Thanks for that, as I was confused and this guy is in great shape, but has been training for years.

I do broomstick twists and russian twists, but I feel it in my obliques below my ribs and not on them where I really need the muscle.

I have built a strong rectus abdominus which I can see the outline of even though it is covered with fat. My problem is that my obliques cannot be seen unless I tense, otherwise my ribs are showing....

Thanks for the help, and no I am not at 225 yet. What would I do once I was? Is there a more robust handle?

I am switching to T bar rows and I was wondering if you could help. I saw Ronnie Coleman using a handle when he was doing t bar rows with an olympic bar. So I was wondering if you could point me to...
