Hey guys/gals I'd like your opinion on something. Loose skin after losing a ton of bodyfat. Other than spending large amounts of $ to have it cut off, does my buddy just need to fill it in with muscle? Lower ab region. He's really lean now everywhere else, butnow has that loose skin there. His upper abs are in pretty good, intercostals, etc just that one little area. Suggestions on exercises other than leg raises cuz he does those on a daily basis. He's even gotten to a point where he puts a 20lb dumbell between his feet and does straight legged raises with it.

Thanks a bunch for your input.

Oh, do you think he does abs too much as he does them 4-5 days a week and if he needs to add muscle should he cut that back cuz of overtraining them?

Hey Stay,

First off, your friend has done an awesome job. Losing bodyfat isn't easy for everyone.

Yes, IMO, he's doing too much ab work. I say that because it sounds as if he's doing a lot of abs in an attempt to lose some bodyfat in that area.
Unfortuently, it just doesn't work like that.

I think of abs like any other bodypart. No one works chest or legs or anything 4-5 times x week. 3 x's week is plenty, and not 1,000 reps. Plus dump the extra weight he's using. He doesn't want a thick midsection, I'm sure.

Age and time are the key.
If he's in his 20's, that skin should eventually tighten. If he's 40+ or has been carrying the extra fat for years and years, it's less likely. Surgery will leave a pronounced scar, I've seen many. Skin has a certain elasticity to it.
Just like a rubber band.

Peace,

MT

it may take some time but give it 6-12 months then reevaluate how much tighter the skin is and make sure the diet and antioxidants are in line.
 
A lot of guys who have carried too much fat for years have wrinkly lose skin under the belly button. When I am in contest shape it is noticeable in a most muscular but not in an ab thigh.

That is the penalty for being a fatass.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the input. Hey Mack nice to hear from you. Remember the client I was tellin you about? Type 1 diebetes? Well she quit on my like two weeks into it. She lost like 10lbs too!!! She just gave up, she sd it was too hard with work and school. Oh well. guess what...she gained the 10lbs back and added another 5 is what she told my other client who is a friend of hers. LOL oh well. :D
 
Hey Stay,

I do remember her.
My guess is she'll be back at some point.
Eventually she'll become sick and tired of feeling "sick and tired".

Welcome her back ;).
She needs you to continue your good work.

Sometimes, the disease has to take a hard bite on people to realize how important their health is. I don't wish this on her in any way.

But the reality of being on this earth as a diabetic, is very difficult and challenging. People don't realize how difficult it can be.

Peace,

MT
