I don't train abs directly at all.

So do you pretty much leave it to cardio?
Right - definition comes from diet, cardio and supplementation.
I don't train abs directly because they get plenty of stimulation from other exercises.
Shelby,
I notice that even with all my other exercises (Squat, deadlift, row, etc) - that if i stop training my abs for a bit I notice my lower back start to get a little bit of a pain.. Almost like my core was weakened a bit.
Once i throw the ab training back in, my lower back pain goes away completely.
I take it you've never had that problem?

Shelby,
I tried the high seat on the flat HS. It felt better than where I usually have the seat TBH (the handle position felt kinda like a HS decline - less pressure on shoulders - which is why I never did A LOT of flat HS). But I went over to the incline and decline HS (for just one feelish set) and I didn't like the high seat on those as much as my usual.
Do you just do the high seat on the flat HS?
Thanks Shelby!
Dave

That ab shot looks awesome shelby (especially for the off season)! How long before you start "slicing and dicing"? Can't wait to see what your contest condition looks like, your off to a great start bud!
I have shoulder issues that prevent me from doing standard shoulder presses w/ a pronated / palms forward grip.
I did lateral variations solely for the last year or so and made good gains but recently I've discovered that I can do an overhead press if I use a neutral / palms facing inward grip (like some machines have) so I've been using those in my rotation too.
I still think your mind is your best asset Shelby. Keep trucking!
Question:
What do you think about the nautilus style pull over machine? I have been using it lately as a warm up but am liking it...
