totally, it's all about looks to me, (not too be too vain about it) but somehow my strength has improved hugely nonetheless.
nice one getting the courage to get those pics up, i'll be expecting big things from you next month.
diego, what protein powder do you get? is it off the net or can it be bought here?

i use protein 90 and mass builder available at tony quinnns stores, 2 scoops of each with half a litre of milk and quarter litre of cream twice a day, you might not need as much calories as that though. it's slow digesting protein, which is better than whey in most situations
man...i had the best ab workout evar! i know a lot of people have a hard time working certain areas of the abs...namely the lower abs and the obliques. so here are a couple suggestions on exercises you can do to target that shit.
1. Hanging ab crunches
i know a couple of you said you liked these and anyone who's ever tried them knows why. i like to do them to the side so i hit some oblique as well, but they seriously are probably the best thing for targeting lower abs.
2. side crunches
ok i don't really know what to call these, but basically you hold a dumbell in your hand...standing...and squeeze the obliques of the opposite side of the dumb bell. if you don't have access to a rotary machine like at the gym, this is a great alternative for at home.
3. rotary machine
for those of you that do train at the gym...you gotta use this bad boy. i love it...probably the best way to isolate and train the obliques.
4. leg raises
once again not really sure what to call these, but it's another good exercise for the lower abs. basically what i like to do i get a flat bench...go to the end and lay down. now hang you ass off the bench so that you are supporting your legs in the air with your ab muscles....then you just kinda lift them up and down hehehe . if you can't do many with your ass hanging off the end, just start out doing them with more of your body on the bench, but the more you suspend your legs in the air...the more tension is put on the abs...hence the more they are working.
ok well i could list more, but just wanted to through out some of my favs for lower abs and obliques. i'm sure a lot of you do similar stuff already, but i thought i'd post it anyway hehehe...
if any clarification is needed at all...just ask

Well, after a week of hitting it hard I'm feeling pretty good....even after the fat bomb I just devoured. I just took two more pics at different angles to compare at the end of the month.

Ahh, I know what you mean. I was pretty lazy last week and didn't work very much so, it was easy to eat ok. I'll be busy this week though and that usually means fast food - I'll just have to be really selective.
It's so much more incentive now that I have these pics up tho! I don't want to slack and eat crap and look worse at the end of the month than I do now!

it's all about the preperation man. if you make all your shit up the night before or make an effort to get up a little earlier...then you'll be good...that's always my big problem..
