Lowering Body Fat

[Obessian]

yea i just need something to cut down on the extra fat around my lower abs and the love handles area, as you can see in the pic above. so idk if anyone has any cardio/diet regimes to help with that cause ill be glad to try, looking more for the ripped/cut look then just muscle mass.

You call that abdominal fat... youngsters :(

a way to keep things interesting with the lat development is to climb/scale objects. Like trees, walls, buildings, you know, whatever sounds good at the moment

first thing shave that bit of ofluu round belly button

second work on heavy weighted ab work

I know this goes against lots here but for what you are asking thats what you need to do thenonce you have canned upper abs withweights start same thing with weighted revers sit ups

try it and see

I think ab raises with a medicine ball hit the abs.?

[deadgame1]

hanging leg raises.get ups,hanging Lseats,side planks,side pushups (i think)wood choppers,weightedtwist(like a sit up only with weight and side to side)reverse hypers,hypers+twist at the top,regular planks,etc.,etc.,etc.

If you want some L-saet progressions, I can tell you a couple ;-)

[deadgame1]

hook it up ape

Kai, I'll go with the starting progressions (simply because I don't know your ab strength)

1st: Knees tucked in on counter:
Sit on the edge of a table or counter with your knees tucked into your chest.

2nd: D-seat on counter:
While sitting on the counter/table, extend one leg out straight and tuck the ankle of your other leg to its knee, forming a "d".

2.5: Bicycle of Doom:
Transition between the first and second positions, switching legs. It burns.

3rd: Full L-seat on counter:
This is when you have your legs completely straight.

4th: V-seat:
You raise you legs a bit higher, untill your body forms a "V" shape (congrats, you have very strong abs)

5th: Manna:
This is where you take the V-seat higher untill your knees are by your chest and your legs are straight. A tip is to lean back a bit to make it easier.

6th- 10th: the same, but on the ground.

After that, you'll have some mighty powerful abs.

The best way to ENSURE your buring fat is to get ketone strips and test your urine. If you don't have ketones in your urine you're not buring fat. I struggeled with this and couldn't figure out why I wasn't burning ketoes on what i thought was a low carb diet. The problem was the ketchup on my eggs. I would have never discovered that if I didn't test. You can find them at any pharmacy or Wal-Mart. They're $6 for about 40 strips.

Vassal: I'd be interested in the details of your low-carb diet. I made a half-assed attempt last year but wasn't successful. Ketone strips never changed colour. This year I have to "make weight" so I could do with losing 6 lbs or so of flab in the next 3 months. Thanks
