the chest

how to close the gap? erm...ok, here's the situation. right down the middle just before the abs, it starts to part to the sides. how to make it fuller?

if the gap in between is obvious, what exercises with free weights to recommend to close it? will push-ups worsen it?

Simon Dean SG

Dips works the outer-chest well.It is much much better than pushups in my opinion.

You can try butterfly or chest flyes to closen the gap.

yeehaw SG

ooook. Very Happy thanks.

oh ya, you mentioned butterfly. i can't seem to find it anywhere in that website you recommend (www.exrx.net). that webbie is really good for a total idiot like me.

Simon Dean SG

it is that machine, where there are two joints at the sides.Where you bring them together and squeeze your chest.

Butterfly, dips and dumbbell chest presses should be able to do a good job.

You can try squeezing at the end of the butterfly like 2-3 seconds.

oh ok. thanks. but i'm not a gym-goer. perspire too easily and too much. only do free weights at home.

aim to hit a lean body(more like a basketballer's body. say Kobe?). i stand at 175cm and weigh around 70-73. got spare tire or some call it the 'love-handles' Laughing what would be an efficient way to get rid of it? what kinda diet? on top of the exercises that target these areas...

TRY TO AIM FOR 5 SETS OF 25 PUMPING PER 2 DAY AND ABS EXERCISE LIKE CRUNCHES AND ALOT OF OTHER STOMACH EXERCIE WILL GET RID OF THE SPARE TIRE..

U CAN GO LIBRARY BORROW SOME FITNESS MAGAZINE THAT TEACH U THE DIFFERENT WAY OF ABS EXERCISE COZ I ONCE HEARD THAT CRUNCHES ALONE WONT HELP MUCH, U MUZ DO A VARIETY OF ABS EXERCISE FOR PERFECTION

ALSO, TRY TO EAT LESS CARBO FOOD AND OF COZ JUNK FOOD IS EXCLUDED IN YOUR DIET TOO. LESS CARBO MEANING THAT U EAT LESS RICE BUT NOT ENTIRELY DUN EAT COZ U ALSO NEED CARBO FOR YOUR DAILY NEEDS EXCEPT U CUT DOWN YOUR INTAKE

DO NOT TRY TO DIET YOURSELF COZ IT WILL ONLY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO YOUR BODY. CARBO IS ALSO IMPT TO YOUR BODY

oh ok

Simon Dean SG

crunches do not get rid of spare tyre, cardio does.

and for your info basketball players from NBA do weight-training, i can bet my penis on that.

yeehaw SG

yep yep. i know they do weight-training. i can also bet my family jewels.

yeehaw SG

but diet is also very important when training to get more defined abs...defined yet strong lah.

i don't do protein shakes. everyday eat out. any suggestions or advice? as for no junk food(chips), no deep friend less carbs...anything to top that off? or add?

Simon Dean SG

You can also try hanging pikes.

its a goddamn good exercise, it trains abs, hamstrings, butt and lower back.
Its 10x better then crunches for abs in my opinion.
