SETS & REPS: WORKING ABS WITH HIP REPLACEMENTS

Q. I’m an old-timer playing around with weights. Awhile back I asked for advice about a detached left biceps tendon that I did not have surgically re-attached. I followed your advice and my biceps are recovering size and definition. Thanks so much. Now, I have had both hips replaced and I can’t bring my knees up more than 90 degrees so I can’t do crunches. Do you have any ideas for my abs?

A. Getting old is a bitch. You don’t have to have your legs bent up on a bench to do crunches. They can be flat or with a slight amount of flexion in your knee joints and you only need to curl up in a crunch, just so your scapulae clear the floor. You can also do ‘curl downs’ on a lat machine and leg raise variations within in your hip joint range of motion.
 

SETS & REPS: TAP DANCING ABOUT THE ARNOLD CLASSIC?

Q. About Marty Gallaher’s steroid editorial in your last issue, while Arnold may or may not be ignoring that bodybuilders in his event may be using steroids, either way, your reply tap-danced through Marty’s questions. Besides that, your magazine has too much anatomy detail unless readers are medical students. I am a school teacher and should not need to carry "Gray's Anatomy" just to understand your magazine.

Your ego is bigger than your biceps ever were. You write dumb things. In your last issue, you also wrote that Rich Gaspari changed bodybuilding forever. Ronnie Coleman’s left thigh has more muscle that Gaspari's entire body does. I think your magazine has women who look like Tijuana hookers. Sports Illustrated has slimmer, more fit models.


A. Marty Gallagher and I tap dance together (usually after midnight on Tuesday). Gray’s Anatomy is a 'heavy' book and perhaps if you read it, you wouldn’t have to ‘play with yourself’ to build up your forearms. I do highlight anatomical details as I’m compelled to make up for years of the other muscle magazines treating readers as idiots. If bodybuilders are going to list on their resume that they are experts on body training and nutrition, they should know what the four quadriceps muscles are, and, at least, know the base structure of a fat, protein and carbohydrate.

With the Gaspari article, you missed the point. There's no one who has more muscle in their entire body than Ronnie Coleman does in his left thigh! Hookers from Tijuana know the correct thing to put in their mouths. (I mean nutrients, of course). I fear that many of the SI models may stick their fingers in their mouths to stay slim.
