was thinking today and wondered to myself what muscle is that that "encases" the abs they give to superheros and such?
is that like...an obliue thats SUPER buldging...or...genetic..thing?

I don't understand what you're getting at.

The Abs are mainly things like Transverse Abdominii, and the Obliques down the side. The 6 or 8-pac, is the result of hard training, and good diet to help them show.

ok so if the guy has a 6/8 pack but there is an "encasing" all the way around the outside of the abs...kinda looks like a shell or something

im trying to find a picture

That just sounds like his skin, bearing in mind he'll have low fat levels, so the skin wil be tighter around the muscle wall.

hmm well whats the muscle that surrounds the further most(towards the bellybutton) abs?

the "abs" is basically one big muscle but thendons run across them which seprates them into obliques, rectus abdominas etc...the "encasing" i think you're talking about is simply low body fat

hmm

it must be

speaking of low body fat...do your guys'es ab definition vary day to day?

mine does i mean i always have a six pack and v line and "riblets" but some days they are way more visible and some not so much

yeah some more than others depending on diet, drinking, sleep and even the weather

Dalton85 · by **Dalton85** on Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:42 pm

weather?-elaborate please =D

Well I doubt a 6-pac would be as visable if there was dark cloud as opposed to sun, and most people wouln't go out in snow, with an uncovered 6-pac.

ohhhh
i was thinking fat loss had to do with the weather

you know what i hate

leg lifts.

if your in the sun your skin can stretch or something giving better definition, read that somewhere not sure about it though...but in the winter months the body can store more fat to keep core temperature up if your not right onto daily intake etc

One possibility would be someone drinking more Water in hotter months, causing more Fat metabolising.

Dalton85 · by **Dalton85** on Fri Feb 29, 2008 1:45 am

boss, i thought water helped your metabolism

swans05 · by **swans05** on Fri Feb 29, 2008 2:34 am

it does but you can also retain water if your not drinking enough of which the body does to stay hydrated if you're not doing it for yourself
