floorfiller, I bet you that my 53 year old dad is in better shape than me (that’s not an exaggeration)! I’m the LAZIEST person in the world. I’m just blessed with high metabolism. I’m 5’5 and I weigh 110. Yea, I’m thin, and when I’m dressed in tight jeans, etc.. it totally looks I have this killer body...which I’m not saying that I don’t have a nice body...I’m just saying that I’m thin, and not in shape, and even a TAD bit flabby in my thighs and ass, u know like "skin n bones" look. I want to look like the VS models in a bathing suit:) That’s my goal. I have the physique (long legs, little waist), but like I said...just a little flabby.
You guys are giving me too much credit. Just because someone is thin, doesn’t mean they are healthy, or in shape. I want ppl to look at me, and think, "oh she must work out". I especially want definition in my upper back/shoulders and my ass/thighs. |

one thing im having a rough time with is obliques. I got the serratus and the abs are starting to poke through, but no obliques. Ive been doing right elbow to left knee twists on the decline bench and stuff but ...yeah. anything better? |
obliques are a biatch to get. the best way i've found to work them is on a machine. hopefully the gym that you go to will have a oblique machine...i don't know its official name...i think its like a rotary machine or something. anyway, that's what i like to use for obliques...if you've never used on...it should help out the situation fast...they're great machines.
another one of my favorite oblique exercises would be these hanging side crunch things hehehe...i don't know the name again, but you know...hanging from the chin up bar and lift your legs into a side crunch... |

what are you doing for back right now? i did my back yesterday and its a weak point for me. what are you doing for that ? |
Chins, Rows and Deads. That's all you need to do for back. Keep it simple. Ditch the pulldowns and do chins, everyone that does this never looks back. |

no oblique machine :\
deadlifts scare me. Seems like it would your lower back. |

well, if your serious about getting bigger, there is no substition for deadlifts with regards to making your back bigger and stronger. they work almost everything, including grip strength. if you have the form down (start off light), then work your way up. with proper form youll be fine, but if you around, your screw your back up bigtime |
