    I did and still do it will just require me to have a SUV or something and like $5000+ because I will need like 12000 watts. But I am happy with the Type R's. Who know I might sell them along with the 1700 watt amp and buy some rims and tires with the money. Not sure just yet I dont even have the car yet lol...Im going to get my exercise on though.

    Lol how are you doing them? I know that if you just hand/arms by your thighs they are easy as shit. Do that shit with your hands behind your head and when you come up dont bend your beack keep it straight as possible. Then it hurts.

    yall might disagree but ive been working out a lot in the last few months and reading books and what not. doing the 100 or even 50 crunches is definitely not the way to go.

    lets say that when u first started working out, u benched 50lbs (3 sets of 10 reps). as u gain muscle, do u keep benching 50lbs until ur doing 300 reps of that same 50lbs? hell no, thats dumb as fuck! anyone that knows anything about working out will tell u to keep doing the 3 sets of 10, but progressively increase the weight (that is if ur goal is to have big muscles).

    the exact same thing applies to abs. right now i do 3 sets of 10-15 inclined sit ups while "hugging" a 35lbs barbell plate thingy, and by the time im done my abs are like bulging out! i use to do 50 regular crunches per workout, then i started doing the 3 sets of 10-15 with 15lbs and been adding weight every 3 workout sessions. trust me ur abs will grow a hell lot faster!

    and like everybody else said, u cant have any fat on ur stomach or the 6 pack wont show.

    Run a few miles before you do that situp workout of yours. Running breaks down abs, and situps regain the tone. but dont do them everyday because its a larger muscle group so it needs time to repair after that. I've been running for alittle over 3 years and working abs regularly and have a pretty nice 8 pack, or so im told.

    You sir are correct. But in fact you do have to have some sort of endurance to do that though. Kind of like running would you start running maybe a few miles then maybe add some weight while you run gradually or start straight off with a nice hefty amount of weight and run maybe 1 mile? I feel that you must first have some endurance before you add some weight. So a mass number of situps would help gain some endurance while adding weight gains more muscle/definition. I would rather start doing a large mass of situps to help gain a bit of endurance than maybe say 30 reps with 20 pounds 2 weeks or so later in the work out. Than start straight out with weight period and do like 15 reps with 15 pounds the first few days. But I do see where you are coming from. Also doing more situps tones it out.

    yah doing infinite reps for abs does nothing for you. abs are mostly fast twitch muscles, meaning you have to hit them hard, and fast for best results. 3 sets of 15 with no more than 5 seconds of rest in between works best, and adding some weight never hurts(you don't bench a plastic broom-handle, so why work abs out with no weight?). and try to get in 2 or 3 exercises.

    100 sit ups, 100 push ups, 50 Curls with 80 LBs and 1.5 mile run, everyday.

    Also, I used to wrestle myself, 8th in state my first year and have the record for longest qualifying match in my division (7.53). I loved it untill I screwed up my shoulder. Best workout of my life and loved that I could put my anger and stress fully into a sport. I had to play easy in practice or I would hurt my sparring partner like broken ribs or severly Dislocated shoulders. I used Russain Ties alot with a combintion of a combat roll ontop of the opponent. My best match was pin in 13 seconds by forfiet because I broke his wrist, hurt his shoulder and gave him a concussion in a matter of seconds.
    God I miss that shit.
