Yes, Islanders can get pretty Huuuuuuuuuuge. I was studying with a kid who was doing national rugby, strength and conditioning. He was about 330, probably naturally about 310, and about 13-14%. He is trying to loose body fat to get some speed, and always works in the 3-4 rep range, so it isn’t even like he is pumping himself up for size.

I’m curious about this “power belly” look. Basically, does direct ab training mean that your stomach will stick out more even when you’re lean?[/quote]
take a look at my avatar, that’s a power belly. Personally I think it looks bad ass when I am really lean, b/c when you look at my stomach my abs aren’t just outlines, they are big slabs of meat.
IDK if that’s a good thing in the bodybuilding world though, you have to have a big chest to compensate, but I like it.
power bellys are the shit, i used to have a pic of dorian yates @ 315 pounds offseaon with a power belly on my wall.

He’s either delusional, lying, or a real beast.

Any way to those ho offered me concise and positive answers, thank you , and haters flame on.
oh and in case you havent come across a pacific islander or any other new zealand freak before, 300 plus pounds is nothing to dudes down-under, i routinley see 350 - 380 pounders eating taro in my neck of the woods.[/quote]
guys a samoan. nevermind the doubts
Personally, Ive found that my abs looked by far the best when my back was the strongest. I highly recommend you place more consideration on direct middle and lower back work. Also the back has great potential for hypertrophy and will help keeping the bf % down if all fat lost is replaced with the same weight in lean mass.

yeah thanks for that comment, my back is lacking in great definition at present as i tore my miniscus in my knee not so long ago.
so as you could imagine deads and squats have been out for a while, but im getting it operated on in just under 2 weeks, so ill be back to it asap.
So in the interum ill stick to chins rows etc and work my abs in there and keep up the diet and cardio.
Cheers
