I have 14 inch biceps.I run 4miles daily.I have a home gym with a weight bar and can do 75lb lifts (preacher curls included)
For the legs I can do flexion, extensions with 150 lbs. I can do shoulder lifts with the same 150 lbs
However my stomach is still a small "beer belly"
No six pack but pits have arrived on the sides of the stomach
I do about 50 situps daily with the hands behind my head on the FIT bench with the head down.
Any suggestions?

Hi Kris60660 welcome to fit. Fill out your profile so all can offer you some good advise. If you are working abs, you might want to consider the 12 week ab program. Or have abs added to your current workout. ALos the other best thing to help get rid of the extra belly is cardio activities other than running. Good luck

yeah sit ups are a muscle builder, your exercising muscle on top of fat (hence the muscle grows underneath)causing growth in circumfrence.(added size)

Welcome to freetrainers Kris.
First off, congrats on the 14 inch pipes!
The stomach is the hardest and last place to lose the fat, as it is the first place we get it. No magic for that except diet. See if you can cut out some white carbs somewhere.
What we eat plays a key role in flattening that area out.
50 sit-ups a day I think is extreme, but that just me.
I would recomend you do 2 sets of 15 but very slowly. try counting 4 seconds down and 3 seconds up.
Hope this helps and good luck.
