You should repeat this part: "If not , at least you'll know from the label
on the machine
that the abs is NOT below the belly-button. Nor is it on it!!!
Unless I'm mistaken, I think that together we've just cleared
away one of the greatest hurdles to vocal comprehension
on this list. "
That's completely self-contradictory. You either use popular assumption or
technical information, but you tried to back up popular assumption with
WRONG technical information!
BTW, it may be a popular assumption in Australia but it's not a popular
assumption in Brazil that the abs go to the navel only. Also, all
'bench'-abs machines I've seen in Brazil ( all imported from the US ) have
the correct drawing.
