Hoy /fit/.

For the last three years I have done 150 sit-ups a day, just before I go to sleep (two sets of 75, separated by about three minutes of rest). It has done wonders to make sure I don't put on much weight, no matter what I eat or drink (mind you, I don't have much sugary stuff or fatty stuff, although I could eat more vegetables and fruit I guess).

I guess my question is how I could get my abs a little more cut without going to a gym or buying weights (small house without room for equipment and my arm problem, explained below). I would also like to avoid doing more sit-ups if possible because I want some variance.

I can't do push-ups because my left elbow cracks and pops loudly if I flex it in that way. It honestly sounds like someone's shaking some heavy rocks in a bucket. My doctor told me it's just some callousing or some such and not anything serious, but I don't trust doctors and won't be doing any long-term exercise with that arm.

Has anyone got any advice? Cheers in advance.

Duke Nukem always relevant, he's buff as Hell.

Try L-sits, janda sit-ups, and dragon flags.

I don't understand the relevance of doing push-ups to building your abs; there aren't a whole lot of abs exercises that require a push-up style arm movement.

At any rate, if you already have abs then I'll assume that losing more body fat is not an option of yours, since it IS the first and extremely obvious solution.

Consider doing some obliques work, try bicycles, scissors, roman chair, etc. Just get some variance in there, if you've been doing 150 sit-ups a day for THREE YEARS you're definitely not going to make any more progress. Even do weighted crunches, it'll be bound to be more interesting than what you're doing.

OP here.

It's not quite every day. I don't evercise if I've been drinking (obvious reasons), if I'm sick or if I'm slaughtered from work. That means about one or two days a fortnight I can't do them.

Apart from the sit-ups I don't really do much exercise. I'm not a couch potato or anything, but I don't usually run or jog for extended periods (asthma hinders me, but I don't like hiding behind the illness).

My work is kinda active. I work at a hostel as driver/security, which means half is driving a van and the other half is walking the grounds and looking for trouble/sunbathing Swedes.

Thanks for oyur help

Do you play sports? You should start, even with asthma. Play something like tennis, even ultimate frisbee -- sprints and breaks, as opposed to a game more like soccer, which is run run run, although I would still suggest taking up soccer too. Take the meds with you, use em before and after you play. You should be able to gain some endurance for running around, at least a bit. Anyways, do your abs show? post height/weight

Height - 187cm (6ft 2.5in)
Weight - 78Kg (172 pounds)

The abs are raised out, but lack any individual definition.

And I hope those conversions are right...

You probably do have defined abs, but you have to lower your body fat. Do that by jogging or something.
