As a kid i was always on the chunky side and continued to get heavier with age until i reached my max on 317 POUNDS!!! i am now 23 years old and holding at 152lbs and a 4 year veteran of the Marine corps. I achieved it with mainy cardio, lots and lots and LOTS of running no matter how much i hated it. i stil have alot if the left over skin to get rid of and your excersises are definetely at the top of my workouts. Being a Marine we do planks ALOT and i agree with it being one of the top for obliques. Thanks again and keep it coming. Awesome site and tips Rusty.

The other things will help enhance it, but it's got to be visible first.

I figured that was never attainable for me. In January I started eating better and eating less - cutting a lot of fat out of my diet and excess calories...nothing horrendous, but enough so that I could feel better at the end of the day/week. In April I started running. I had not run since HS (20 years) and even then it was 1-2 miles max. At a slow pace of 9:30 - 11 minutes/mile, I worked my distance running up from 1-2 miles til I could run a 5K, then a 10K and did some other shorter run races - 4 and 5 milers before taking on a half marathon in September. My time at the gym was minimal...but just enough to keep some definition and keep from getting too small and weak in my shoulders and upper back and arms. However, I was attending my mat pilates class as many days a week as I could afford - she taught 4 classes so I would make it to at least 1, sometimes 4/week. We always did a lot of plank and oblique exercise that I guess must have contributed toward developing this V, although I didn't even realize it. By July I had the pelvic V going on and my gf was taking great notice (she says it "drives her crazy"), as well as some other female friends whom I was running with. I'm 37 and at 6'4", I had gone from 215 lbs in Jan down to 185-190 lb range (this varies daily depending on how much I ate and ran in the last 24 hours) by the end of August...maybe even earlier, but I spent all of July and August on the road and didn't step on a scale (or go o the gym, or take pilates class...it was just running, some push ups and good diet for the summer) and my girl can't keep her hands off me if I'm walking around with my shirt off and jeans or shorts low on my hips. Needless to say, I'm a happy man and wish I'd discovered this earlier in life, but better late than never.

The dudes in the videos dont look anythink like the model at the top. No matter how many planks they do they would need to get at around 8% bodyfat to do that.

The higher reps build that pumped up "fluffy" bodybuilder look, that I recommend you avoid. Strength training and tough cardio intervals (HIIT) is your route to the look you are looking for.

I'm a teenage guy who was fat for the first 15 years of his life (like 30-35 pounds overweight) but still participated in cross-country, track, etc. I just ate a TON of crap all the time. Then last summer I made a big mistake: dropped 45 pounds from running long distance, but did not eat hardly anything. Needless to say I lost most of my muscle and retained a "skinny-fat" composition. So here I am, age 16 6' 0'' 139lbs and a lot of determination. I've been able to put on about 5 lbs of weight (from 131 to 139 after I realized my mistake last summer) using protein powder and eating healthy whole foods while running 5ks 5 or 6 times a week (i like running in case you haven't noticed). I guess my real question here is, how can I get that "fit" look without being a muscle monster or a antisocial food nazi? Advice is greatly appreciated. Mat Hey Rusty I'm a first time poster,
