I wasn't trying to be funny but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I couldn't tell u the last time I actually did a crunch or sit up etc. Back when I had a 4 pack (never had a 6) I was probably between 12 and 14 stone, tanned and even had a split in my biceps. I've always been into the history side of the sport and I think it was a muscle control expert by the name of Count Saldo (from memory) that sent out medals etc if you could do certain tricks. One was, as above, called 'the rope'. I was even able to do the flex one side then the next.

In those days, far smaller than I am now, I probably had what many girls liked in terms of what they called a muscley physique. I've told the story many times of me sun bathing on my parents balcony in a deck chair and three girls calling up for me (they could see my feet on the railings). So I stand up, all Hawaiian Tropic'd up, tanned to the nth degree, 4 pack, veins and a little muscle (in my mind anyway) and get (damn sweet it was too) all of them going 'oo look at his abs' in a very, very nice way.

Like I said... ages ago. Probably 20+ years and 6-8 stone ago.

If I could stay at 280+ and still have a set I'd be as happy as you'll be.

You might have genetics for a 4 pack. Some have 6 and some 8. That's just individual variation. Anyway I googled muscle control and found a site I've used before. It was Count Saldo but Monte Saldo. Check this site for a brief write up: http://www.sandowmuseum.com/maxalding.html

This link takes you to a site the above one recommends and specifically to Monte Saldo's book and the section on the ab control:

Now it doesn't get better than that - short of digging the old boy up!!
