Sincerely sorry about the name Caio they can be such yokes and don't I
know it! Reggie , reG, Sir Reginald, Rege.
(The spello wants to call you Cairo.)

I hope he's not reading this, else I'll be wearing my testicles for a necktie,
but the guy that runs this gym is chock full of hormones and expects that
users will be impressed by his diligent use of his equipment to achieve
this grotesque formation. I'm not fooled, but clearly these types and
many readers of the literature you mention, (yourself excepted :) direct
their obsession at nothing more than bodily overdevelopment without
any useful goal.
To choose an applicable term..don't accept value judgements from
those with low values. Is that confusing things?

Perhaps you have a problem with the word ' colloquial '? It means, ' not used
in formal or elevated language.' In folksy terms: something I see you
championing on another thread: "abs " is not perceived to be the whole of the
ribs to pubic bone, even though in my note to Linda you'll see I mentioned
this to be the case. I repeat...

Now who's being obtuse?
(Will the ladies kindly withdraw, the rest may of course stay:)

If you wish to build your lower abdomen in order to achieve the ultimate
super-shit, then I would suggest you not direct it at the underside of the
lungs. This is not a sensitive balance of opposing muscle systems, this
is a particularly messy form of kill or be killed.

"And now, for you ultimate enjoyment The Poo Machine versus The
Inhaling Team. Watch for the opening date."

"Roll up Roll up. See the boys in the band split their sides laughing."

Besides, it's a very good way, in my opinion to develop an hiatus hernia,
which may be construed as REFLUX. That means the stomach contents
in the lungs and a most unfortunate case of halitosis.
There are also contra-indications for the use of this
support in the homosexual community, especially while on stage.
There is some more I'd like to mention, but I feel a need to wash
my hands.

Ciao Caio

Regards Reg.
