itself is enough work. the fat i keep under control by dieting only and don't do any cardio. right now i have a 32" waist and my abs aren't crystal clear but they still look better than 95% of all other dudes i see my age.

Curling - no need to be sorry, the divorce is A GOOD THING.. would I have prefered to stay and work it out? YES, but I couldn't work it out alone and that is all I will say about it.

As for getting and KEEPING my six pack. I am smokin' with 'em and smokin' without 'em. Am I more satisfied with my appearance at 12% than at 20%bf - yes, but that doesn't mean that I will be miserable.... just do a little cardio and cut out downing all kinds of food that will make me feel sluggish anyways.

Would it be nice if I could eat cheesecake after EVERY MEAL? Yes, but that doesn't mean that I deprive myself either. It is all about priorities. If it would be a priority for you to get and maintain a six pack - you would have them. Do I put people who DON'T have one down? ABSOLUTELY NOT. If someone is happy with themselves whether it be physically, socially, educationally, WHATEVER - and they are polite to me and treat me with respect - THEN IT IS ALL GOOD!

I would NEVER be with someone purely because of their physical appearance. I am waaaaaaay too good for that. The SECOND a man that appears to be interested in me either compliments my body or face or makes the slightest sexual innuendo - I AM OUTTA THERE!

So Bikinimom, what if the dude is giving you a genuine compliment. I mean what if he says, "dang nice work on you arms great definition" or "I wish I had the will power and drive to get abs like that". Would that bother you? I mean it makes me feel good when people say nice things about the work I have done. I understand you not liking the sexual innuendos but complitments I thought everybody likes those.

And just to make sure everyone understands I am not fat I just don't have a six pack. I don't ever want to get fat again. Yuck. It sucks being fat.

hey supersizeme, it's soda popinski!!!!! (isn't it?) as for the question, yeah i'm al little lazy too when it comes to abs, but thats more because of the fact that I have a back condition.
but i can see where youre coming from (curling)

 

[Bikini Mod]

There is a difference between someone saying,"Nice definition in your arms." and, "DAYUM you have an AWESOME BODY" *tongue hanging* (Should be more like .....would I like to FUCK YOU but good - and YES, I HAVE HEARD THIS TOO - as a come on, if you can believe it.)

Don't get me wrong. I am not some prissy bitch that walks around with her ass hanging out of her shorts and then wonders why a guy will only look at her ass. If I have my ass hanging out then I take all the comments with a grain of salt.... after all, I DO have my ass hanging out - LOL!

But if a man can not see that I have obviously worked VERY HARD to get the physique I now have (so I must realize what I have accomplished) adn that I am not some "gym bunny" then he is either A) a total asshole or B)totally stupid. In any event, if he can not come up with something a little MORE to talk about then I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM. Now it is different if the guy wants to talk about diet and/or training etc... that is a complete compliment. As a matter of fact, from a guy - I take that as A REAL COMPLIMENT.

And I am VERY APPROACHABLE ......if the guy is NOT A TOTAL JERK.

And once you get the sixpack, it is not that hard to maintain... really it isn't.
