Had a look at my "angle" last night, I don't think that's a huge part of it but when I take pics I'll try and take one showing the two points in question and you can see angle for your selves. Don't worry Birds, I didn't think you meant pull up with the neck, I've done ab work for ages and learned long ago not to pull in that way, good for others reading who might not know that though.

As per my other thread, due to SFA leg work I am actually very top heavy which is part of the reason I do crunches and not full sit ups (that and protecting my back) I literally roll backwards lol, like a turtle. Off home now, catch tomorrow.
-
Nick I thought that adding weight and doing lower reps would make the muscle bigger, I don't to exacerbate the protruding look issue. Was under the impression that for abs reps were OK as tone is more the goal (in my case). Also interesting vid. You will all see what I mean when I post some pics, prolly Wednesday Night/Thursday morning, the most likely culprit is I'm just holding too much fat in the mid section due to my dietary choices.

I can forgive that as he used "you're" correctly and that made me happy. Son I am proud.

I lol'd but he does have plenty of other joints and appendages to be exploited in lieu of timely payments... Creepy comment is creepy 0_0

The morning walk is more so for the dog, as she's only 9mths and has lots of energy, I jog it just to get it over with faster. At night, M/W/F I start exercising as soon as I get home, takes about an hour. On the off days Tuesday and Thursday, I'm likely to go for a bigger walk with Kate and the Dog and on the weekends we usually go somewhere with the dog and I do the usual BS of wash both cars, mow lawns (1280sqm block) etc so it's not like I'm inactive.

Will do re pics. I could do more cardio for sure, atm I walk the dog each morning which is only a small 20min circuit, which I jog most of (I find it hard to get going in the mornings) and then a bigger walk with the dog and missus a few nights a week. I could deffo be getting back into my bike or running though. Same, no way I'll give up sweet things and tasty treats.

If you mean this I used to do this a bit actually, I should add it back in.

Yeah I know, I used to be 65kg and had awesome looking, zero work, abs lol. I wouldn't say ice cubes but pretty firm and pretty visible when tensed, it's the fact that when not tensed they disappear as my stomach protrudes out a bit, as if I've just eaten a big meal as you mentioned. From that list, only deadlift, and that's the stiff leg variety as my hamstring flexibility is poor. I'll try keeping my core tensed and posture good and see what effect it has over the next few weeks. I'm too much of a fooder to cut out heaps of things from my diet Shit, maybe I am just fat, starting to sound that way. If I take some tensed/untensed photos for review am I gonna have to endure 3 pages of bullshit about how pale I am, how my chest isn't hairy enough, biceps too small blah blah or are we all reasonably good at staying on topic and just telling me my core needs work and my body fat % is too high?
-
Much obliged. I concede there is definitely some fat over the top but I honestly thing it's fairly minimal (can post no homo pics if needed), that's not what worries me though as I tend to prefer to eat and drink what I want, like a boss, and that's part of why I exercise, so I can enjoy myself relatively guilt free. That said the bigger issue for me is if the bulge (it looks like I'm bloated if you get me not fat as in cellulite just bloated) is more of an inner ab strength thing, and it sounds like it is. Is standing up straight and holding my stomach in using my abs enough to minimise that? It certainly seems to work for my missus but she talks about how she is not using her exterior (visible) abs to do this where as I feel like I am. She seems to refer to some magical inner ab feeling that I don't think I've felt. When I hold my stomach in I'm using my exterior abs and good posture to do it, if that's what you mean then I can do that.

OK some questions and feedback from me this morning. - Got the Dymatize (Elite Fusion 7) after reading some more reviews and seeing it compared favourably with ONs WPI Gold (another guy here at work takes that also) I've only had it a week so far but I can give initial impressions. Taste is great if you like sweet stuff which I do, I got the cookies flavoured one as it was on special for $75 delivered (2.3kg). Comes out tasting like a rich Vanilla thick/milk shake with some cookie bits in it. There's approx 50+ 44g serves in it, one large scoop = 44g. It mixes quite well given I just chuck it in a glass with milk and use a spoon to stir, 95% of it mixes up immediately and you are left with some tiny clumping which you can either stir more to break down or just use a shaker straight up. I "think" it may have given me a bit of extra gas though and it definitly affects the quality of your morning deuce but in a good way, it's teflon coated everytime 0_0 You go for the wipe and it's like nothing even happened. I have a full scoop straight after exercising (M/W/F) and then a smaller scoop from an old product the morning after as a booster sort of thing. Despite pushing a little harder to bring on some muscle soreness/fatigue as a test I've been finding that I'm recovering quite well surprisingly, especially with regards to my bung left elbow. OK now for questions. - When doing Barbel Rows, there seems to be two approaches, after bringing the bar up to the starting position and bending over people either bring it up to the chest and squeeze the shoulder blades together at the top or bring it up closer to the body and bring it up to the waist which seems to target triceps and a bit of the lats. As my goal for that exercise is more about my shoulder blades I have started bringing it up to the chest, which forced me to drop a few kgs off the bar. Can anyone see any issues with that? - I do a bit of ab work in my routine, 3 sets of 50 crunches and 3 sets of 70 reps of an air bike/leg scissor type thing. So I have OK looking abs so long as I tense them and hold them in place. If I fully relax, I look 2mths pregnant and my stomach bulges out a small amount. Is this a sign of poor internal ab strength or weak core or is it just that every photo you ever see of someone posing they are flexing their stomach? My partners stomach does not do this and she doesn't have my ab definition or strength and doesn't do any special ab work (she's a runner). I sit all day so that might be it, relaxed abs all day though she does too? I don't think my body fat % is high as I've always been a leaner guy (I'm only 81kg at 6ft). She did say that from an early age she always held her abs in place and has good posture. Thoughts?

Looking For A Senior It Engineer

Not at the moment mate but feel free to send me a resume an I can put it on file, we are a company that does actually consider previously received apps for new jobs when they arise (if the applicant is a good egg). -

No Crust Racing replied to No Crust Racing's topic in PC & Games Discussion
We've made an offer to a candidate and had it accepted. That said, if you're still interested in a Level 2 or 3 position let me know as we could use some extra hands and I can pull some strings to get budget approved for additional resources if they are good candidates. -

No Crust Racing replied to No Crust Racing's topic in PC & Games Discussion
As an update to this, based on some re-shuffling of the staff. It looks like strong windows skills will be the critical component to this job. I will most likely be the direct line manager for this position now also and I can say that 80k is available for the right candidate. I'm pretty awesome to work with and that sort of salary goes a long way here. Clearing $2,300+ a fortnight is not exactly chump change in a place where 400k gets you a house like mine, brand new, 4bdr + study on 1250+sqrs. 10-15mins to work, plenty of parking, lots of outdoor activities, race track within an hours drive, plenty of pubs and clubs, decent food an shopping. 3hr drive to Melb or less than 40min flight... This is living -
So Will Sau Folk Still Refuse To Watch V8 Supercars
No Crust Racing replied to Roy's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
*sigh* I guess Didn't they run a stock R35 around Bathurst and it was slower than a heavily modified V8SC so therefore V8s are the best uleh~ -

Most of us don't respond well to subtle, we've lost most of our sensitivity after a night with Benny. -

Woah hold on there buddy, I simply said I could go back and correct it, to make me look good. I said nothing about an apology. Presumptuous much? -

I could go back and edit my now obviously incorrect posts, but I'm too lazy so it can just stay wrong. -

*facepalm* He's talking about Nissan's current involvement in racing in general, obviously not V8SCs... Contrary to popular belief there are countries other than Australia that partake in Motorsport... even using V8s, no kidding! As for the rain my guess would be he means SuperGT. Time for the man himself to clarify as I need to get out of my pissy pants. -

Yes you did. He said CURRENT results not shit from the late 80s and early 90s, huge difference. -

G35 exists in sedan and coupe form. Makes more sense to wait for the new model though. -

Oh snap Agreed, good for the sport but on your first point I gotta say WTF? Have you driven a stock standard Skyline? Even a GT-R, they are nothing special and have almost as much body roll with less compliance for Australian road conditions meaning that in many cases they actually hold a line WORSE around any corner that's not race track smooth. Having owned and modded a GTS-T, a GT-R, and an SS I can say that on the street, you will likely never go fast enough for the chassis benefits of the imports to really make a bees dick difference - that said though the GT-R was easily the best of the 3 but also had the most superior rubber and the biggest price tag when new, so it had better be the best. On the track is a whole different ball game because each car can then run different spring rates, tyres etc, and again the local product stands up very well. I'm no die hard V8 fan, I just like "Cars" and "Motorsport, in whatever guise. I just get my knickers in a bunch sometimes about the hatred that gets thrown at the local products and the misconception that 10year old imports with some basic bolts ons are gods gift to car enthusiasts. If we're going to argue that Nissan is so hektik uleh because it can corner then we can also argue that they are a steaming pile of shit compared to an MX-5 or an S2000. This this was where my head was going too, G35 coupe? Aww yeah
