5'6 155 I started lifting and running again, Im over weight.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

You're perfect if 155 was all muscle. Unfortunately I'm not going to repeat the same thing as this is a good case, go read DIESEL's Cutting Guide. After spending three month of time on it, you will come back and give me 100$ and a hug. :) :p

Then tell us your food routine if you are so sure you are lifting correct.

That's a great job of further raising your post count without addressing his question Saine. Impressive.

Regarding your abs pedro.

Nothing too fancy. Maybe some bent knee leg raises on the Roman chair, perform slowly and with control. You could also perform some kind of crunch move - don't come up more than 30 degrees as you will start to use your hip flexors rather than your abs at that point. Again, slow and controlled, try 3-5 seconds up and the same down, cross your hands over your chest. Your neck may have been hurting, partly because it needs strengthening - which will come in time and also if you are performing the movement too fast and coming up too far, possibly also if your hands are behind your head and therefore pulling on your neck.

Try some Russian Twists for the obligues. Sit on a mat, legs out in front with knees on the floor and legs bent. Hold a light ball of some sort, turn to one side, let the ball drop and bounce, catch it then slowly turn to the other side. By dropping and then catching the ball it will stop you going too fast from side to side.

Focus on lower reps for these exercises. Most people do way too many reps for abs. Up to 15 reps max should do it, 5-10 is also very good when executing the movement slowly as I have outlined. Two to three sets per exercise

Don't forget some dorsal raises (hyperextensions) on the mat to strengthen your low back. You don't want to create strength imbalances.

That do ya Pedro?

(PS, Happy Birthday Metal)

Why would that help him in his ab quest?

If you seriously need help, just read it and try DIESEL's cutting guide. If you're not gonna do it and follow Templeton's, then by all means, go ahead. I'll even chuck in something:

Saine, your contribution to this board is minimal (from what I have seen). You clearly know little about training - or you choose not to show what you might actually know - yet you continue to flood the board with fluff posts and just confuse the hell out of these guys. It's painful to go through some of this stuff on here and filter out your crap. Seven or eight hundred posts in a month or so? Get a life. That link you put up was the first thing of value I have seen you post. How about more useful stuff like that rather than posting on every thread merely for the sake of it? Sorry dude, I don't mean to be too harsh but if we had more useful links and info rather than the fluff we would all benefit.

To the matter at hand:

It's not just about lowering bodyfat to reveal a "six pack", what about strengthening the muscles of the rectus and transversus abdomen? Functional strength and stability if you will. Dieting down won't do this, you need to work the abs as Pedro said he wanted to do. Would you stop working your chest and just cut up to reveal whatever musculature you already have there?

Diesel's cutting guide is solid but it's another issue.
