ABS : Today vs Yesterday
« on: October 23, 2009, 10:50:04 AM »
Some of you GetBiggers have been posting your recent ab shots and most of them are damn impressive for you GetBig guys regardless of your age and training habits. IN fact some of those pictures show abs that are in better condition than the best of the best back in the earlier days.

Here are a bunch of ab shots that were taken off the net that were supposed to be used in a school fitness project. I post them here in an attempt to show you all how much ab development has improved over the years even among those who don't compete or never intend to compete.

The majority of these photos I intend to post are abs shots of the best developed guys during the times that they were taken.... meaning that their abs were among the best developed abs at that time.

I think you will agree that the abs of yesterday don't come anyway near to the abs that these "kids" are developing at present.

I say "kids" because the  most impressive abs you'll see in these photos are stacked on the younger generation and in most cases exceed by far the development of their other muscle groups. It appears that some kids nowadays don't spend too much time at McDonald's and like to do lots of situps

Back in the old days it was simply a matter of having a small waist and wide shoulders and a great face.

Yea, Funk! But those guys came later and will eventually lead up to today's ab standards. Thanks for posting those pictures. I'll add some more "progressive ab" shots.

But, based on my experience, the original "great abs" were mostly lean waists. But that lean waist "theory" slowly evolved to what you see in the photos you posted plus the following.....

The above shots show something quite different than the abs Reeves worked so hard for, but still not fully developed .

But abs slowly improved .....
