Bulging abs?!

I have a awkward bulge (like an alien trying to pop out :eek:) in my upper abs when I do crunches. It's not painful nor is it apparent when I'm standing but when I'm crunching, doing tricep pull downs and a few other exercises it really shows.

Is this due to improper form or just the way my abs react? It just doesn't look right
 
I have the same thing! It looks like there is an extra muscle in between the two rows of "packs" in the six pack (not that I have one). I have no idea what it is :p
 
I think i have a small one as well. It only bulges when i do certain lifts tho. As you mentioned push downs, it always does it when i do then :)

If you are not comfortable with it, ask your parents to make a Doctor appointment have it checked to be sure.

Does it go away after a short time after you are done exercising?

My wife calls me the "turd" around the house :)() because I have these "bumps" that stick out, and just says it my oneryness coming out of me. ;)


Best wishes to all!

I'm due for a physical in May so I'll bring it up. I'll let everyone know if it's an alien or not. Maybe it's an extra muscle ! :jump1:

As for asking my parents to take me to the DR. they said "hey..you're 39, take yourself!" ;)

Actually, it was my wife who pointed it out to me...more accurately, pointed and said "WTF is that?!!" :)

CRAP! LOL! I didnt realize you were 39! LOL.:)

I guess you are just a "tad" passed asking mom and dad. ;)

I must pay more attention. ;)


Any hoot, let us know how it turns out!

Any pics?

yeah, I'm staying tuned for this one :D

Chillen, just because you ask your parents before you do anything doesn't mean that every other grown man needs to too.. you see, your case is a little.. special :D
 
I still try to get my mum to pay for my dentist. It doesnt work though :( Yeah keep and eye on it. I would say it is probably one of those things that were on stargate sg1.
