Denny is concerned that if he builds his abs before losing weight, he'll "just look bigger in the midsection as the new abdominal muscles push the fat further out." Logical yet wrong thinking, Den. Don't you still comb your hair while wearing an old hat? Even though you plan on getting a classy new one?

Start working your abs and a strong midsection today. There's no time to lose. Time is muscle, time is progress, time is now. Your efforts are complementary - building muscle and burning fat - a little idealism never hurts.

The workout I recommend to Travis and Todd keeps your training in balance and provides effective body power and resistance essential to everyday living. A good, all-out ab/torso workout is a great warmup, body conditioner and aerobic activity - activates fat burning enzymes, burns calories, muscularizes, energizes. Check out also this link to the weight loss/fat loss page if you haven't already seen it.

The notion that ab development is in any way contrary to one's bodybuilding progress is incorrect. Just think when you finally rid yourself of the fat, your abs will be there to greet you. MAGIC.
