    So it takes 80 minutes to begin using fat for energy, is what you're saying.

    Actually its 81.3 minutes

    Only if producing 1.21 gigawatts at the crank arm.

    Is that with or without the training wheels attached?

    they might get in the way, but if your power generation is kaput, you might need a sky hook.

    you do need to train then and treat them like other body parts. add weight, change reps and routine. GO to failure.
    No really. Visible abs are a result of low body fat. There are lots and lots of teenagers who have visible abs that don't train them at all. I mention teenagers because most people are leaner in their younger years than their older years, without doing a structured exercise program.

    You be surprise about older people with low body fat and do not train. Still have visible abs. Also you will see people in the 16-18 percent body fat who have visible abs.

    16-18% bodyfat is athletic status. So yeah. I guess they would have visible abs.

    Yes, you need a low body fat for abs to be seen but also you need to build them through exercise. For numerous reasons core and ab strength will help your performace, protect against injury etc etc. As far as appearance goes, ive had LESS ab definition when i was very skinny because i didnt eat enough to build any muscle (including abs). So its not ALL about body fat percentage and eating. Most would benefit from ab and core strengthening exercises in addition to maintaing a low enough body fat percentage. I am not an expert by any means. Just my experience.

    *on further investigation it seems i must have hit "last" as that takes you to a bunch of posts from 2014....

    It sounds like you’re just expecting things to come your way because you’re doing a bit of work.


    Are you eating in a deficit? Do you have sufficient muscle mass for them to show? Are you at a low enough body fat percentage?

    My guess is no to all three.
    They need to be yes.

    This is true. I made my abs and a really thick protective coating for my abs all in the kitchen.

    There've been a lot of grave robberies in the past couple days.
    But it's not a bad topic for newbies to get their eyes on anyway so, I vote "destiny." :smile:

    The question is: do zombies have abs, and if so, should they eat more or less brains to improve them?

    So it takes 80 minutes to begin using fat for energy, is what you're saying.

    the thing is, i'm not sure it matters. your body is going to want to replace all the glycogen that you burned up, and i always thought it would go get the resources to do that from fat. eitehr that, or i guess maybe from whatever you eat afterwards . . . but in that case you're still at the same bottom line, because if your body uses your most recent meal to make glycogen, then it's not storing your most recent meal somewhere as fat.

    i'm not a physiologist, though. for all i know the whole thing is really done by little green men in your blood, and you have to sacrifice a leprechaun three times a day just to keep them working.
