yea, i`ve been loosing everywhere but my abs, but they have lost allot since sept.. was really soft today, holding water or some thing.. here is one from 2 weeks ago where it shows more definition in the abs, they are always the hardest for me to loose bf in..

Great work Mike keep it up.

**Freak** · 11-05-2008, 08:53 PM

There we go, flex the abs. Remember you just had your refeed Mike

Those carbs will attract water.

It's strange that you can see your obliques before you can see your abs. Good job getting down though buddy, it's a road that never ends.

thank you for your comments, yea i thought it strange the obliques are coming in , but after the last couple of days i shed allot of water retention, and the abs look much better than these current ones, i think i`m going to repost next week if the water issue is resolved, was really soft in the abs that day, anyway thanks again,
mike

Man, I'm hoping that's what 8-9% looks like. I can definitely see a pretty good outline of abs and the obliques look very defined.
I've got a ways to go still (currently 13%), but I will be pleased if my abs look like that when I break 10%.
Good work!

thanks lbj,
its cool to joke with the old man thingy, i do it all the time, the + thing is i forget what i read by the next day, lol
i think i got that from being married for 21 years and always having her tell me i dont remember anything i told you,, umm yes dear ,, haahaa,, it also helps with the traps, always shrugging when she asks a question...

hey thanks for nice comments and taking it easy on a old man..

**mikeh40+** · 11-14-2008, 10:03 PM

haha! the "ol' lady" jokes never get old.

adeutch · 11-14-2008, 10:09 PM

Damn, Mike! You've probably answered this before, but how long have you been training? Seeing all these 16 year olds doing awesome.. sometimes makes me feel like I started too late. But maybe I should start setting some 10 year goals and I won't feel so rushed.

umm i started when i was in high school, but that was just for football, than we never touched the weights again until next season, so i really dont count that, i got serious about the diet, supplements and training when i was 22 but took until i was 25 to start to train smart, all the gains in muscle are what i earned from the last 15 years, i`m the same size now as when i was at my peak in training, and i hit that when i was about 35-36, then i took a couple of years off, and now i`m back into it, thank god for muscle memory..

**lil_big_junior** · 11-15-2008, 09:43 AM

HAHAHA lol Mike, you're a funny guy bro...

Back to the pics, looking very solid
