  1. Crunches and sit-ups primarily target the Rectus abdominus which is the classic "6 pack" muscle. The crunches, sit-ups, and hanging leg/knee raises really target this area for maximum hypertrophy. The ab wheel is great for strengthening the Transversus abdominus otherwise known as the TVA. This is a muscle that lies underneath the rectus abdominus and is not viewed as an aesthetic muscle but a stability muscle. Planks, ab roller, and stomach vacuum really work this muscle. To get that six pack look the quickest and most effective thing to do is lower your body fat as low as possible. Remember, there is no such thing as spot toning. This means even 20,000 crunches a day won't give you a six pack if you're at an 18% body fat. Those fitness models that you see on the cover of Men's Health and similar magazines are generally in the 3-6% range. This is not a really healthy percentage to sustain. I have been bodybuilding and powerlifting competitively since I was 14 and I generally can see my six pack at 10-12% body fat. It's a lot easier to sustain and healthier too.
  2. If this is in reference to me, I don't quite understand why you would say that? If not, oh well!
  3. I don't think that the purpose of their laughter was to offend the spirit or anyone participating wether in the audience or speaking. I view it as harmless. I would recommend trying to ignore it but if you continue to struggle I might read Elder Bednar's talk about taking offense. I'm praying for you! Wes
  4. I think that it is important for a father to have a relationship with his children, but not at the risk of the child's health. A possible solution may be to set some ground rules for him such as no smoking/drinking/other destructive behaviors around the children. It would probably also be a good move to make him come to you to visit the kids so he can't get them into too much trouble a state away.
  5. It sounds like it is quite possible that she is not really thinking marriage so I don't think I would propose if I were you. I recommend being extremely happy for her to go on a mission and writing her while she serves. If that spark is still there when she gets back then go for it! By no means am I saying to not date anyone else and just wait around for her, go out and meet other people. You may find someone 10x better!
  6. I agree with Eowyn and socal. One of my favorite quotes is "Nobody will ever love you until you love yourself." I have been in a similar situation and decided that I would limit my contact with that person and really work on bettering myself. Distance makes the heart grow fonder so who knows what could happen if you take a little time away from him
  7. If he (or she for that matter) has a true desire to repent that leaving that spouse is probably not a great idea. Personally I have always viewed husbands and wives as constantly buoying each other and raising each other up. The number of relapses is completely suggestive and there is no magic number. Having experienced a loved one go through pornography addiction my advice would be to try and get him/her into some type of addiction support group or some counseling sessions with a therapist specializing in sexual addiction along with spiritual guidance from ward and stake leaders. A good place to start would be to talk to your bishop, because they can typically refer to an LDS counselor that will bring a spiritual aspect into overcoming this obstacle. I'm praying for you! Wes
