    Tell me about it. They go away when, if through extraordinary circumstances, my waist hits 33". Then when life returns to normal my waist immediately hits 33 3/4 again and they're back. It only takes about a week. Bastard waistline.

    I concur with all the hate directed towards love handles... Until I've got huge lats I almost have an hourglass figure =(
    My Journal

    Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

    I'm a little confused maybe someone can enlighten me on how they would make then worse.


    My father a prime example is so key on sidebends, growing up he only had a 30 pound dumbell and some bales of hay to toss around to get big on his farmland and did 100 side bends on each side every night for close to 15 years.

    To this day he has a nice bot belly with obliques showing and you can't pinch any fat of his sides an his bellys as hard as a rock and he claims it was from all the years of side bends that tightened up his midsection
