The Olympics: Lean Body Mass Education
Surely watching the Olympics have made you all gawk at your televisions, right? I know we have gawked at the same thing... the leaness of our athletes. From Michael Phelps to the men's synchronized swimming teams, these boys have no fat but plenty of muscle tone.We Americans should strive for flatter stomachs. It is sexy to see abs. If I can rest my beer on the top of your "shelf", then you are not doing enough cardio. You are not really "athletic".
Treadmills alone are not going to do the job. You need something more intense like: swimming, running, or tennis. Find something cardio related you enjoy and DO IT WITH INTENSITY!

I saw the bit about what Phelps eats, something like what you feed a family of 4 for dinner and yet he's still under 200 lbs. When all you do is train then it's easy to look so lean. For the majority of us having a little fat is considered normal....looking like Phelps is HARD work.
When did we get "men's synchronized swimming teams"?
I don't know, but it looks like the GAYEST sport so far in the Olympics. I may be wrong though...
The funny thing is, Phelps is TOO lean. His coaches want him to gain weight, but try as he might (even on 10,000 calories a day) he can't do it.
To me, he looks a bit like Auschwitz at the Olympics.
I haven't bothered watching the Olympics- the athletes are so young and I don't need to be reminded that I'll never be able to compete in Rhythmic Gymnastics at my age!!!
Brett, make sure you heed your own advice.............
I am a bit pissed that they wear bigger bathing suits now... I say they should revert back to the smaller ones so we can take in more of that lean looking body... as I sit on the couch with a bag of chips and beer watching from half a world away... ahhhh...
Abs are gay. Bis tris pecs delts traps and lats are where it's at.
Gonna say no to this "suggestion"... I like guys with some meat on their bones and big muscular backs, chests, shoulders and arms. Phelps doesn't remotely get me boned.
I heard GREAT sex is cardio. And speaking about Our boy, (Michael Phelps). I think him being tall has allot to his sexiness. Do nto get me wrong. I would not turn him down, but I would not turn the author of this blog down either, both I think are HOT. Everyone has different taste.

A flat stomach is kinda nice but a nice ass is better.
You can't have a flat stomach because then all your bear friends will point at you and make fun of you. And make horrible cheese grating motions a la Nathan Lane on your midsection.
"Treadmills alone are not going to do the job. You need something more intense like: swimming, running, or tennis."
I'm pretty sure treadmills ARE running.
Ryan:
In my opinion, your muscles are better stressed by naturally running. Even though treadmills can be turned up to go faster or to simulate a hill climb, nothing beats the real thing which will constantly stress out the muscles better than a machine can.
I'm so confused. Now we're supposed to be lean and trim? Some time ago we had a discussion and I was supposed to get big and beefy. It was supposed to save me from alien invasions and wars of the world.
I freaking love that guy. Hot, pleasant, amazing athlete.
Perfect athletic bodies are over rated.
