I'm in my early 20's and have been trying to tone my abdominal muscles to no avail. I don't eat all that many fatty foods. I try doing crunches, but they don't seem to work. Has anyone here struggled with this? :kaioken:

To be able to see a six-pack, you have to reduce the amounth of fat on your body. To bad you can't loose fat in a particular area, so you will have to lower your whole bodyfat%. So this by eating properly and doing a lot of cardio. Also, powertraining is usefull, since you do not want to look skinny.

Your ab muscles are probably big enough to be seen, once the fat is gone. So endless chrunches will not work.

Would you recommend the use of protein powders or other nutritional supplements?

I alway's advice the following. Suplements are to suplement your diet. First get as much out of your diet as possible. When your diet is good, than you can start to think about supplements.

Nothing wrong with a bit of extra protein if you are looking for muscle gain though.

Actually there is the minor effect of too much protein which can cause kidney failure.

Otherwise you are quite correct.

THE TRUE ESSENCE OF THE MARTIAL WAY CAN BE REALISED ONLY THROUGH EXPIRIENCE;KNOWING THIS NEVER FEAR ITS DEMANDS.
