16 year old abs/pecs- Yeah, i know...

coasterdude_1 Posts: 3 Joined: 2004/02/23	2004/02/23, 05:18 PM Just messaging to ask how i would go about getting good abs and pecs... besically a defined chest area and of course quite quickly without doing harm. Could anyone tell me any exercises- not weights- or a whole daily programme of exercises to do to achieve this. Thanks James x

Dumbell flyes will help more with definition again high reps low weight. Incline flyes and decline flyes will work. But you won't see that much definition unless you have some mass to work with. The wider the grip the more emphasis on the outter chest , a closer grip will work the inside of your chest but don't go to far in because you will put more of the load on your triceps instead of your chest. hope this helps a little

So i will post this here since the topic is about Abs and so on. Im wondering with abs, how often should you work them out? I have been doing different excercises for about 3 or so months and I still am not getting the look I want. I do them everyday, and with large set numbers. I usually do 75 leglifts, 75 crunchs and a side strength excercise. It has done some stuff for me. but its not very visible like I want. I still have a little fat over them that I can' get rid of and some on my lower stomach area. but when I lightly stretch that part out you can see my abs then. Im just wanting to know how often I should do ab excercises, and what not, to get a really nice looking set of abs. I have been working on it for so long and it just isn't going any farther. :(

Quality not qanity is the key for a cruch You chould come up off the floor, shoulder bald off, contract your abbs, hold for a count of two, go down slowly as if your "uncoiling" your abbs one at a time, pause( don't bounce) "pull up" again through your abbs, don't swing arms, or pull on your head. DIET IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING! abbs are built in the kitchen, if you don't eat good, your wasting your time! -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

Doing 3 sets of 20 each, every other day. so we will see what will happen. :big_smile: As for a diet, its really tough for me to give up my good tasting foods. I just can't think of anything good to make out of healthy stuff. I really want to start eatting better, but with school and everything its really tough to. any tips? :(
