well, im a teen and i have a high metabolism rate, if u notice my post and threads, u will see i have alot of troule putting on weight. but i dont stop trying, i eat alot of rice and meat, drink mass gainer, and whey protein after workout as i belive 1 day i will suceed!

reat symmetry? what does it mean?
hoepfully 1 day i can make it as hard as cobblestones, that would rock!!

im 50kg only btw.....targeting 75kg in 2years, wizh me luck!

(i lack of chest muscle thou)

babi ah you!

Icypetals, if you wanna kickstart your gains right, I strongly suggest Rippetoe's beginner routine. So many people have great success with it, and I don't doubt you'll be one of them. Nice abs, but you're going to have to be ready to see them slowly smoothening out. I doubt you'll lose them completely on your "quest" to 75KG's but it'll be less visible. Don't worry about losing them though, they'll come back real easy.

Like I've said once and I'll say it again, the secret to weight gain is 7 exercises;

Squat
Deadlift
Overhead Press
Pull-ups
Dips
Benches
Barbell rows

All you need is a barbell, a rack, a bench and a bar to hang on.

Boo ya abs..hahahha.. I am just being envious i guess...well I dont know actually. bah..

sit ups only? wahh any tips?

bro, get your nutrition timing right and plan your meal. dont just stuff yourself with food like a dustbin. owh ya, also, get your diet right as well.

ahh, i donno, that time i ask my friend how to get six pack, he say do sit-up. so i do sit up lol.
when free do sit up, wake up do sit up, afternoon back school do sit up, anytime do situp.
2months got 6 packs lol.
Until recently i read recently that got other kind of abs exercise, now i doing leg raise, curnches, situp, and learn bycicle crunches.
since i start working out, i dont take softdrink or snack(seriously), ok, once a month la.
ever since, my appetite gotten better alot and i eat more!

and i guess my diet is right

Hey guys. Thought I'd just give myself a few shots and have you guys rate me.

You guys are right, after gaining weight, I noticed my abs started to bulge a little (at the lower ab).
Well, I just had my full meal and lots of milk when I snapped this photo



And here is my arm. I really dunno how to peak my biceps well so it looks small here.





Will be working more on my arms.

work more on your obliques if you target same as mine

I did my first abs workout of the year 2008 this morning. 2 sets crunch and 2 sets reverse crunch. My abs cramped after that. Worse than newbies.

Biasalah bro..
After recovering from my sickness...like 1 month...my usual sets and reps for workout also cacated.
I couldn't finish my abs circuit LOL but can feel its working

Tell me about it, I did my direct ab workout on Tuesday morning. And till today, I can't even sneeze without it hurting.
Jeez.isnt' there a better way to do this cfrap

I hate doing abs. I trained my abs once in a blue moon. There's no point spending hours on abs cause you just can't burn the spare tires.

'
nice abs. been stressing more on it, huh? arms and shoulder looks untrained

I do it at the end of every workout session tho...
and yea..dont need to spend hours..at most..the circuit only takes afew mins with about 20 secs or 30 seconds rest in between each circuit.

Haha this is result of Home Gym with 3kg Dumbbells >_>
Yeah I know my biceps are very meh. I had just done my biceps workout after a few months not doing when I snapped the pic.
Couldn't even flex at all, like out of energy.

Hoping to see progress in a 2 months! I just bought a chin-up bar and going to buy a 10kg dumbbell.

lol, i do my abs the most
actually cause im weak and i cant do anything heavy=.=

Aicks, anybody got abs workout rountine i can follow?

well, crunches, reversal crunches will be just fine.
don't forget to do some back stretching / training. else, you may look a lil' hunchback due to the unbalance muscle developments at the back.

i do leg raise, they are the easiest! is leg raise as effective as doing crunches?

And how many reps?

I read on9 that bicylce cruches/bicycle menuver is the best abs exerciswe

biceps is ok, triceps and shoulders very lack >.<

Leg Raise is one of the best abs workout. It works the entire abs muscle. Try incline leg raise. The more incline the more effective it is.
Make sure keep your knees slight bent to prevent stressing your low back.
