Just watched Hobo with a Shotgun. Such a stupid movie. Although I wasn't expecting much from it

I assumed the Danish were quite good, being so far north and all. But this has been the most violent game I've ever seen - 6 fights in the first 10 minutes and they also injured the cardiff netminder so badly he had to come off. We're now 2-0 down as a result :(

The  Danish are about as much north as scotland is :P

And lol at the fights, that's fucking rude going all the way over there just to fight. Should have at least played proper.

But you had fun, that's' what counts.  :)

Because we can!

Ab workouts are worthless if you aren't doing a ton of cardio. Even if you could do 10,000 crunches in one sitting you couldn't see your abs unless you had really low body fat.

Cardio cardio cardio.

Ugh, no. They're core workouts for a reason. You need a strong core to do anything physically. Train them and train them hard, you'll be using those muscles a lot.

Although Cardio is very important as well, since it helps your blood circulation and prevents early heart rythm inconsistencies. If you want to live long I'll argue that cardio is much more important than actual workout.

Had a great night yesterday. Apparently I also drank responsibly, so I didn't wake up feeling like crap. Met new people too.

Right. In term of health benefits, that's obvious. But a mix of both would be even better.

In other news, turns out doing flies with a heavy dumbbells is a lot rougher on your pecs than simple push ups. I woke up barely able to lift my arms.  ;D

It depends on how you do your pushups. The wider the arms, the more weight goes on your pectorials. The closer, the more on the triceps.

shouldn't the closer version also improve the training of the deltoid muscle(at least the anterior part)? wheras the far apart hands should train both the anterior and posterior parts of the deltoid

I'm surprised that I quite liked valvrave s1. The only thing that annoyed me throughout the series was the light tone suffused in it's serious and dark base... now what should I watch next?

It does, it's a compound exercise, it hits something like 4 muscle groups. I'm just specifying these parts because he wants to train his pectorials and just stating that the way most people do their push ups, they don't really hit the pectorials with a lot of weight.

We're talking about getting "cut". So I stand by Tiff's statement. You can do 10,000 crunches in one sitting and you still will not see your abs unless you have low body fat.

I like workout balls personally. Anything you can do that uses one makes the workout much more effective and works way more groups than it normally would.

Like those half ball things with the platform bottoms, those are really versatile.

For instance for the guys, if you want to make your push-ups really difficult get one of those half workout balls and flip it upside down then put your legs on some incline surface like the top of your bed or something, then hold on to the sides of the platform and do push-ups like that. If that's too hard you can get a full ball and put your feet on it and just use the ground with your hands. If you want it even harder though you can combine the two. You could flip it upside down and do squats and stuff too.

You can actually do side crunches with a workout ball too. Cardio stuff is a lot more effective with it as well.

I think one of the most effective things you can do for your abs is just barely sitting on the edge of something sturdy and having a weighted ball between your ankles then raising your legs up. You should get to where you don't need your hands on the chair or bench to support you from falling over, but you can do it to help yourself out at first.

Another similar one I really like is laying flat on your back then lifting your legs straight up into the air vertically and then your hips, then your stomach, and you can even go all the way straight vertical to your shoulders and then slowly back down. That one's fun.

A real easy one is if you could like lay over something like say over the edge of your counter with your legs on the counter but the rest of your body hanging off and then you have a weighted ball in your hands then you bring your body all the way up straight horizontal then back down. It's a lot easier if you have something designed to do that though with like handle bars beside where your upper body is otherwise getting out of that position may be less then graceful lol.... You could use some stools or something to support your arms to help lift yourself up onto your counter when you're done, barring that.

I dunno dude, like... I mostly do cardio and butt exercises so I don't know all that many exclusively for abs. Most of the ones for your butt will inadvertently work your abs too since it helps to tighten your abs/obliques/lower back and your legs/thighs, because it helps tighten everything up and push it out. :P

Or just stand on your hands and do pushups. But as you keep going more and more vertical, the muscles you're using keep changing.

Because we can!

So handstands are now push-ups...  This workout could get intense.
