Muscles Worked: Abdominals
Reps: 20
Description: Lie flat on a floor mat with your legs straight out in front of you, flat on the floor with your knees straight. Place your arms over your head flat on the floor behind you, palms facing up. From the starting position, lift your arms over your head in an arc and then follow with your upper body. Be sure to tuck your chin hard to your chest throughout the movement to prevent neck injury. Your arms will help propel your body through this movement. As you get stronger, try the hands-behind-the-head variation below. Touch your fingers to your toes, or as close to your toes as you can get, then reverse the movement and, again keeping your chin tucked, go back down to starting position. As soon as your back and arms are touching the ground, reverse the motion and start your second repetition.

yes, i want to look like worms are trying to escape my body. it's fresh, it's new, I'm in!
I think that's called striation. It's what happens when you're in shape. Try it!
Actually, I think the worms happen when you don't get enough fat in your diet. Your skin dries out and you veins pop out. I know it's a look a lot of guys aim for (so many boys in Chelsea have ashy skin they start to think it's normal), but it is most definitely not a sign of being "in shape!"
No way Hells - that's not "in shape". That pic is just gross. Even his eyebrow is bulging! (plus I think he would be considered vascular before being considered striated)
There is such a thing as being too cut, and the boy is tilting in that direction. Extreme or professional bodybuilders can be impressive, but rarely sexy - to me at least.
he's fit so i ask waht is the alternative to that?
Oh well, I think it's hot, each to his own, I guess. The less body fat, the better, as long it comes with muscle.
Don't get me wrong - I think this guy is hot. It's the 'in-shape' part I disagreed with. I've worked with some of the world's top athletes (Kona Iron Man, Moloka`i Hoe, Surfing Triple Crown … sadly, worked with never led to played with), and this is not how any of them looked!
Haven't looked through all eight pages of this proposed routine but as one of the world's oldest living homosexuals, I hate working out but do it faithfully because everything I read and hear assures me "this is really good for you." It used to be about beauty — now it's too late for that, and it's about health. And the social aspect, shall we say.
But hasn't anyone else noticed that darling Andrew rah-ther casually reveals that he's not just a smoker but a "very heavy smoker"??? Andrew darling you are too cute and valuable and smart to be doing that. Please, dear, stop it at once. It might be the hardest and and for certain will be the best thing you ever do.
Yes, Richard. Plus, quitting smoking would certainly help him put on the muscle/weight he desires, since smoking suppresses the appetite. Worked for me.
ps - smoking also leads to erectile dysfunction. I ust wish it wasn't so damn enjoyable!
